I In some parts of the world (Africa), urbanization without industrialization. Where do these cities come from? What we do: 1. Motivating evidence on urbanization w/o industrialization. 2. Structural transformation model where resource exports drive urbanization: Surplus income → consumption cities, with mostly non-tradable services. 3. Implications of this type of urbanization on long-run growth.

Drive urbanization. 2. Give rise to a “different” type of urbanization (sectoral composition), which may have implications for long-run growth. I Empirical analysis using a sample of 119 developing countries: 1. Additional motivating evidence at the continental level. 2. Cross-sectional multivariate analysis (not intended to show causation).

Douglas Gollin (Oxford) Urbanization with and without Industrialization Introduction Evidence Model Implications Conclusion Intro Outline I Additional motivating evidence I Conceptual Framework I Implications for Growth I Conclusion Douglas Gollin (Oxford) Urbanization with and without Industrialization Introduction Evidence Model Implications Conclusion Intro Conceptual Framework (Model in the paper) I Structural transformation: decline in agriculture, rise of manufacturing (and/or tradable services). I Standard models of structural change: I Labor push: a rise in food productivity (green revolution) increases food availability and release labor for the modern sector. I Labor pull: a rise in mfg productivity (industrial revolution) attracts underemployed labor from agri. into the modern sector. I Trade: comparative advantage in mfg (tradable services) → mfg X and food M → acceleration of structural change. I Production cities: trade → mfg exporting cities that arise because of a specialization effect (in urban-based sectors). I Urbanization without green revolution and industrial revolution? Douglas Gollin (Oxford) Urbanization with and without Industrialization Introduction Evidence Model Implications Conclusion Intro Conceptual Framework (Model in the paper) I Resource production does not contribute to urban growth: I I I Mineral production capital-intensive (e.g, oil 60% of GDP in Angola, only employs 10,000 nationals) Cash crops produced in fields (rural employment) Model with four sectors: food, urban tradables (tradable mfg, serv), urban non-tradables (non-tradable mfg, serv), resources Douglas Gollin (Oxford) Urbanization with and without Industrialization Introduction Evidence Model Implications Conclusion Intro Conceptual Framework (Model in the paper) I Resource production does not contribute to urban growth: I I I I Resource production has consumption linkages: I I I I I Mineral production capital-intensive (e.g, oil 60% of GDP in Angola, only employs 10,000 nationals) Cash crops produced in fields (rural employment) Model with four sectors: food, urban tradables (tradable mfg, serv), urban non-tradables (non-tradable mfg, serv), resources Massive surplus generated for producing countries (10x more than aid and remittances) Relaxes the food constraint through food imports Surplus income spent on urban goods and services (labor pull) Urbanization through the rise of consumption cities Urban tradables and/or urban non-tradables? Douglas Gollin (Oxford) Urbanization with and without Industrialization Introduction Evidence Model Implications Conclusion Intro Conceptual Framework (Model in the paper) I A subsistence economy urbanize without industrializing (unlike the Dutch Disease model of deindustrialization). I Stronger effects for mining/fuels vs cash crops. I If no resource sector, the country industrialize and urbanize through the rise of production cities. I Extension: Non-homothetic preferences accelerate urbanization if the distribution of the rent is unequal. I Extension: Government taxation accelerates urbanization (gvt’s Engel curve: civil servants, gvt region: primacy). I Extension: No capital accumulation in the model. Consumption cities cannot evolve into production cities.

I In the model, the resource rich countries: I urbanize because they are wealthier, I import more food and tradables, I their consumption cities have mostly non-tradable workers. I The numerical simulations match the patterns found in the data. I For example, cities in resource rich countries associated with less employment in urban tradables?

Douglas Gollin (Oxford) Urbanization with and without Industrialization Introduction Evidence Model Implications Conclusion Other Stylized Facts Discussion Discussion: Implications for Growth? I Literature on production cities: structural change → cities with tradable workers → agglomeration economies → growth. I Consumption cities → cities with non-tradable workers → second best type of urbanization (welfare-increasing). I Productivity growth is slower in services, while unconditional convergence in manufacturing. I Potential mechanisms? (i) lack of competition in non-tradable sectors (no global competitors), (ii) incentives for human K accumulation, (iii) agglomeration economies, (iv) reforms (urban middle-class vs. urban elite). I In the long run, consumption cities could evolve into production cities. Constraints? Trade, institutions? Douglas Gollin (Oxford) Urbanization with and without Industrialization Introduction Evidence Model Implications Conclusion Conclusion Outline I Additional motivating evidence I Conceptual Framework I Implications for Growth I Conclusion Douglas Gollin (Oxford) Urbanization with and without Industrialization Introduction Evidence Model Implications Conclusion Conclusion Conclusion I Most developing countries have experienced urbanization with industrialization (e.g, Asia, LAC). Urbanization in production cities (tradable and non-tradable workers). I Most resource rich countries have experienced urbanization without industrialization (e.g., Africa, MENA). Urbanization in consumption cities (mostly non-tradable services). I This may have implications for long-run growth. I Research agenda: I Panel data analysis for 119 countries in 1960-2000. I Can consumption cities evolve into production cities? Yes: US, Dubai, South Africa, etc. Constraints? Trade, institutions? Douglas Gollin (Oxford) Urbanization with and without Industrialization
