216. How could the South respond to secular stagnation in the North?

     

     Mayer, Jörg (2015)
     Discussion Paper, 8/2015

     Demand-based growth models worry that secular stagnation in advanced countries reduces developing country growth, via lower exports. Relaxing assumptions and emphasizing cumulative causation forces from domestic-demand growth and relative price effects indicates how the South can maintain growth.
