“…A strand of macroeconomic research puts sectoral heterogeneity at the root of the structural change experienced by advanced economies in the last century. Besides dierences in income elasticity of demand characterising sectoral goods, the rise and fall of the industrial sector has been due to sector-specic technological features, as higher total factor productivity and a larger scale of production compared to agriculture and services (Buera and Kaboski, 2012;Duarte and Restuccia, 2010). Another eld which emphasises sectoral heterogeneity is the study of the environmental sustainability of economic growth.…”

“…Buera, Kaboski and Zhao (2013) is most similar in spirit to this paper. Omitting taxes and women's higher productivity in services, the authors build on the framework of Buera and Kaboski (2012) to study the role of skill, scale and women in the rise of services. The authors find only a very small feedback effect from female employment on services.…”

“…One can think of the two sectors as being either two different technologies for producing the same good-e.g., traditional vs. modern as in Banerjee and Newman (1993), Midrigan and Xu (2014), and Kaboski et al (2014)-or two different industries where production is best done with, respectively, small-scale technologies (e.g., services and non-tradables) and large-scale technologies (e.g., manufacturing and tradables) as in . Buera and Kaboski (2012) show that services and manufacturing differ in their optimal scale of production. Holmes and Stevens (2014) show that the manufacturing sector itself can be split into large-scale plants producing standardized goods and small-scale plants making custom or specialty goods.…”

“…First, the share of manufacturing or tradables in total employment is not particularly large in most countries (Buera and Kaboski, 2012). Moreover, the fact that establishments and firms in these sectors are large (i.e., have many employees) immediately implies that the number of establishments and firms must be small.…”
