“…By contrast, the BP-constrained growth model is a demand-oriented model based on the assumption that factor supplies and technical progress are largely endogenous to the growth of output itself. 3 McCombie & Thirlwall (1997b) provided a further refinement of the theory of the BP-constrained growth to ensure that the economy's long-run growth is consistent with a sustainable path of foreign indebtedness, and an implied theoretical conclusion is that capital flows cannot permit an individual country to increase its growth rate above that given by the Thirlwall´s Law by very much or for very long. Elliot & Rhodd (1999), in turn, by extending the model in Thirlwall & Hussain (1982) to include the effect of debt servicing, and by sampling the same countries and time span, found evidence of an improved predictability of the BP-constrained growth model.…”

“…It is shown that if one allows for capital inflows, but assumes that the ratio of the current account deficit relative to domestic income remains constant, the basic conclusions of Thirlwall´s Law are still valid. Along similar lines, McCombie & Roberts (2002) have argued that under reasonable assumptions regarding the sustainability of net foreign capital inflows as a ratio of national income, the inclusion of these inflows in a BPconstrained growth model would not make a substantial contribution to loosening the balance of payments constraint.…”

“…Para McCombie e Thirlwall (1994) e Thirlwall (2005, o desempenho das exportações depende conjunturalmente do crescimento da renda mundial e estruturalmente da competitividade da indústria, a qual determina, em grande parte, os termos de troca entre os países. Os autores destacam a importância da industrialização como motor do crescimento, pois o setor industrial opera com retornos crescentes de escala e é difusor de inovações, influenciando a produtividade de toda a economia, aumentando assim sua competitividade (penetração) no mercado externo.…”

“…Ainda segundo Silva Carvalho (2007), todos os fatores acima apontados devem ter alguma importância para explicar os resultados empíricos sofríveis dessa versão. Uma segunda tentativa de dar conta da introdução dos fluxos de capitais na modelagem da restrição externa aparece em McCombie (1997). Esse tratamento, porém, embora busque sanar várias das dificuldades presentes na tentativa anterior, como a introdução de restrições ao endividamento e da consideração dos seus custos, ainda padece de alguns problemas: a) segue o tratamento da restrição externa de Thirlwall e Hussain (1982); b) utiliza a paridade descoberta dos juros 11 -uma relação sabidamente com pouco suporte empí-rico 12 ; c) a variável empregada para avaliação da sustentabilidade do passivo externo líquido é a razão entre este e o PIB doméstico, mas este último, medido em moeda nacional, não capta adequadamente o tamanho do descasamento de moedas (Eichengreen, Hausmann e Panizza, 2003) que dá origem ao problema de restrição externa; d) curiosamente, a única taxa de juros considerada no modelo como capaz de afetar a 10 Para uma discussão desses conceitos, vide Medeiros e Serrano (2001, p. 119-125).…”
