The Changing Composition of Developing Country Exports

Chapter 2 in The World Economic Order, 1981, pp 82-120 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The role of exports from developing countries has been at the centre of postwar discussions of the world economic order. Until the mid-1960s the developing countries (LDCs) had a steadily declining share of world exports, and manufactured goods provided only about 10 per cent of their export earnings. Slow export growth was correctly perceived as a major obstacle to accelerated development.
