ABSTRACT
Our thesis is that poor countries are poor because they employ arrangements for which the equilibrium
outcomes are characterized by inferior technologies being used, and being used inefficiently. In this pa-per, we analyze the consequences of one such arrangement. In each industry, the arrangement enables a
coalition of factor suppliers to be the monopoly seller of its input services to all firms using a particular
production process. We find that eliminating this monopoly arrangement could well increase output by
roughly a factor of 3 without any increase in inputs.
