A video of my talk on structural change and growth

Here is the complete video of my talk a couple of days ago at the World Bank. I am presenting my paper with Maggie McMillan on structural change and economic growth.

I hope Ann Harrison is still talking to me after what I said about her at the beginning...

Since when was weakening the WTO (if that is indeed what's going on) a bad thing? The set-up of the WTO, all of its accords and the GATS in particular were all brought to us by Jeffrey Sach's 'wrong economic model of the world', the same one that brought us the onging global economic crisis and precipitated the 'Arab Spring'. Ironic though it is that the anti-democratic and oligopolistic corporatization of the world that is at the centre of all that the WTO does should have precipitated discounted gucci such an uprising against repression,the fact remains that the way that the WTO was conceived and built is antithetical to everything discount gucci handbags democracy is supposed to stand for. 2945abc45 0421

There are over 100,000 rapes in the United States every single year. That is the highest number for any of the countries in the United Nations. U.S. prisons are already bursting at the seams. As you read this, there are over 2.2 million people in prison in the United States. In fact, the U.S. leads the world in the number of prisoners and in the percentage of the population in prison. The United States has 5% of the world's population, but 25% of the world's incarcerated population

Prof Rodrik, thanks for this.
Your arguments about liberalization at the expense of inter-sectoral misallocation not necessarily being a good bargain seem to me very appropriate. I would just like to add a comment to your analysis in a dynamic setting as I would like to know if this is something that has already been researched. The idea can be based on your model: it is a case when trade liberalization leads to changes in employment shares positively correlated with productivity levels but only in the short term. This would be a case when liberalization in certain situations leads to greater efficiency in allocation of production factors but only for a while given that it is not sustainable in the longer term.

The case I’m thinking of would be Portugal and maybe some other similar countries, which had quite a good deal of domestic savings when they fully liberalized and where liberalization meant that production factors went to the tertiary sector but mainly non-export sectors (construction, banking etc). In my view (would still need to gather all the exact data) this led to a short term efficiency but a longer term inefficiency given that it generated external imbalances (naturally this is just part of the whole story). The ‘industry rationalization’ in Portugal did not seem to lead to short term lower productivity but it did in the longer term because of the particular allocation of factors that resulted from the association of liberalization, convergence in interest rates to lower levels (German like) and high level of subsidies (grants from cohesion funds) towards infrastructure...

This inter-sectoral allocation while optimal in the short term resulted unsustainable in longer term leading to very low growth once credit dries and internal demand cannot grow further.
The argument would just be a small extension of the idea that markets may not allocate factors of production efficiently in a dynamic sense and you can enter an unsustainable growth path. Would then provide some more further rationale for public intervention in trying to avoid external imbalances due to such type of allocations in a structural adjustment context.

Many places and centers offer business and trade promotions to both buyers and supplier.What about the differences in skill intensities across industries? The job losses in the relatively unskilled-labor intensive battery industry should have little effect on the relatively skilled-labor intensive machinery

Someone who achieves a small amount of transient fame (through, say, hype or mass media) may become labeled a "B-grade celebrity". Often, the generalization extends to someone who falls short of mainstream or persistent fame but who seeks to extend or exploit it.

The performance was repeated at the University of Leeds in May 2006; new music was performed and recorded as part as the Liverpool Biennial 2006. In these performances the Stones were joined by a Chinese classical orchestra, and the bells of Liverpool Cathedral.
