abstract = {The paper explores the basic features of structural change towards services
for OECD countries in general and for Germany in particular. The
determinants of sectoral shifts are analytically decomposed into the demandbias
and the productivity-bias.
The demand-bias, which prevails in all OECD countries, mainly reflects the
spread of service-based new technologies and related shifts in intermediate
demand. The productivity-bias is valid for most countries, but not for
Germany, where service sector expansion concentrated on highly productive
disembodied services. This anomaly in structural change restricted the
capacity of the German service sector to absorb dismissed industrial
workers.},
