SILVA, Guilherme Jonas Costa da  and  HERMIDA, Camila do Carmo. Industry, competitiveness, external trade and growth acceleration. Inv. Econ [online]. 2018, vol.77, n.306, pp.94-124. ISSN 0185-1667.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fe.01851667p.2018.306.68003.

This paper presents a pioneering theoretical model for the acceleration of economic growth from the junction of elements of the post-Keynesian theory of long-run growth with Neo-Schumpeterian aspects. New findings are presented showing that the growth acceleration of a given country depends primarily on its international competitiveness, given the capacity for imitation and technological innovation, beyond the growth of physical production capacity of the economy and growth acceleration of world income.

Keywords : External trade; international competitiveness; growth acceleration.
