Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper contributes to the debate surrounding supply-oriented and demand-oriented growth theories. By investigating the link between changes in the rate of resource utilization, the volume of imports and the growth of productivity, it aims at providing a better understanding of the mechanisms that reconcile supply and demand in the long-term. The results point to a demand determination of economic growth, with the burden of adjustment falling over the potential rate of growth. Increases in the rate of resource utilization seem to have a positive effect on productivity and no effect on the volume of imports.
