This affects the level,<br>peak, and shape of the deindustrialization series. Changes in the National Accounts system<br>have also caused structural breaks in time series, making it difficult to assess the effect of<br>trade opening on deindustrialization. This study created series of sectoral shares in GDP<br>from 1947 to 2019 to circumvent the financial dummy and discontinuities in the longterm<br>series. The new series is more adherent to economic cycles, captures the effect of trade<br>opening, and contests the over-industrialization thesis, allowing a better understanding of<br>the deindustrialization process.</p><p><strong>JEL Classification: E23; L16; O14.</strong></p> ER -
