How Could the South Respond to Secular Stagnation in the North?

Abstract: Developed countries face the risk of a sustained lack of aggregate demand, i.e. secular stagnation. Demand-oriented growth models emphasizing the balance-of-payments constraint raise concerns about attendant adverse growth impacts on developing countries from reduced export growth. These concerns are well-founded, albeit less serious than the simplest version of these models would imply. Relaxing their assumptions and emphasizing cumulative causation forces from domestic-demand growth and relative price effect… Show more

“…The concept of the BOPE growth rate was put forward by Thirlwall (1979), and has given rise to a large theoretical and empirical literature (e.g., Guarini and Porcile 2016, Lanzafame 2014, Mayer 2017). Thirlwall's (1979) model is based on the idea that, in the long run, countries cannot run current account deficits, hence their current account needs to be in balance.…”

“…How might sectoral structures evolve in the future, and what are the implications for policies to accelerate development? The trajectory of the world economy is now particularly uncertain, because of political turbulence, controversy over decarbonization and robotization (Ford 2015), and concern about secular stagnation (Mayer 2016). HO theory, however, offers a framework for analysis in which sectoral structure depends on only three things: variation among countries in endowments of immobile factors (skill, land, and labour); variation among goods in immobilefactor intensities; and the height of barriers to international transactions.…”
