“…Recent research (UNIDO 2016) shows that manufacturing will still offer ample opportunities for developing countries to grow in the coming years. Haraguchi et al (2016) confirm that manufacturing continues to offer prospects for developing countries, and they conclude that a small number of developing countries comprise a significant part of the MVA of this country grouping, whereas a large group of developing countries have failed to develop their manufacturing sector. For economies such as that of NACs, in which minerals and hydrocarbons are abundant, structural change should take place through the acceleration of the pace of diversification toward manufactured goods and through the introduction of more dynamic and efficient technologies.…”

“…Despite concerns about 'premature deindustrialisation' (Felipe et al 2016;Rodrik 2016), the results above show (as in Haraguchi et al 2016) that for developing countries as a whole manufacturing's share of employment rose, as did its share of output at constant prices. But the rises were mainly in land-scarce developing regions, while land-abundant regions deindustrialized (as found also by McMillan et al 2014 andRodrik 2016).…”

“…Manufacturing in developing countries became more concentrated on the larger and richer ones (Haraguchi et al 2016). 18 The unweighted average manufacturing share of GDP in developing countries in 2014, at 12.5%, was far below the 20.3% share in table 4 (which is a GDP-weighted average), and more so than in 1985 (when the averages were 14.8% and 20.2%).…”

The United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research provides economic analysis and policy advice with the aim of promoting sustainable and equitable development. The Institute began operations in 1985 in Helsinki, Finland, as the first research and training centre of the United Nations University. Today it is a unique blend of think tank, research institute, and UN agency-providing a range of services from policy advice to governments as well as freely available original research.

During 1985During -2015, globalization intensified the factor-endowment-related pattern of sectoral specialization. In skill-abundant developed countries, manufacturing became more skillintensive. In land-scarce developing East Asia, labour-intensive manufacturing expanded, especially in China. In land-abundant developing regions, however, manufacturing stagnated or declined, while in land-scarce South Asia manufacturing was held back by low literacy and weak infrastructure. The shares of service sectors in output and employment increased in most countries, but mainly for reasons unrelated to globalization. Changes in sectoral structure in the decades ahead are subject to much uncertainty, but will continue to be shaped by differences among countries in land abundance and skill supplies. Abstract:

The econometric regression analysis demonstrates that an increase by 1°C of annual mean temperature leads to a decrease in the GDP growth rate by 0.44 per cent on average, which is statistically significant at the 5 per cent level. On the other hand, the estimated coefficients of agriculture, industry, services, urbanization and export are positively associated with GDP growth rate, and these are statistically significant at the 1 per cent level. Sector-wise correlation analysis provides statistical evidence that climate change is negatively associated with various sectors, such as agriculture, forest, human health and arable land. In contrast, it has a positive relation to water access and electricity consumption. Analysis of coastal regions shows that climate change negatively affects the local economic sectors of the coastal zone of the country.Originality/value -Although this study has received significant insight from the world-renowned research publication "The Economics of Climate Change: The Stern Review", there is a dearth of research on the economic impact of climate change in the context of Bangladesh. The findings of the paper provide deep insight into and comprehensive views of policy makers on the impact of climate change on economic growth and various sectors in Bangladesh.
