Transformation global economy: new paradigms/ reshoring / space for policies / growth
Changes in the approach to industrial policy in Europe and
the U.S.
• Manufacturing is crucial because
– It dominates trade balances
– It is the engine for growth in other sectors
– It fosters technological development: it is over-represented in R&D and
creates local spillovers
– It creates high-wage jobs (In the U.S., the new discourse emphasizes the
importance of industrial employment as a support for the middle class)
– The loss of manufacturing not only destroys jobs but also destroys
innovative advantages
– The relocation of manufacturing is accompanied by the relocation of
high value-added services.
– Not all industries are equally important: some generate more growth and
productivity gains.
Evidence of a paradigm shift in the location of industrial
production
A tendency to stop the out-shoring of some industries (particularly in the U.S.)
explained by:
•The gap in labor costs compared to China has been reduced.
•Technical change towards greater automation reduces the importance of labor costs.
•Transportation costs (energy) and logistics (time) become increasingly important.
•Increased importance of the proximity of production and design to promote R&D
•Changes in the visions of the leading business schools
Some evidence from the U.S. and the UK
•MIT's Supply Chain Forum of Innovation: 33% of firms with overseas production,
considered returning to the U.S., 15% had already made ​the decision (2012).
•Boston Consulting Group: “Made in America, Again. Why Manufacturing will Return
to the U.S.”, 2011
•UK Government Office for Science: “The future of manufacturing: A new era of
opportunity and challenge for the UK”, 2013

Brazil
You remember when most economists said that…
…industrialization should decline
…manufacturing was equal to any other economic activity
…markets were the most efficient mechanisms for allocating resources in open
economies.
Thus, in many countries, industrial policy institutions and instruments were
dismantled
Other dicta:
Growing importance of services / services as the new focus of innovation
Growing share of services in international trade
The financial sector auto-regulates and expands harmoniously
Global value chains, free trade and specialization as substitutes for industrial
policy
Innovation not contingent upon production (different localizations)
China: the only factory, today and in the future
Natural recourses as the base for innovation and growth
Sources of development and innovation
What “others”told
What evidence indicates
•Growing importance of services for
growth and innovation
Services as the new focus of innovation
•Manufacturing is (was and will be…) the
main field of innovation. E.g.
microprocessor, biotech, nanotech, etc.
•Most advanced services are technological
spin-offs of manufacturing (software,
telecoms)
•Growing importance of services in the
trade balance
•Manufactured goods dominate in
international trade
Industrial/ technological policies (1)
What “other” told
What evidence indicates
•No need for industrial policy / firms
and countries are similar
•Upgrading countries’ technological capabilities
requires industrial policies
•Global value chains, free trade and
specialization are substitutes for
industrial policy
•Growing management costs of long global value
chains (changes on the location paradigm)
•The new technological paradigms
lead to “industry maturity”
•New technologies transform all industrial
opportunities (what is mature today,
could be highly innovative tomorrow. The Vernon cycle
is static.)
•Disconnection between innovation
and production (different
localizations)
•Innovation is strongly linked to manufacturing and
other types of production (learning, geographical
proximity, tacit knowledge)
•Abundance economics (prices of new products
decrease, connectivity increases and becomes faster,
acceleration of robot capabilities)
Industrial/ technological policies (2)
What “others” told
What evidences indicate
•No re-shoring of manufacturing:
China is and will continue to be the
only factory of the world
•Countries are not firms, and can lose their
industrial capabilities/ commons
•Static view of production and technology
•New technologies are built upon existing industrial
capabilities
•Risk from global value chains management
•Re-shoring of production in advanced countries
•Natural resources are a basis for
innovation and growth
•There are few activities related to natural
resources that are sources of complementary
assets

Technological capabilities
• Require time;
• Are subject to path-dependency, i.e. the evolution of capabilities depends on previous
experience and directions of past learning;
• Complementarities between sectors and capabilities, externalities and increasing returns are
crucial for industry and the economy alike;
• Irreversibility in the building of certain physical and technological assets, which cannot be
abandoned or replaced;
• A critical tacit component that could not be obtained from importing capital goods nor from
manuals or other forms of codified information;
• Countries and firms which are closer to the technological frontier have a growing advantage in
innovation with respect to the laggards.
• Cumulative processes leading to vicious or virtuous cycles explain why some countries move to
a path where learning, production capabilities and institutions interact virtuously, while others
remain in a hysteresis state, e.g., in a low-growth (divergence) trap.
A note on the economists: “errare humanum est,
perseverare autem diabolicum”
