This study compares the sources of growth in East Asia with the rest of the world, using a methodology that allows one to decompose total factor productivity (TFP) growth into technical efficiency changes (catching up) and technological progress. It applies a varying coefficients frontier...

The standard evolutionary explanation for depression is that being emotionally depressed is adaptive. We argue that being depressed is not adaptive (indeed, quite the opposite), but that the threat of depression for bad outcomes and the promise of pleasure for good outcomes are adaptive because...

Sources of growth in East Asia have been a controversial subject in the literature. This necessitates more empirical studies to see whether there is more convergence to a particular view of the sources of growth. This study provides a comprehensive examination of sources of growth that allows...
