The Rise of the Service Economy (2012, unknown): “Our particular non-homothetic preferences build on those of Matsuyama (2000, 2002), Murphy, Shleifer, and Vishny (1989), and Zweimueller (2000) in their work on structural change.”
Why England? Demographic factors, structural change and physical capital accumulation during the Industrial Revolution (2006, background): “Zweimuller (2000) shows how, in an endogenous growth model, redistribution can be growthenhancing, while Matsuyama (2002) demonstrates how development depends on the exact shape of the income distribution.”
Explaining import quality: The role of the income distribution (2009, background): “…1998), that an export boom may push a country into industrialization in the presence of a large middle class (Murphy, Shleifer and Vishny, 1989), and that an improvement in the productivity of one industry may trigger the take-off of a series of industries one after another (Matsuyama, 2002).”
Structural Change and the Kaldor Facts in a Growth Model with Relative Price Effects and Non-Gorman Preferences (2011, background): “This intratemporal utility function falls into the class of “price independent generalized linearity” (PIGL) preferences defined by Muellbauer (1975) and Muellbauer (1976).”
Inequality, Lobbying and Resource Allocation (2006, background): “11The fact that “equal poverty” can be inimical to efficiency is known in a wider context (see for example, Mirrlees (1976), Matsuyama (2002), and Ray (1998)).”
Automation and jobs: when technology boosts employment* (2019, unknown): “This model is related to the notion of hierarchical preferences (Matsuyama 2002) but draws even more directly on the original notion of a demand curve (Dupuit 1844).”
Urbanization and Structural Transformation (2008, unknown): “See among others Echevarria (1997), Gollin et al. (2002) and Matsuyama (2002).”
Structural change, Engel's consumption cycles and Kaldor's facts of economic growth (2008, methodology): “While previous papers have studied models featuring Engel’s consumption cycles (e.g. Matsuyama, 2002), a main contribution of the present paper is to show that this framework is consistent with balanced growth.5 Prima facie reconciling non-linear Engel-curves and the Kaldor facts seems to be…”
Engel's Law in the Global Economy: Demand‐Induced Patterns of Structural Change, Innovation, and Trade (2019, unknown): “Both Murphy, Shleifer, and Vishny (1989) and Matsuyama (2002) considered only the closed economy case.”
