Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufacturing-led development has provided the traditional model for creating jobs and prosperity. But in the past three decades the conventional pattern of structural transformation has changed, with the services sector growing faster than the manufacturing sector. This raises critical questions about the ability of developing economies to close productivity gaps with advanced economies and to create good jobs for more people. At Your Service? The Promise of Services-Led Development (www.worldbank.org/services-led-development) assesses the scope of a services-driven development model and policy directions that can maximize the model’s potential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The service sector in most advanced economies accounts for up to seventy percent of employment and GDP and, given its growing importance, has received much research attention over the last two decades. However, not very much attention has been paid to the relationship between this sector and both its territorial impact and regional effects. The main objective of this book is to offer a comprehensive approach to these aspects, focusing particularly on the location factors of service industries and the importance of some specific services, such as business services and knowledge and information services. The contributions have been prepared by well-known experts in the field from a wide number of countries. The focus of all contributions is not only on theoretical aspects, but also provides empirical analyses on specific countries and topics such as the geographical concentration, globalization impacts, foreign direct investments, and innovation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the fall in overall productivity growth in the United States and other developed countries related to the rising share of the service sectors in the economy? Since services represent well over half of the U.S. gross national product, it is also important to ask whether these sectors have had a slow rate of growth, as this would act as a major drag on the productivity growth of the overall economy and on its competitive performance. In this timely volume, leading experts from government and academia argue that faulty statistics have prevented a clear understanding of these issues.

Download or read book The Growth of Service Industries written by Thijs ten Raa and published by Edward Elgar Pub. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '. . . the main benefit of the Growth of Service Industries is that it deals with one of the key issues in the modern economy. Policymakers struggle with the problematic question of whether to limit public service budgets as costs for their provision rise. Economists are perplexed by the interplay of slow service and fast goods productivity growth and wonder why the demand for services is so persistent. In that respect at least, the Growth of Service Industries is intended for use by both policymakers and economists and serves as a useful introduction to service productivity analysis.' - Frederic Jallat, International Journal of Service Industry Management 'This book includes a collection of articles that every student of the dynamics of growth of service industries in industrialized economies will want to read.' - Rene Durand, Economic Systems Research Problems arise if budgets for services are held constant whilst prices rise. Education, cultural activities and health services are under constant budgetary pressure. the authors argue that the price of commodities is linked to demand and price increases would therefore seem to threaten the very existence of these services. the paradox of these services is that in spite of their exploding costs, demand persists.
