DESCRIPTION:Jeremy Foltz\, UW-Madison. African economies are increasingly s
 hifting from agriculture to services without passing through manufacturing
 . Using firm-level data from Côte d’Ivoire\, this study shows that prod
 uctive services can drive structural transformation by combining high prod
 uctivity with strong labor absorption. Service firms outperform agricultur
 e and manufacturing in productivity and account for the largest growth in 
 formal employment\, particularly among unskilled workers.\n\nCONTACT: 262-
