      abstract = {When economic growth is characterised by a slow rise in  the demand for food
and rapid growth in farm relative to  non-farm productivity, it is understandable
that  agriculture in a closed economy declines in relative terms  as that economy
develops. But why should agriculture  decline in virtually all open growing economies
as well,  including those able to retain a comparative advantage in  agricultural
products? A key part of the answer is that the  demand for non-tradable
goods . tends to be inc.o me  elastic, so resources are diverted to their production
even  m open economies.},
