| Zusammenfassung |
| We consider the sectoral composition of a country’s GDP, i.e the partitioning into agrarian,
industrial, and service sectors. Exploring a simple system of differential equations we
characterise the transfer of GDP shares between the sectors in the course of economic
development. The model fits for the majority of countries providing 4 country-specific
parameters. Relating the agrarian with the industrial sector, a data collapse over all countries
and all years supports the applicability of our approach. Depending on the parameter ranges,
country development exhibits different transfer properties. Most countries follow 3 of 8
characteristic paths. The types are not random but show distinct geographic and development
patterns. |
