Title: La 'questione meridionale' e i modelli di sviluppo export-led: una rilettura del contributo di Graziani
(The 'southern question' and export-led growth models: a reinterpretation of Graziani's (1969) model)
Abstract: The persistence of the dualism in Italy and the recent problems of economic integration in the EU
have led to a resurgence of interest in the cumulative divergence process of export-led growth models.
The historical experience shows that if left to the spontaneous actions of the market the position
of comparative economic advantage or disadvantage of a country can persist over time. In particular,
«circular and cumulative causation» effects can move a country away from the ‘harmonious development’
of an integrated area, like the EU. This paper brings together the export-led model of Graziani
(1969) with the «circular and cumulative causation» effects described in Kaldor (1970) in order to explore
the divergence process of dualistic models.
