Riassunto analitico
The paper aims to explore the complex link between the core-periphery relationship and the pattern
of deindustrialization. Focusing on core and peripheral regions well-established in the literature, such
as the United States and Latin America, I first characterize them in terms of their productive structure,
in line with the structuralist tradition (Prebisch, 1981). From this perspective, the core is the locus of
innovative activities, such that its productive matrix shows an important weight of innovative sectors –
here identified through the Pavitt (1984) taxonomy.
Secondly, I investigate whether the core and peripheral positions are related to different patterns
of structural change, namely deindustrialization and premature deindustrialization (Palma, 2019;
Tregenna, 2016). This is done by decomposing the deindustrialization patterns by Pavitt classes. The paper suggests that deindustrialization in the core consists of a shift towards more innovative sectors which are less
labour-intensive (e.g. science-based), while in the periphery deindustrialization corresponds to a decline of labour-intensive low-innovative sectors (e.g. supplier dominated).
Last, a preliminary attempt to relate the varieties of deindustrialization to growth is done, building a bridge between
the deindustrialization and middle-income trap (Paus, 2017) literature.
