Structural change, balance-of-payments constraint, and economic growth: evidence from the multisectoral Thirlwall's law

Abstract: This paper contributes to the empirical literature on balance-of-payments-constrained growth by investigating how structural change, identified with change in the sectoral composition of exports and/or imports, affects the extent of the external constraint. This is done by testing both the original and a multi-sectoral version of Thirlwall's Law for a sample of Latin American and Asian countries. While the original, aggregate Thirlwall's Law is found to hold for all sample countries but South Korea, the MultiS… Show more

“…Isso significa que quanto maior a razão entre as elasticidades renda do comércio exterior, menor a restrição ao crescimento por parte do BP. Em economias primário-exportadoras, a tendência de crescimento é menor que dos países industrializados na medida em que essa razão é menor para as primeiras 36 (Gouvêa;Lima, 2010Lima, , 2013. O gap de renda entre países desenvolvidos e subdesenvolvidos deriva desta restrição.…”

“…Such a limitation known as the Thirlwall balance of payments constrained growth model, which postulates that the balance of payments position of a country is the mainconstraint on economic growth, because it imposes a limit on demand to which supply can adapt (Ghani, 2006). Later evidence for Thirlwall's law was found for Argentina, Brazil, South Korea, Malaysia, and the Philippines (Gouvea, 2010).…”
