研究成果概要
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of deindustrialization on economic growth and to compare it with the impact of industrialization. The paper employs a two sector neo-classical growth model as the theoretical basis of empirical tests. The two sectors are industry (or manufacturing) and services. Then, the growth model is converted into testable growth equations. Empirical tests using data from 93 countries for the period from 1975 to 2002 indicate the contribution of the service sector on economic growth is almost the same as that of the manufacturing sector. However, further tests using sub sets of data with different income levels show the relative contribution of the sectors depend on income levels. The results imply that transition from agriculture to services without going through industrialization should not be a desirable development policy and that the impacts of deindustrialization on economic growth are positive for rich countries.
