Abstract

In this paper we introduce Thirlwall’s Law in the Pasinetti’s model of Structural Change in order to study uneven development when technological progress is taken into account. The main result of the Thirlwall’s analysis is verified here, that is, the growth rate of per capita income of a country depends on the growth rate of its exports. When technical progress is considered this result is still valid but the sectoral rates of technical progress may affect the growth rate of per capita income.
