India's Pattern of Development: What Happened, What Follows? (2006, neutral): “Imbs and Wacziarg (2003) show that in the course of development, countries first diversify within manufacturing, producing many things, and then after a certain level of income, start specializing, producing fewer things.”
The Real Effects of Financial Integration (2006, neutral): “Imbs (2004) builds on Imbs and Wacziarg (2003) in arguing the level of development is a prominent determinant of specialization patterns.”
FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND URBAN CONCENTRATIONS: UNBUNDLING SPATIAL LAGS a (2009, neutral): “…with maximum likelihood: ln( f di) = 0 + 1ln(dUS) + 2Host variables + 3Surrounding Market Potential + W ln( f di) + u, (1) 11Specialization typically follows a U-shaped pattern with specialization first falling and then increasing as countries grow richer (e.g., Imbs and Wacziarg, 2003).”
Growth and Volatility (2007, background): “However, Imbs and Wacziarg (2003) show that the notion of a steady state economic structure , to which growing economies would converge, is not supported by the data.”
Manufacturing as the key engine of economic growth for middle-income economies (2017, neutral): “Imbs and Wacziarg (2003) find that the evolution of sectoral concentration about the level of per capita GDP follows a U-shape pattern, which means”
Trade facilitation and the extensive margin (2013, neutral): “All in the gravity tradition, but using various ways to define and measure trade facilitation and to estimate its results, Wilson, Mann, and Otsuki (2003, 2005), Soloaga, Wilson, and Mejı́a (2006), Djankov, Freund, and Pham (2010), Persson (2008), Lee and Park (2007), Nordås, Pinali, and Geloso Gros”
Does Export product diversification help to reduce energy demand: Exploring the contextual evidences from the newly industrialized countries (2021, background): “It rises with economic progress, while it is replaced by concentration beyond a threshold limit (Imbs and Wacziarg, 2003; Cadot et al., 2011), which indicates that the NICs should focus on diversification strategies to improve energy efficiency during export concentration stage, as it can help to re”
Export Diversification and Economic Growth (2008, background): “A problem is (see Imbs and Wacziarg, 2003) that export data for different sectors are subject to different levels of disaggregation.”
The Real Exchange Rate and Economic Growth (2009, background): “As countries grow, the range of tradable goods that they produce expands (Imbs and Wacziarg 2003).”
Growth slowdowns and the middle-income trap (2013, background): “Imbs and Wacziarg (2003) argue that there is an inherent link between diversification of the product base and growth as poor countries diversify away from agriculture, although this relationship is nonlinear and may be reversed at higher levels of income.”
