This paper introduces an innovative
methodology that combines industry level information
(exports, HA 4-digits) with indicators at the country level,
to analyze which social capabilities are important to
explain the observed patterns of structural transformation.
The authors consider several indicators to characterize
three dimensions: cultural, governance, and economic, plus
only one indicator (polity) for a political dimension.
Through the use of the product space, a measure of density
that identifies the proximity of non-developed products to
the countries’ export profile, and a system of coupled
networks where densities are adjusted in terms of social
affinities, the authors find the following main results: (i)
countries can be competitive in certain industries even if
they do not have a high value in some of these indicators;
(ii) the governance dimension is closely related on how the
countries’ export profiles are positioned in the product
space; and (iii) all of these dimensions, but not all the
indicators, help explain the observed process of structural
transformation and the widening of the gap between poor and
rich countries. |
