Sequential path of development
Theory proposes three stages:
Primary SecondaryTertiary

Export Base Theory
Regional growth is dependent on the
export base
“Exportable Commodities”

Staple Theory of Economic Growth
Staple theory explains economic growth as a process of diversification around the base
Central concept, examines the spread effects of the export sector

Staple Theory
Impact of export activity on the domestic economy and society
The construction of a staple theory involves classifying the spread effects

Staple Theory: Linkages
Backward Linkages: a measure of the extent that a sector’s output depends on inputs purchased from other sectors in the region.
Forward Linkages: a measure of the extent that a sector’s output is sold as inputs to other sectors of the region

Staple Theory: Linkages
Final Demand Linkage: amount that investment in domestic sectors is producing consumer goods for the export sector
Linkages have a multiplier effect

Staple Theory: Leakages
Leakages measure income flows leaving a region
Examples include migratory labour and servicing capital imports

The Staple Trap
over-concentration of resources devoted to the export sector

Big Push Theory
development requires a series of projects
Complementarity of industries

Location Theory
Regions best suited to industrialization are predisposed to higher rates of growth and development
Location location location!

Attraction Models
Community can alter its position by offering incentives and subsidies

Convergence Theory
Underdevelopment is a consequence of increasing divergence and unresponsiveness of domestic production to respond to the needs of the local population

Two stage strategy of convergence
Convergence of domestic resource use and domestic demand
Convergence of domestic demand and domestic need
