2008 Lawrence R. Klein lecture : comparative economic development ; insights from unified growth theory
Galor, Oded - 2009
This paper explores the implications of Unified Growth Theory for the origins of existing differences in income per capita across countries. The theory sheds light on three fundamental layers of comparative development. It identifies the factors that have governed the pace of the transition from...
