This framework uses a neoclassical approach to study the determinants of economic structure and its evolution in a countrys economic development (Lin, 2011).

Migration and redistribution: Why the federal governance of an economic union does matter

Public Health, Elementary Education and Infrastructure Constitutes the Foundation of Future Economic Development
In the early years of the People's Republic of China, war, famine and infectious diseases made it difficult to ensure the basic health level of the people.
