Factor endowment, structural coherence, and economic growth

Factor endowment, structural coherence, and economic growth / prepared by Natasha Xingyuan Che.

This paper studies the linkage between structural coherence and economic growth. Structural coherence is defined as the degree that a country's industrial structure optimally reflects its factor endowment fundamentals. The paper found that at least for the overall capital, the shares of capital...
