Sectoral Gross Domestic Product composition: a dynamical modelling approach — •Diego Rybski, Raphael Lutz, Michael Spies, Dominik E. Reusser, and Jürgen P. Kropp — Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, 14469 Potsdam, Germany

Exploring a simple system of differential equations we characterise the transfer of GDP shares -- i.e the partitioning into agrarian, industrial, and service sectors -- between the sectors in the course of economic development. The model fits for the majority of countries providing 4 country-specific parameters. Relating the agrarian with the industrial sector, a data collapse over all countries and all years supports the applicability of our approach. Depending on the parameter ranges, country development exhibits different transfer properties. Most countries follow 3 of 8 characteristic paths. The types are not random but show distinct geographic and development patterns.
