Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-9521-4156 Structural components of income growth: an application to the evolution of the Spanish economy, 1980–2014 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This paper analyses the structural and technical changes in Spain since the 1980s, using annual input–output tables. Specifically, a differential structural decomposition analysis (SDA) is applied to shifts in value-added, revealing eight different components and allowing the estimation of the impacts of technical change on the process of economic transformation on a sector-by-sector basis. We conclude that growth in the Spanish economy in recent decades was a mix of technological modernization and general economic expansion, although with some heterogeneity among sectors over time. High-technology services played a key role in modernization in the late 1980s and 1990s. In fact, the growth of High-technology, Medium-high-technology, Energy and Construction sectors accelerated through the 2008 crisis. Labour compensation and returns from capital followed different trends both during expansions and recessions, intensifying income inequality in Spain. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCINN/PID2019-106822RB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.es 2.081 2021 ECONOMICS 190 / 381 = 0.499 2021 Q2 T2 0.916 2021 Economics and Econometrics 2021 Q2 4.0 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Duarte, R.
