STEG theme workshop: Theme 0

This workshop focused on how improved data or economic measurement can help shed a light on the process of structural transformation and its link to economic growth. There was a particular interest in understanding the challenges for low-income countries. We welcomed papers that introduced new data or measurement approaches in this context. Specific topics and approaches of interest included efforts to quantify:

• The process of structural transformation
• The role of resource (mis)allocation
• Domestic or international trade costs
• Technology adoption and productivity
• Home production and structural change
