abstract = {Differences in key features of the development process across rich and poor countries can provide clues to the sources of the large variation of cross-country income. Kuznets included structural transformation as one of six stylized facts of economic development,  nding that developed countries all followed the same process. In this paper, I compare structural transformation processes in developed and developing countries. I  nd that developing countries follow distinct structural transformation paths that deviate from that followed by developed countries. A puzzling  nding is the presence of substantial sectoral changes during times of economic stagnation or decline.},
