“…rising globalization (e.g. Windrum and Tomlinson, 1999;Franke and Kalmbach, 2005), the rising complexity of business operations (e.g. Holweg and Pil, 2012;Berlingieri, 2015), the rising cost of monitoring workers, and the fast rate of technological progress in ever more specialized service activities.…”

“…In addition to the sectoral specialization induced by trade, intensified international competition, combined with a comparatively higher level of labour costs in advanced countries, generate structural change by forcing global firms to devote efforts into implementing technological and organizational innovations (Peneder et al, 2003;Franke and Kalmbach, 2005). From a theoretical perspective, firms can raise their degree of competitiveness on international markets by modifying or rationalizing their production processes, notably through a change in their ratio of labour to capital, and by reorganizing themselves worldwide.…”

The Drivers of Structural Change

The main goal of this paper is to provide an integrated survey of the literature devoted to identifying the drivers of structural change, broadly defined as the process of reallocation of economic activity across the three broad sectors agriculture, manufacturing and services. Using the GGDC 10‐Sector Database, this paper first presents the empirical facts associated with structural change in different regions of the world – that is Europe and the USA, Asia, Latin America, and Africa – then reviews four determinants of structural change: (i) changes in income, (ii) changes in relative (sectoral) prices, (iii) changes in input–output linkages and (iv) changes in comparative advantage(s) via globalization and trade.

“…While the former outsource part of the technological and productive activities to specialised service providers, thus sustaining their growth by demanding a new range of intermediate products and services, technological advances in the latter sustain the dynamics of the whole manufacturing branch (Park and Chan, 1989;Franke and Kalmbach, 2005).…”

Technological paradigms, regimes and trajectories: Manufacturing and service industries in a new taxonomy of sectoral patterns of innovation

2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The paper presents a new sectoral taxonomy that combines manufacturing and service industries within the same general framework. This exercise is relevant because it seeks to achieve a greater integration between the study of sectoral patterns of innovation in manufacturing and services, and to point out the increasing importance of vertical linkages and inter-sectoral knowledge exchanges between these interrelated branches of the economy. The empirical relevance of the new taxonomy is illustrated with reference to the innovative activities and economic performance of manufacturing and service industries in Europe. This empirical evidence, which presents fresh results from the Fourth Community Innovation Survey, supports the relevance of the taxonomy by showing the great variety of sectoral patterns of innovation in European industries.

“…The agriculture sector (L1) directly corresponds to the agriculture sector M1; the industry sector (L2) corresponds to M2, M3, and M4; and the services sector (L3) includes M5, M6, M7, and M8. This industrial classification is based on Franke and Kalmbach (2005) and Uemura and Tahara (2015). Uemura and Tahara (2015) classify industries on the basis of Franke and Kalmbach (2005), confirming that the Japanese industrial structure is similar to that of Germany, and that there is a strong industrial linkage between the export core manufacturing and business-related services sectors in both countries.…”

Sources of Productivity Growth Dynamics: Is Japan Suffering From Baumol's Growth Disease?

This study examines the sources of labor productivity growth dynamics in Japan (1970–2010) and investigates the extent to which Japanese economic performance has been affected by Baumol's growth disease (BGD). We find that BGD silently undermines Japanese economic growth. However, the magnitude is miniscule, and consequently the aggregate labor productivity growth rate has not been decreasing monotonically. We also explore how BGD is arising and why it is small in the Japanese economy. BGD is weak because (1) the positive Baumol growth effect is also working in certain services sectors and (2) BGD is not a durable phenomenon: even if a sector begins to suffer from BGD, it is likely to recover quickly.
