The Causes of Deindustrialization: a conceptual discussion

Alexandre Batista and Guilherme Grandi ()

No 2023_05, Working Papers, Department of Economics from University of São Paulo (FEA-USP)

Abstract: The paper presents the conceptual variety around the term deindustrialization. Then, based on the literature and the debate raised, it presents its causes which, in this article, include the real exchange rate, trade liberalization, the impact of Chinese trade, the services sector, labor productivity, investments, effective demand, taxes, and some extra-economic impacts. In addition to exposing our critical view on the subject, we observe that there is great heterogeneity in the concept of deindustrialization and its causes, which does not lead the debate to a consensus.
