International Trade and Productivity Growth : Exploring the Sectoral Effects for Developing Countries /

The paper estimates an empirical relation based on Krugman's 'technological gap' model to explore the influence of the pattern of international trade and production on the overall productivity growth of a developing country. A key result is that increased import competition in medium-...

520 3 |a The paper estimates an empirical relation based on Krugman's 'technological gap' model to explore the influence of the pattern of international trade and production on the overall productivity growth of a developing country. A key result is that increased import competition in medium-growth (but not in low- or high-growth) manufacturing sectors enhances overall productivity growth. The authors also find that a production-share weighted average of (technological leaders') sectoral productivity growth rates has a significant effect on the rate of aggregate productivity growth.
