1 Economic Diversification in Low Income Countries (LICs): Stylized Facts and Macroeconomic Implications Chris Papageorgiou Nikola Spatafora Second Annual IMF/WB/WTO Joint Trade Workshop Geneva, Switzerland June 5-6, 2013
2 Motivation LICs have historically been heavily dependent on a narrow range of traditional primary products and on few export markets. While diversification has been a longstanding ambition for many LICs, we have limited experience of what aspects of diversification are important. Many developing economies have managed to diversify and transform their economies especially over the past two decades. But there remain significant differences across countries. What are the facts? What does diversification involve? Inform the policy debate on diversification and transformation.
3 Overview Motivation Diversification, growth and volatility Cross-country growth relationship Diversification episodes and volatility Stylized Facts Cross-country patterns: Link between diversification, and GDP or time Trade diversification indices across products and partners Quality upgrading Country case studies Ongoing Work & Preliminary Messages Messages Workring papers

12 Quality Upgrading Economic development is underpinned not just by new products and markets, but also by quality improvements to existing products. Ongoing work develops a toolkit to answer: What is an economy s export quality and how has it changed over time? What is its present potential for quality upgrading? How large is the need for diversification? Quality estimates improve on unit values, which can be imperfect quality proxies. Estimated quality measures smooth volatility and dispersion inherent in unit values.
13 The Toolkit Broadest set of quality estimates to date, covering 178 countries during More than 21 million quality estimates at importer-exporter-year-product-unit of measurement level. Toolkit will be made publicly available and contains exporter country totals and 3 different breakdowns: SITC 4, 3, 2, 1 digit Over 1.5 million quality estimates available at the SITC 4-digit level (after aggregating over importers and units of measurement) BEC 3, 2, 1 digit BEC1: Useful breakdown into intermediate products, capital goods, and consumer goods BEC2: Distinguishes, for instance, between (i) primary vs. processed varieties; and (ii) consumer durables vs. non-durables. 3 broad custom categories Manufactures, Agriculture, and Non-Agricultural Commodities
14 0 90th percentile = Stylized Facts: Quality Upgrading Quality upgrading is a crucial component of development, particularly when trying to move to upper middle-income status Some LICs need diversification, others need quality upgrading. Quality across all Exports Exporter GDP per capita (2000 constant Dollars) HIC LIC MIC Lowess Fit
15 th percentile = Stylized Facts: Quality Upgrading Manufacturing and Agriculture There seems to be potential to also quality upgrade in agriculture, though it may be more constrained by soil and climate conditions. Quality in Manufacturing Exports Quality in Agricultural Exports Exporter GDP per capita (2000 constant Dollars) Exporter GDP per capita (2000 constant Dollars) HIC LIC MIC Lowess Fit HIC LIC MIC Lowess Fit
16 Quality (90th percentile = 1) Stylized Facts: Quality Upgrading Asia: considerable cross-country heterogeneity Some countries have converged or are continuing to converge to the world frontier. In other countries, convergence seem to have slowed since the mid- 1990s Fast-convergence countries 1.1 Slow-convergence countries Japan Korea China Vietnam Malaysia Thailand 0.5 India India Indonesia 0.4 Bangladesh
17 Stylized Facts: Quality Upgrading Africa: considerable cross-country heterogeneity Quality (90th percentile = 1) In Africa, some countries show promisse. Other countries export quality has continued to stagnate. Fast-convergence countries Slow-convergence countries Year Year Nigeria Uganda Egypt Tanzania South Africa Senegal Morocco Cote d'ivoire Kenya Ghana Cameroon
18 Potential for Quality Upgrading Destination markets are no constraint for LICs Quality demanded in destination markets is not an apparent constraint. Policy should focus instead on creating conditions broadly favorable to quality upgrading High income exporters Upper middle income exporters Lower middle income exporters Low income exporters Export quality relative to destination markets in 2009 (World Frontier=1) Average quality demanded in destination markets Quality exported in Asia Average of countries for which convergence seemingly stalled: in Africa
19 Quality Upgrading and Growth Countries experiencing faster quality convergence since 1995 also experienced faster growth in GDP per capita Additional per capita growth in fast quality convergers relative to slow convergers (percentage points) Before LICs and Lower Middle Income (incl. China) LICs and Lower Middle Income (excl. China) African LICs only
20 Drivers Diversification and quality are driven by deep, underlying determinants, including: Institutions Labor and product market rigidities Public infrastructure, and investment efficiency Education (human capital) Financial development
21 Case Studies Tanzania Bangladesh Vietnam Malaysia
22 Tanzania Tanzania showcases successful LIC diversifier Exports grew rapidly Agriculture was crowded out by gold and manufacturing Trade geography also changed EU s share declined, giving way to Switzerland and China (reflecting gold) and regional trade 35 Exports of Goods and Services (percent of GDP) Other Tourism Manufaturing Minerals Traditional exports 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% Geographic Distribution of Exports 5 0% 0 China India South Africa EAC EU Switzerland Other
23 Tanzania Output concentration decreased, reflecting diversification away from agriculture to manufacturing, construction, trade, and communications.
24 Potential for Both Quality Upgrading and Horizontal Diversification Tanzania Given its concentration in agricultural products & crude materials, Tanzania has potential for horizontal diversification but also quality upgrading in agriculture
25 Case Studies: Some Takeaways Successful diversification typically underpinned by reforms that are general in scope, rather than industry-focused and narrowly targeted. Necessary reforms come in waves of interrelated measures, and depend on political economy considerations and external conditions.
26 Conclusions Diversification closely linked with structural transformation, and an important element of the development process in developing economies. Development strategies must promote sustained resource reallocation, and encourage continued quality upgrading. Key issues: What goods are produced and exported, and of what quality? What are the specific bottlenecks to structural transformation in given countries? Why are some countries much more successful? Are the policies needed to promote initial diversification different from those required to then sustain quality upgrading?

29 Quality Upgrading: Method Quality estimates improve on unit values, which can be imperfect quality proxies if: Significant cross-country differences in production costs Selection bias in quality composition ( Shipping the good apples out effect) Estimated quality measures smooth volatility and dispersion inherent in unit values.
