Integration into the global economy can cause shifts in industries and decrease the industrial sector's share. Deindustrialization, which refers to declining industry share, is commonly observed in developed countries. However, many developing countries have also experienced deindustrialization...

This paper investigates the deindustrialization process in Germany and Spain from 1995 to 2018. It is argued that the deindustrialization trajectories of each country are partially related to their growth models. An analysis in two steps is conducted. First, using the OECD input-output tables, a...

The rise in global trade volumes since the early 90s has been welcomed by many under the notion that trade helps countries edge closer to their economic potential. A concerning observation, however, is that while Asia, Latin America, and Europe seem to have witnessed a discernible rise in per...

In recent years, the European industrial sector has been facing significant pressures that have sparked concerns about a potential wave of de-industrialisation. The drivers typically invoked are the energy crisis triggered by the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, China's increasing...

Over the last forty years, Latin American countries (LACs) have experienced a variety of specialization trajectories, while sharing a common pattern of weak and unstable growth. Given the accelerated premature deindustrialization path and the loss of productive capacity, manufacturing has...

This article takes the first step in attempting to create a more accurate timeline of deindustrialization, whichis generally understood as a process that begins and proceeds through the 1970s. Iarguethat thisnarrative of deindustrialization, which is very much tied to 1970s events, should be...

Manufacturing has long been regarded as a primary engine of growth and economic development in developed countries, even as the rise of the service sector and deindustrialization have become increasingly prevalent since the 1970s. Despite these shifts, the manufacturing sector remains a...

Aggregate productivity growth in the EU14 has slowed significantly in recent decades. Structural change toward services has contributed significantly to the growth slowdown. Future growth is projected to decline further due to the rise of sectors with stagnant productivity. Europe is projected...

We argue that the US trade and industry sector has experienced several unsustainable sectoral processes, including (i) a fall in the trade balance in machinery and equipment and high-tech (HT) industries, (ii) a rise in import multipliers in machinery and equipment and HT industries, (iii) a...

This article takes a further step in identifying a more complete economic history of deindustrialization. Following the extension of the timeline and its divorce from the 1970s, this article examines the reasons for production facility relocation out of Detroit prior to the 1970s with a...

The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of productivity in developed countries, including EU countries and Ukraine. Hypotheses about the identity of the deindustrialization factor as the main cause for productivity decrease for both the Ukrainian economy and the economic...

Purpose This study aims to analyze and assess 21 years of media coverage (2000–2020) of Flix, a small industrial village located in an rural area on north-eastern Spain, which has endured in these years a severe environmental and industrial crisis, with a strong potential for stigmatization...

Developing natural resource-rich (DNRR) countries exhibit a significant propensity for consuming luxury manufacturing products, primarily driven by the windfall generated from their abundant natural resources. However, they often lack the domestic capacity to produce these products. We...

We investigate the employment consequences of deindustrialization for 1,993 cities in France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, and the United States. In all six countries we find a strong negative relationship between a city's share of manufacturing employment in the year of its country's...

Purpose This study aims to investigate whether Bangladesh would avoid the middle-income trap (MIT) in its transition to a high-income country (HIC) according to its “Vision 2041”. Design/methodology/approach Using both actual and forecasted secondary data, three MIT models of different...

The war in Ukraine has exacerbated pre-existing production problems in manufacturing networks originating from the coronavirus pandemic. Material shortages are compounded by uncertainties about sufficient energy supplies. Above all, energy has become more expensive for European industrial...

In Deutschland wird intensiv über die Gefahr einer Deindustrialisierung diskutiert. Steigende Energie- und Arbeitskosten auf international höchstem Niveau, hohe Steuerbelastungen, eine überbordende Regulierung sowie Defizite bei analoger und digitaler Infrastruktur lassen befürchten, dass...

In this note the author discusses the trend of French manufacturing value added since the 1970s in aggregate, per capita and per member-of-the-working-age population terms and compares it with what the same figures for other major advanced industrial countries over the same period. The author...
