The paper aims to account for the empirical stylised facts related to changes in sectoral structures that have led to the growth of services in most advanced countries over recent decades. A growth model with evolutionary micro-founded structural change is developed, which formalises the role of...

The paper contributes to the literature on the relation between structural changes in demand and supply and growth. We develop a macro-economic model with agent-based micro-foundations that articulates the links between production and organisational structures on the supply side, and the...

The paper offers a theoretical analysis of long-run economic growth as an outcome of structural changes. We model the microeconomic behaviour of firms in the final good and capital sectors, and the evolution of classes of workers/consumers. We carefully craft economic behaviour onto empirical...

The paper develops a multi-sectoral growth model that links a Post-Keynesian macro-framework to an evolutionary modelling of technical change and industrial dynamics. Following Pasinetti 1981 and Verspagen 1993, we assume that sectors are integrated such that the dynamics of each sectors? demand...

<p> This paper analyses the emergence of sectoral specialisation and its effects on growth rate differences providing an alternative approach to endogenous growth processes. To achieve this, we first investigate the conditions leading to sectoral specialisation as an emergent property from the...</p>

This paper proposes to identify the micro-level sources for the dynamic increasing returns occurring at an aggregate level. The paper reverts to a micro model of technological change in-line with the evolutionary literature on industrial dynamics. The data generated through numerical simulations...

This paper analyses the sectoral specialisation mechanisms and their effects on growth rate differences providing an alternative approach to endogenous growth processes. The framework developed relies on a Kaldorian growth model with evolutionary micro-founded technical change. The paper...
