Introduction Economic development macro regularities

Economic growth and development: structuralchange

Radical change in the share of employment and value added from agricultureto services (Maddison, 1989)

Radical change in the structure of gross domestic expenditure, from food andbasic needs to education, health and leisure (Maddison, 2003)

Product discovery and transition on the product space (Hidalgo andHausmann, 2008a)

⇒ We need to understand how to combine these difference dynamics ofgrowth, development, technological change, and structural change, which aredisequilibrating by definition

Complex evolving systems Properties of a Complex System

Main properties of a Social System

Emergence▶ No given macro dynamics: emerges from lower level interactions

Rationality: micro entities with simple and routinised behaviour (heuristics)

Heterogeneity▶ Structural and behavioural differences▶ Hierarchical organisations (different weights)

Interactions▶ Local (there is a topology)▶ Within and between different levels of aggregation

Time and dynamics▶ Equilibrium is a particular condition▶ Interactions lead to persistent evolution (no Nash equilibria)

Complex evolving systems Properties of a Complex System

Economic models and Complex Evolving Systems

Standard Economic models Complex Evolving Systems

Individuals 1,2 or infinite, fully rational, so-phisticated learning

N large but finite, simple entities,adaptive, routine behaviour

Interactions Extreme cases, trivial patterns(full or empty/star graphs)

Non trivial patterns, local in-teractions with subset of otheragents

Diversity Possibly heterogeneous, but di-versity does not matter for aggre-gate dynamics

Persistently heterogeneous, di-versity matters for aggregate dy-namics

T i m e a n dAggregateDynamics

Static (not truly dynamic) mod-els, only equilibrium states count

Truly dynamic systems, equi-libria possibly irrelevant, meta-stable states and emergent (self-organized) properties

Complex evolving systems Agent based computational economics

A broad definition of ACE

Population of heterogeneous (economic) ‘agents’

Agents live in complex systems evolving through time (Kirman, 1998).True dynamics: non reversible

“Hyper-rationality” not viable (Dosi et al., 1996): internal states, rules ofbehaviour, and adaptive expectations

Agents are autonomous or semi–autonomous

Agents interact with one another and possibly with an environment(local/social interactions)

Endogenous and persistent novelty (technological change): open-ended spaces

Aggregate structure emerges from agent interactions (Tesfatsion, 1997)

Generations of agents emerge from the interactions of their ancestors (selection, retention,innovation 7→ evolution) (Nelson and Winter, 1982a)

Structural change and economic development Introduction

A definition of structural change

Structural change involves many aspects of the economy

“[...] complementary changes in various aspects of the economy, such as the sectorcompositions of output and employment, the organization of industry, the financial system,income and wealth distribution, demography, political institutions, and even the society’svalue system” (Citation omitted, 2008)

“[...] a change in the structure of the economic system, that is, in its components and intheir interactions. Components are [...] particular goods or services, and other activitiesand institutions, such as technologies, types of knowledge, organizational forms etc. Whatdoes it mean for a system to be in equilibrium when its composition keeps changing due tothe emergence of qualitatively different entities? ” (Saviotti and Gaffard, 2008)

Page 10: 2014.05.19 - OECD-ECLAC Workshop_Session 2_Tomaso CIARLI

Structural change and economic development More Evidence

E.g. the industrial revolution in England

Firm size growth & concentration in large capital intensive firms (Desmet andParente, 2009)

Increase in the number of goods for final consumption (Berg, 2002)

Closer involvement of science in technological change (Mokyr, 2002)

Increased use of capital in agriculture and manufacturing ⇒ technologyembedded in machines ⇒ overall increases in productivity (Kuznets, 1973)

Urbanisation, income inequality and changes in social class composition(McCloskey, 2009)...

Some changes precede income growth, others unfold as a consequence ofincome growth

Structural change and economic development More Evidence

Product variety, demand and economic growth

“Growth and development typically involve the creation of new economicactivities.” (Burgess and Venables, 2004, p. 3)

▶ Product variety relative to the US is correlated with relative per capitaincome (Funke and Ruhwedel, 2001)

▶ Related export variety (within sectors) predicts short run growth (OECD)(Saviotti and Frenken, 2008)

▶ Growth is related to moving to the core of sophisticated products and toexport complexity (Hidalgo and Hausmann, 2009, 2008b; Hidalgo et al.,2007; Felipe et al., 2011)

▶ But also, most economies grow successfully concentrating in a smallnumber of products (sectors) (Hausmann and Rodrik, 2003)

Structural change and economic development Examples of research questions

1. What variety? (Ciarli and Lorentz, 2011)

Qualify (and possibly quantify) the variety-growth thesis▶ How relevant is the dynamics of product innovation for growth? Is the

relation linear?

Which aspect of product innovation is more relevant?▶ firm’s capacity to explore consumer needs / sectors▶ firm’s capacity to improve the quality of goods▶ the frequency at which new products are marketed

Which role for demand: changes in consumer tastes, needs and shares?

2. Comparing sources of structural change (Ciarli, 2012)

Which aspects of structural change are more relevant (for growth)?

