While South Africa’s growth performance has improved somewhat in recent years, it has generally been poor over the past few decades. This article uses Chenery’s factor decomposition method to analyse the sources of growth in South Africa from 1970 to 2007. Using input-output data,...

The objective of this article is to analyse structural changes which occurred in Italy in the period 1992-2000.
