| Тойм: | A largely unexplored feature of structural transformation is the shifting composition of assets, corresponding to the changing sectoral composition of output. As economies develop, there is a tendency for wealth to shift from land – normally the most important form of wealth in poor agrarian economies – to a wider range of assets, including housing, financial assets and business assets.
