In many less developed countries, industrialization begins when                 a leading sector such as agriculture or commodity exports generates             income that enlarges domestic markets for manufactured goods.  As               domestic markets grow, industries that could not break even in smaller          markets become profitable.  One of the critical determinants of market          size that can affect the success of industrialization is the                    distribution of income.  If profits from an export or agricultural boom         are too unequally distributed, they will be spent on domestic or                imported luxuries, rather than on domestic, industrialized goods.  The          effect of income distribution on market size can help explain the               success and failure of industrialization in several historical                  episodes.  It can also shed light on the effects of industrialization           on the distribution of income and export promotion.                                                                                                             The purpose of this project is to explore theoretically the                     determinants of market size for manufacturing goods in an under                 developed country and to relate market size to the extent of                    industrialization.  Of particular interest is the effects of the                composition of consumer demand on the possibility of viable                     industrialization.  Attention will also be paid to the question                 of whether industrialization, itself, can generate enough income                and, therefore, demand for industrial goods so that manufacturing               firms can enjoy increasing returns to scale and enhanced profitability.
