Chenery-Syrquin's patterns of development approach. To investigate the
background of the approach* the works of Clark and Kuznets have been reviewed
in section two. and subsequently, the mam features of the patterns approach has
been examined In section four, some statistical problems related v,ith this
approach has been pointed out.

The paper
reaches the conclusion that the patterns approach developed by Chenery and
Syrquin should be considered in any studv dealing with the structural aspects
of the development process.
