  1. Globalization, structural change, and economic growth Dani Rodrik April 2011 Based on a paper with the title “Globalization, Structural Change, and Productivity Growth,” authored jointly with Margaret McMillan (IFPRI). I acknowledge financial support from IFPRI and a joint IL-WTO project on "Making Globalization Socially Sustainable."

  2. Productivity growth through structural change  Importance of mis-allocation  Recent work focuses on within-industry misallocation  Older tradition of dual-economy models focused on broad structural change  This work reminiscent of that older tradition and complements more disaggregated research

  6. Data sources  Start from Groningen Growth and Development Center (GGDC) data base, which provides employment and real valued added statistics for 27 countries disaggregated into 10 sectors (Timmer and de Vries, 2007; 2009) – We converted local currency value added at 2000 prices to dollars using 2000 PPP exchange rates.  Complement with data from national sources for 11 additional countries (China, Turkey, and several African countries)  For the most part, VA comes from national income accounts, while level and structure of employment come from population censuses (and other household surveys) – Since employment data are not based on labor force or industrial surveys (save for extrapolation purposes), coverage of informal sector should be less problematic than otherwise
