Immiserizing growth occurs in real-world international trade economies
Empirical and theoretical evidence confirms that immiserizing growth occurs in real-world economies, with studies documenting that economic growth occasionally fails to generate poverty reduction or can even worsen welfare.
The retrieved literature specifically contains a dedicated book and introduction focusing on immiserizing growth (IG) in real-world economies, noting it occurs in roughly 10% to 35% of observed cases. The remaining papers discuss international trade, resource management, and economic growth dynamics without addressing or refuting the core claim about immiserizing growth. Therefore, the claim is supported.
