1 1 The Role of Trade in Structural Transformation Marc Teignier UNIVERSIDAD DE ALICANTE European Summer Symposium in International Macroeconomics 23 May 2012, Tarragona
2 Question Contributions Road Map Motivation Main Results High agricultural productivity growth is typically considered a necessary condition for the start of industrialization and growth. Schultz (1953); Gollin, Parente, Rogerson (2007). Goal of the paper: Can international trade in agricultural good accelerate transition process of countries with low agricultural productivity? What is the quantitative effect of trade on the structural transformation of net agricultural importers? Main idea: Under autarky, because of need to feed population: Low agricultural productivity Large agricultural sector, low aggregate productivity. Under international trade: Low agricultural productivity Food imports from abroad, faster structural transformation. 2
3 Main Contributions Question Contributions Road Map Motivation Main Results Related literature: Structural transformation in closed economy: Gollin, Parente, Rogerson (2007); Hayashi and Prescott (2008). Structural transformation in an open economy: Matsuyama (1992, 2009); Stokey (2001); Yi and Zhang (2010). Main contributions of this paper: Introduce trade into two-sector neo-classical growth model. Show model is able to replicate structural transformation data: model: United States : United Kingdom , S. Korea Related Quantitatively evaluate role of trade in the transformation of: United Kingdom, South Korea. 3

Initial agricultural employment 70% instead of 63%.

10 Description Description Analysis Two Sectors: Agricultural good (consumption). Nonagricultural good (consumption and investment). Production functions: Agricultural sector inputs: land (fixed), capital, labor. Nonagricultural sector inputs: capital, labor. Exogenous technology growth; different rates across sectors. : Low income elasticity agricultural good. Low price elasticity agricultural good. Environment: Perfect competition. Perfect input mobility. 10
11 Technology Description Description Analysis Production functions: Nonagricultural sector: Y n = A n (K n ) α (N n ) 1 α Agricultural sector: Exogenous technological change: Y a = A a (K a ) η (N a ) β (L) 1 η β Capital accumulation: Ȧ n A n γ n, Ȧ a A a γ a K = (Y n C n ) δk 11
12 Description Analysis Description : U (t) = e ρs N (s)u(c a,c n )ds t { µ0 log ( ) c u(c a,c n ) = log(c n ) + a c a B + µ 1 log(c a c a A) if c a c a if c a > c a A = µ 1 µ 0 ( c a c a ) to get differentiability at c a. B = µ 0 log ( c a c a ) µ1 log( µ1 µ 0 ( c a c a ) ) to get continuity at c a. Utility at different levels of agricultural consumption Agricultural good expenditure share ParameterValues : c a = 100 Utility level ParameterValues : c a = c a = c a = Agricultural Consumption Total consumption expenditure 12
13 Main mechanisms Description Analysis Agents optimization: Firms choose capital, labor, and land demand to maximize profits. Households choose savings, consumption, allocation of labor and capital to maximize intertemporal welfare. Market clearing: Under autarky, domestic supply = domestic demand. Under trade, imports = exports (labor, capital not mobile). Main mechanims leading to structural transformation: Technological change + capital accumulation income agricultural consumption share. Structural transformation in a closed economy: Agricultural consumption share agricultural employment share. Structural transformation in an open economy: If international price agricultural good < domestic price, trade agricultural imports, agricultural employment. 13
14 Description Analysis Equilibrium analysis If population growth not too high relative to TFP growth, η 1 α γ n + γ a (1 η β )ν > 0, economy behaves asymptotically as if homothetic preferences: u(c a,c n ) = µ 1 log(c a ) + log(c n ). Then, for any initial condition, economy converges asymptotically to the homothetic preferences Balanced Growth Path. Closed economy BGP: Positive and constant employment shares in both sectors. Constant (not necessarily equal) growth rates of all other variables. Small open economy: Specialization in agriculture if agricultural price high enough. BGP growth rates depend on sectoral composition: If growth rate agricultural price high enough, agricultural specialization. If not, non-agricultural specialization. 14

Policy implications: Important welfare gains from eliminating agricultural protection policies. Future extensions: Robustness analysis (functional forms, parameter values). Study potential benefits of agricultural trade for low-development countries. Examine relation land quality and income for closed and open economies. 30

47 Comparison subsistence levels If good a is tradable and country i imports it from country j, then E (t)p i a (t) = P j a (t) ( 1 + τ i a (t) )( 1 + d i a (t) ) where E is the exchange rate, τ the import tariff, and d the transport cost. Using this, possible to compare c a for the three countries: Comparison United States, South Korea: P us a (1990)c sk a P us a (1990)c us = a E(1990)P us a (1990) (1+τ sk a (1990))(1+da sk (1990)) c a sk P us = a (1990)c us a 1.47 (1 + d sk a (1990)) If transportation cost equal to 47%, then the two subsistence levels are equivalent.
