The aim of the article is to analyse the performance of the manufacturing sector in Europe in order to check whether there is a relationship between the level of development and the share of the industrial sector, and whether the manufacturing sector plays a key role in the economic growth and...

The present article is an introduction to the special issue of the PSL Quarterly Review organized by José Luis Oreiro (University of Brasília) and Giulio Guarini (Tuscia University) with a selection of the best articles presented in the IV International Workshop of the Structualist Development...

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...

The direct investment flows of Germany since 2018 are remarkable in the context of long-term development and global direct investment activities. While inflows to Germany have been below average in recent years, outflows from Germany - with the exception of 2024 - have been above average. These...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

Developing countries are deindustrializing at earlier stages of development than experienced by advanced economies. Is this trend symptomatic of inefficiency If so, what are the welfare costs This paper proposes a definition of premature deindustrialization based on whether the pace of...

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...

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...
