The empirical regularity observed by Thirlwall (1979) that for many countries the rate of growth of output, ''g<sub>Y</sub>'', is approximated by the rate of growth of exports, ''g<sub>X</sub>'', divided by the country's elasticity of demand for imports, ''η<sub>M</sub>'': ''g<sub>Y</sub> = g<sub>X</sub>/η<sub>M</sub>''. 2. Equivalently, letting export growth be driven by foreign income growth, ''g<sub>Y*</sub>'', and the elasticity of (foreign) demand for exports, ''η<sub>X</sub>'', this equates the ratio of foreign and domestic growth rates to the ratio of the trade elasticities: ''g<sub>Y</sub>/g<sub>Y*</sub> = η<sub>X</sub>/η<sub>M</sub>''. The latter was dubbed by Krugman (1989) the "45-degree rule. "
