A vast new literature on the sources of economic growth has now
accumulated. This book critically reviews the most significant
works in this field and summarizes what is known today about the
sources of economic growth. The first part discusses the most
important theoretical models that have been used in modern growth
theory as well as methodological issues in productivity
measurement. The second part examines the long-term record on
productivity among Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) countries, considers the sources of growth among
them with particular attention to the role of education,
investigates convergence at the industry level among them, and
examines the productivity slowdown of the 1970s. The third part
looks at the sources of growth among non-OECD countries. Each
chapter emphasizes the factors that appear to be most important in
explaining growth performance.
