Convergence and Modernization Revisited (2012, background): “Rodrik (2012) finds unconditional convergence in labor productivity across manufacturing industries for recent decades in 118 countries.”
The Importance of Manufacturing in Economic Development: Has This Changed? (2017, neutral): “In a series of recent publications, Rodrik discussed the driving nature of manufacturing (2013), how successful regions have changed their structure to benefit from this driver of economic growth (McMillan, Rodrik and Verduzco-Gallo, 2014) and whether this path of economic development is still…”
On the Structural Transformation of Rural Africa (2017, background): “With much of the growth literature suggesting that convergence is faster in industry than in (non-tradable) services (Lucas, 2009; Rodrik 2013), and commodity prices collapsing since 2012 following the end of the commodity supercycle, this does not bode well for sustaining growth and poverty…”
Future growth patterns of world regions – A GDP scenario approach (2017, background): “In a recent paper, Rodrik (2013) demonstrates evidence of unconditional convergence in manufacturing industries.”
Skill Transferability, Migration, and Development: Evidence from Population Resettlement in Indonesia (2016, background): “Our findings shed light on how soil-specificity may contribute to the relatively slower spatial diffusion of technology within agriculture compared to non-agricultural sectors (Schultz, 1975; Rodrik, 2013).”
An African Growth Miracle (2016, background): “Almost all of the countries that have grown rapidly (say at 4.5% per annum) over a period of three decades or more have done so by industrializing (Rodrik 2013).”
Can Developing Countries Gain from Defying Comparative Advantage? Distance to Comparative Advantage, Export Diversification and Sophistication, and the Dynamics of Specialization (2018, background): “The manufacturing share of exports is an indicator of the economy’s capacity to – competitively – export manufactured goods, which are generally considered as the most efficient drivers of long-term economic development (Rodrik, 2013).”
Recessions, recoveries and regional resilience: evidence on Italy (2015, background): “The importance of the manufacturing sector for explaining local economic growth and convergence across areas is related to its ability of sustaining higher investments, capital accumulation, and producing tradable goods (Porter, 2003; Rodrik, 2013).”
Structural Transformation in Africa: Static Gains, Dynamic Losses (2015, methodology): “However, much manufactured products were only destined for domestic markets and not internationally competitive.15 In contrast to Rodrik (2013a) we do not find automatic convergence in the manufacturing sector.”
Urbanization with and without industrialization (2015, background): “…a log-linear utility function over the three goods: food produced in rural areas (c f ), urban tradable goods (cd ), and urban non-tradables (cn), 5 We could explicitly incorporate a rural non-tradable sector or a rural industrial sector, but this would not change the logic of the model unless…”
Manufacturing as the key engine of economic growth for middle-income economies (2017, neutral): “unconditional convergence happens in the manufacturing industry (Rodrik 2013).”
