Three observations … standard multisector growth model accommodating these features to show that inefficient intermediate production strongly … depresses aggregate productivity and increases the price ratio of final goods to services.

Recent work suggests that these calculations should treat workers of different skill levels as … imperfect substitutes. However, under this approach, it has been challenging to compute skill-specific productivity levels for a …

In this work the author updates the reviews on endogenous growth theories in order to explore whether recent empirical … studies have become more supportive of their main predictions. Among the core topics studied in the growth econometric … framework, namely convergence, identification of growth determinants and factors responsible for growth differences in the data …
