We investigate country heterogeneity in cross-country growth regressions. In contrast to the previous literature that focuses on low-income countries, this study also highlights growth determinants in high-income (OECD) Model Averaging (IBMA) to address not only potential parameter...

We provide an overview of recent empirical research on patterns of cross-country growth. The new empirical regularities considered differ from earlier ones, e.g., the well known Kaldor stylized facts. The new research no longer makes production function accounting a central part of the analysis....

This paper contributes to the literature on growth in Asia in several respects. I provide estimates of potential growth for 21 Asian economies using an aggregate supply model with time-varying parameters and a Kalman filtering methodology. My estimates indicate that the actual growth slowdown...

This paper empirically revisits the augmented neoclassical growth model suggested by Mankiw, Romer and Weil (1992, MRW) to answer whether this model is still an appropriate benchmark specification for investigating the relationship between long run economic growth and any particular growth...

This paper examines the impact of education on economic growth in Greece over the period 1981 – 2009 by applying the model with two sectors introduced by Lucas (1988). The findings of the empirical analysis reveal that there is no long-run relation between educational stock and output. In the...

A country's growth of output is identically equal to its ratio of investment to output and the productivity of investment. In "new" growth theory regressions, which include the investment ratio, all other included variables pick up why the productivity of investment differs between countries....

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) facilitates the growth of international production which provides an unprecedented opportunity for developing countries to achieve faster Economic Growth through foreign investments. This paper examines the causal relationship between FDI and Economic Growth in...

Economists have reported econometric results that rely on estimates of the population of every country in the world for the past two thousand or more years. The underlying source is usually McEvedy and Jones' Atlas of World Population History, published in 1978. The McEvedy and Jones data have...

We investigate country heterogeneity in cross-country growth regressions. In contrast to the previous literature that focuses on low-income countries, this study also highlights growth determinants in high-income (OECD) countries. We introduce Iterative Bayesian Model Averaging (IBMA) to address...
