Structural economic dynamics is an approach that provides insights into the process of structural change, offering a synthesis between traditional supply and demand views of economic growth, with the supply side characterized by technological progress and the demand side driven by the Engel’s law. However, adequately considering structural change requires a framework for more fully accounting for the role of demand, and not leaving it as merely exogenous. With this inquiry dimensions of endogenous patterns of demand are selectively embedded in a Pasinetti multi-sector model, thus rendering structural changes endogenous. This stream of research provides a more inclusive and comprehensive panorama of the role of demand for structural change, connecting the evolving patterns of the demand with productivity growth.

Total Labour

This study considers the influence of structural change on aggregate labour productivity growth of the Russian economy. The term "structural change" refers to labour reallocation both between industries and between formal and informal segments within an industry. Using Russia KLEMS and official Rosstat data we decompose aggregate labour productivity growth into intra-industry (within) and between industry effects with four alternative methods of the shift-share analysis. All methods provide consistent results and demonstrate that total labour reallocation has been growth enhancing though the informality expansion has had a negative effect. As our study suggests, it is caused by growing variation in productivity levels across industries.
