| Abstract: | The manufacturing sector is often the darling of policy makers in less developed countries (LDCs). It is viewed as the leading edge of modernization and skilled job creation as well as a fundamental source of various positive spillovers. Accordingly, although many LDCs have scaled back trade barriers over the past twenty years, the industrial sector remains relatively protected in the typical country. At the same time, many observers believe that the maze of business regulations is unusually dense and unpredictable in LDCs. |
