Structural change in developing countries – ETD project workshop part 3
Thu, 26 January 2023
On 26 January 2023, commissioned research from the Economic Transformation Database (ETD) project is presented at the third and final workshop. The research aims to improve our understanding of structural transformation —how it varies, why it varies, and what the implications of this might be— and to offer new frameworks that provide insight into how to address it. That will generate precious insights on how developing economies, in particular low-income ones, can achieve sustainable, inclusive development.
