Outline of Final Research Achievements

For several decades, developed countries have experienced output and employment shifts away from manufacturing towards services such as finance. These well-known shifts in industrial structure are often called "structural change", and have been widely observed in developed countries.
This research program was aimed at providing the theoretical explanations on mechanism behind "structural change." We also examined the optimal resource allocation along the course of structural change. The optimal policies that the government should implements were discussed.
