It proposes that the contribution of manufacturing to aggregate productivity remains high, but lower than that of the service sector, that within manufacturing the growth pattern of technology-intensive branches is more oriented towards productivity, and that the growth pattern of manufacturing will tend to be increasingly oriented towards productivity since demand growth is higher in the more technology-intensive branches.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.strueco.2018.03.003restricted access338.3(4-672UE)L60O40O52IndustryLabour productivityEconomic growthBaumolEuropean UnionPaíses miembros de la Unión Europea (Unión Europea)Desarrollo económicoEstructura económica5307.03 Modelos y Teorías del desarrollo Económico5307.04 Estudios del desarrollo Económico
