Transfers in a North‐South Growth Model

Author

Listed:
  • Lynn Mainwaring

Abstract

The possibility of immiserizing growth is explored in a non‐Neoclassical North‐South model having formal similarities to Goodwin's growth‐cycle model. Because of the the ‘engine‐of‐growth’ property of the Northern economy, a redistribution in favour of the South is beneficial to that region only in the short run but will harm both regions in the long run.
