DESCRIPTION:Although the Structural Economic Dynamic approach provides a s
 imultaneous consideration of demand and supply sides of economic growth\, 
 it does not take into account the possible role played by demand in the ge
 neration of technological progress. In this paper we intend to fill this g
 ap by introducing demand and productivity regimes\, concepts from the neo-
 Kaldorian approach\, in Pasinetti’s model of economic growth and structu
 ral change. The upshot is a multi-sector model of growth and trade in whic
 h the evolution of growth rates and technological progress depends on diff
 erential rates of productivity growth in different sectors of the economy.
