Changes in Sectoral Composition Associated with Economic Growth
Abstract
In this paper, the author uses dynamic general equilibrium methods to examine the interrelationship between sectoral composition and growth. She shows that growth is affected by sectoral composition and vice versa. The model is basically a Solow model of sustained growth with multiple consumption goods and nonhomothetic preferences. Each consumption good is produced using different factor intensities. The rate of exogenous technological change is different in each sector. Nonhomotheticity of preferences drives the result that sectoral composition affects growth rates.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
