Globalisation and Industrial Development: Hossein Jalilian (University of Bradford) Presented at: WIDER Development Conference “Transforming Economies” Bangkok, Thailand 11-13 September 2019
Structure of presentation • Industrialisation and Development • Globalisation and industrialisation – Phases of globalization – Stylised facts – Impacts of globalization – China‘s impact on developing countries • Potential future impacts – Role of Belt and Roads Initiative (BRI)
Industrialisation and Development • Historical analysis of structural change • Importance of Manufacturing: – Engle’s Law – Externalities in manufacturing • Economies of Scale, Scope and Agglomeration • Learning by doing and learning • Backward and forward linkages – Trade and technology transfer • Demand-pull and Supply-push factors • Changes over time
Globalisation and industrialisation • Phases of globalization (Baldwin 2016) • First unbundling – Reduced cost of shipping • Second unbundling – Reduced cost of locating manufacturing production in different geographical locations • Third unbundling – Reduced cost of face-to-face communication between individuals in different part of the world » Driven by ITC

China’s impact on DCs • Increased competition for low/medium tech products Selected indicators of China's economy (Lin 2011) China's output as % of world output 1979 1.8 2010 9.3 China's global export, 1979-2009 Growth per year over the period 16% Share of world export in 2009 26% China's share of manufactured export in total export in 2009 Machinery and transport equipment 47.3% Miscellaneous manufactured 26.8%
Cont…. – Terms of trade deterioration • Exit of some DC’s from selected sectors • Increased cost of inputs – Benefitting some DCs • Relocation of FDI – Away from some and into China • Impacts:

Potential future impacts • Change in China’s development policy – Innovative, inclusive and sustainable growth • Shift into advance manufacturing • Environmental concerns • Increased wages – Differences between provinces • Increased outbound investment – Belt and Road Initiatives (BRI) • Implications – Increased market opportunities for others – Relocation of some GVC away from China
Role of BRI • Infrastructure development in some DCs – Presenting opportunities and threats for industrial development – Reduced transportation cost • Increased incentive to export – Increasing local competition for manufactures • Opportunities for some DCs to join GVC – If complementary factors are present
