Thirlwall’s classic paper titled ‘The balance-of-payments constraint as an explanation of international growth rate differences’ (Thirlwall 1979). This article introduced and provided empirical evidence in favor of the proposition that the long-run rate of growth of an economy compatible with balance-of-payments equilibrium can be approximated by the simple rule of the ratio of the growth of exports to the income elasticity of demand for imports. This simple proposition known as Thirlwall’s law is the dynamic analogue of the static Harrod trade multiplier result. In his book International Economics (1933), Roy Harrod had shown that the level of income equaled the level of exports divided by the propensity to import, based on the same assumptions as those of Thirlwall, that is, exports are the only component of autonomous demand, trade is balanced, and the real exchange rate (or terms of trade) does not change (Thirlwall 1997; 2018; McCombie and Thirlwall 1994). It is also similar to the model discussed by Raúl Prebisch in his American Economic Review paper (Prebisch 1959). These ideas were further developed by Nicholas Kaldor, who developed a demand-driven theory of cumulative causation, based on the supermultiplier (Kaldor 1970). Thirlwall’s contribution follows in the Keynesian and Structuralist tradition of these authors. Thirlwall’s law focuses on aggregate demand as the key constraint to economic growth. According to Thirlwall’s law, countries face an external constraint when","PeriodicalId":291845,"journal":{"name":"Thirlwall's Law at 40","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128198052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