Do the different aspects interact? If yes to which extent?

Structural change and economic development The model (in two slides)

Modelling structural change

(Agent-based) Model of complementary changes in various aspects of thestructure of an economy (Ciarli et al., 2012, 2010)

S–1 Organisation of production [structure of labour and earningsdisparities]

S–2 Technology of production [speed of change in capital innovation, theshare of R&D, and its success]

S–3 Composition of production [exploration of new sectors, quality ofnew products, and share of R&D]

D–1 Income distribution [profits]

D–2 Consumption patterns [change in consumption shares and changesin consumer preferences]

All aspects are interrelated

Structural change and economic development The model (in two slides)

Basic setup

▶ Manufacturing firms: product technology, process technology, labourorganisation, R&D =⇒ product innovation

▶ Capital suppliers: R&D =⇒ capital vintage, labour organisation▶ Consumers: preferences, consumer classes, expenditure shares▶ Wages setting: min wage (macro), labour hierarchies, bonuses

Structural change and economic development Results

1. What variety? Summary of results

Variety as exploration of new markets/needs, and introduction of new goods,has a significant positive effect on growth

Variety in innovation result (product quality) has a negligible positive effect onOutput

Rate of convergence to expenditure shares concentrated on luxury ‘needs’ hasa negative effect on Output

▶ Demand and Supply distribute across markets ↓ firm concentration▶ ⇒ No time for development (K accumulation) of industry

Structural change and economic development Results

2. Comparing sources of structural change

Full factorial DOE: scenarios (different countries).

⇒ 210 economies starting from the same initial conditions except for one ofthe aspects of structural change: negligible structural changes VS largestructural changes in all economic aspects

The initial differences that determine growth divergence are those that definethe structure of an economy and the way in which this evolves through time

Different aspects of the structure of an economy: organisation, product,production, consumption, distribution

Interacting aspects

Structural change and economic development Results

Assessing factors of structural change

Most aspects of structural change are significant determinants of output, butmagnitude varies substantially

▶ 1. Income distribution, 2. rate of change in production technology, 3.Emergence of new sectors, 4. Organisation of production, 5. Consumptionpatterns (barely significant)

Most relevant aspects determine growth irrespective of all other aspects, if theeconomy experiences slow structural change

Most aspects strongly interact

Implications▶ Account for a number of economic aspects to understand long term patterns of

divergence▶ Micro interactions: some aspects may be more relevant for some economies

Wrapping up

Wrapping up

An economy is a complex system with many direct interactions, persistentroutinised behaviour, heterogeneity, disequilibria: we observe an emergingorder

Economic growth and development are characterised by structural changes

Currently a wealth of Agent Based models of growth: from Nelson and Winter(1982b) to Dosi et al. (2013)

A few models of development (adapted to economies facing deep structuralchange)

Page 21: 2014.05.19 - OECD-ECLAC Workshop_Session 2_Tomaso CIARLI

Wrapping up Discussion

Further contributions of the model

General-to-specific approach to (ABM) modelling▶ Simplify the model: e.g. irrelevant aspects of structural change

Focus on the most relevant aspects and investigate them in depth: e.g. differentaspects of inequality (profit shares, firms organisation, earnings)

Open up research avenues: with no assumptions on the macro behaviour, allemergent properties require an explanations

Ciarli (SPRU, Sussex) Structural change and long run growth OECD-ECLAC 20 / 22

Page 22: 2014.05.19 - OECD-ECLAC Workshop_Session 2_Tomaso CIARLI

Wrapping up Discussion

The advantages of ABM

Represent nuanced micro behaviour that depart form perfect rationality

Represent complex interactions between the agents

Analyse the macro dynamics as an emergent properties

Allow for radical uncertainty

Evolutionary dynamics▶ Adaptation▶ Lock-in at the micro and at the macro level

Page 23: 2014.05.19 - OECD-ECLAC Workshop_Session 2_Tomaso CIARLI

Wrapping up Policy implications

Quantitative scenarios

Build experimental design with policy makers: parameter spaces andcombinations

▶ For example Robust Decision Making (Lempert et al., 2003)▶ Graph visualisations showing scenarios▶ Allow the policy maker to play with parameters and assumption to

visualise different scenarios

Open up the policy options (Stirling and Scoones, 2009): outcomes depend onthe state of the word that the policy maker assumes are correct

Allowing for radical uncertainty▶ The desired outcome is only one of the possible outcomes: minor events

can have unexpected effects

Consumer behaviour .. Back

For each need, given the perceived characteristics of a goodi∗fn,m = N

(ifn,m, σ

iifn,m)

(quality and price), a consumer selects all thefirms that offer a good with equivalent values and shares the demand

i∗fn,m ≡ i∗Bn,m ⇔ |i∗fn,m − i∗B,m| < (1− υz,m) · i∗B,m

υz,m: tolerance level

The tolerance with respect to less–then–optimal quality on each characteristicdefines consumer class preferences.

From low to high income classes the tolerance towards good’s quality reduces,and price becomes relatively indifferent

Total purchases close the model: firms sales.

Large υz,m → larger preference differences across classes
