Financialization of Non‐Financial Corporations
Financialization shapes the ways in which middle‐income countries and their non‐financial corporations integrate into global value chains and the global financial system. This integration, in turn, shapes the ways in which these corporations engage with financialization. Focusing on large listed non‐financial corporations, this article unpacks these dynamics. It advances an integrated analytical framework to facilitate an exploration of financial…
How to overcome rent seeking in Tanzania’s skills sector? Exploring feasible reforms through discrete choice experiments
Skills development is the outcome of a complex political economy process characterised by conflicting objectives, trade-offs and mis-aligned incentives among stakeholders. • Firms have different skills needs but also different organisational capabilities, hence they respond to policy incentives differently. • Building on a multi-staged research process, we conduct three Discrete Choice Experiments with over 200 firms to test the feasibility of di…
Does regionalism increase industrial policy space? An analytical framework applied to the East African textiles and apparel sector
We introduce a multidimensional and multilevel framework for industrial policy space as the set of legally permitted, economically viable and politico-institutionally feasible policy options for industrial development, given constraints at the national, regional and global levels. This is applied to the East African Community (EAC) textiles and apparel (T&A) sector, using data from policy documents and semi-structured interviews. The EAC customs …
Upgrading through global, regional or national value chains? Firm-level evidence from the East African textiles & apparel sector
This paper introduces the concept of value chain directionality to investigate how orientation to different value chains has implications for productive learning and industrial outcomes. We develop and test this concept building on a purposefully designed firm-level survey focused on the textile and apparel value chain in East Africa. Tanzanian and Kenyan textiles and apparel firms lie on a spectrum in terms of their engagement with national, reg…

Supply-side factors influencing informal payment for healthcare services in Tanzania
Informal payments for healthcare are widespread in sub-Saharan Africa. They are often regressive, potentially limiting access to quality healthcare, particularly for the most vulnerable, and can have catastrophic consequences for households. Yet there is little empirical research that uses theory-driven hypotheses to explore what influences informal payments and, especially, from health workers’ perspectives. Consequently, we have explored the ch…
Bringing Production Back into Development
Natura Non Facit Saltus
The Missing Dimensions of the Human Capabilities Approach
Technical Change, the Shifting ‘Terrain of the Industrial’, and Digital Industrial Policy
Technical change is a major driver of structural transformation and industrial mutations within and across sectors of the economy. We show how, by deploying different concepts of sector—commodity/product, production/technology, or location-based taxonomies—we can better capture the heterogeneity of production activities, shifting sectoral boundaries, industrial mutations, sources of technical change, and non-linear patterns of structural change. …
Industrial Policy in the 21st Century
Industrial policy is back at the centre stage of policy debate, while the world is undergoing dramatic transformations. This article contributes to the debate by developing a new theory of industrial policy, incorporating some issues that have been neglected so far and taking into account the recent changes in economic reality. The authors explore how the incorporation of some of the neglected issues - commitments under uncertainty, learning in p…
Bringing production and employment back into development
Building on Alice Amsden’s legacy, the article criticises the currently dominant view of development for its neglect of production and employment. To remedy its shortcomings, the article introduces a new theoretical synthesis that sees development as a process of production transformation, led by the expansion of collective capabilities and resulting in the creation of good quality jobs and sustainable structural change. Within this new developme…
What is new in the new industrial policy? A manufacturing systems perspective
This paper explores the recent evolution of manufacturing-related policies in leading OECD economies—Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. A novel framework, the industrial policy matrix, is introduced and then used to illustrate and compare policy approaches in terms of factor inputs, intervention levels, and degrees of coordination. While approaches adopted in different countries vary, reflecting their respective contexts, …
