Regional growth theories and the measurement of regional structural change

This dissertation focuses on the measurement of structure and structural change in regional economies. Alternative methods are derived and tested, in order to observe the pattern of structural change over time, at both regional and intercountry settings, since further progress in regional growth theory will have to follow from inductive verification of the stylized facts of regional structural change. But these stylized facts should be provided by a taxonomy of economies. And to develop this taxonomy, adequate methods are needed to extract the dominant features of the economies to employ in the classificatory work of the taxonomy.
