New patterns of economic growth in developing economies Noemi Levy-Orlik UNAM-MEXICO January, 2007
Profound changes in the dominant production model of industrialized & emerging countries. • Has LA overcome the major shortcomings of the past?
High financial gains “wrong” prices Dynamic sectors shifted to __ manufactures: high M coefficient, e.r or ↓ W (to control wages) Low л, bad quality of N and Δw < Δ л Hypothesis
II. New patterns of economic growth (productivity and salaries)
a2) Productivity in the manufacture sector5.1 High Tech Low tech
b) Wages & real exchange rate/nominal exchange rate (graph 6)
c2) Salaries and productivity (graph 9)High tech sectors Low Tech Sectors
IV. New patterns of economic growth and financial gains (exchange rate, prices, and interest rates)
a1) Productivity (1993=100) and real interest rates (graph 13)
V. Conclusions • Economic openness & external capital inflows + don’t guarantee strong & stable economic growth • Fortifying high tech-sectors don’t reduce economic dependence (M coefficient ↑ e.r. distortions)
Productivity remains low due reduced linkage with internal production • Wages trend is downwards (below 1980) and devaluation decrease real wages • Wages don’t reflect productivity gains
Labour quality is worsen although unemployment doesn’t increase • Financial gains are guaranteed by exchange rate & price stability (and ↓ W) along high financial margins.
