Is it correct to do this ?
Is it correct to write a sentence as follows ?
ex. The stock market grows from an emerging one to (a) developed (one).
Both "a" and "one" in the end were spared with only the adjective left. I made up this sentence because I saw a pretty similar structure but was unsure if they're related, such that "The situation goes from bad to worse.", where "to" also trails an adjective, though I felt a pretty scant chance the presumed sentence may stand well. I know I may probably rewrite with sentence as "from emerging to developed", but if noun must be taken instead of adjective, is there a way to avoid the double "one" situation in the example ?

Thanks, that helps indeed ! But is there a grammar on the "market" behind emerging omitted ? I know it's natural in daily usage as repetition of words is always eye-soring, but anything more solid ? Or maybe at least a rule on which repeated words should be taken away?
