Decentralization, social capital and regional convergence
Mauro, Luciano; Pigliaru, Francesco - 2013
By studying the interaction between social capital and decentralization, we show that political decentralization can be a source of divergence across heterogeneous regions. In particular, we claim that since the local endowments of social capital display their effect on the economy mainly...

As for the first issue, our aim is to assess whether the convergence observed across European … regions is due to convergence in technology as well as to convergence in capital-labour ratios.

Knowledge and growth in the very long run
Strulik, Holger - 2012
This paper proposes a theory for the gradual evolution of knowledge diffusion and growth over the very long run. A feedback mechanism between capital accumulation and the ease of knowledge diffusion explains a long epoch of (quasi-) stasis and an epoch of high growth linked by a gradual economic...

Degrees of development: how geographic latitude sets the pace of industrialization and demographic change
Strulik, Holger - 2008
Successful economic development is usually characterized by two salient phenomena: industrialization and demographic transition. Chronologically both events happen so closely to each other that historians and economists alike suspect that they are interrelated. This paper develops a theory for...

The simplest unified growth theory
Strulik, Holger; Weisdorf, Jacob - 2007
This paper provides a uni?ed growth theory, i.e. a model that explains the very long-run economic and demographic development path of industrialized economies, stretching from the pre-industrial era to present-day and beyond. Making strict use of Malthus’ (1798) so-called preventive check...
