| Tiivistelmä: | This article proposes a two-region two-sector model of uneven development, where technological change benefits either the lagging or the leading region. By raising wages, transfers reduce the chance of the backward region adopting a new technology and taking off and in this framework interregional transfers may lead to persistent underdevelopment. The model provides a rationale for cases where the same rich region subsidizes the same poor region on a continuous basis. |
