Short Abstract:

Traditionally, industrial development, and particularly manufacturing sector development, was seen as a way of generating sustainable long term growth in developing countries. The panel invites papers that theoretically and/or empirically deals broadly with the topic of this panel.

Long Abstract:

Given the characteristics of the industrial sector of the economy in terms of its linkages, backward and forward, together with favourable income elasticities associates with it, industrial sector development has been seen as a way of generating a long term, sustainable growth within developing economies. Recent research in this area however, somewhat questioning this strategy as a way of sustainable and equitable growth, argues that for countries to move forward, they should pay more attention to the type and nature of industrial development. It is argued that in the context of globalisation in particular, benefits from industrial development are not expected to be as much as it was in the past, and is unlikely to be equitable if not accompanied by policies to mitigate the negative outcomes that may arise from it.

The panel would welcome papers that broadly deal with the above topic. Any theoretical and/or empirical paper in this and related areas would be most welcomed.
