University Vice Provost and Professor, Department of Economics
Professor, Department of Economics
Reviews the lessons economists have learned from investigating growth experiences and income gaps across countries. A country or a region can grow in two ways: it can either catch up with the leading economies or it can be a leading economy itself. The first paradigm applies to many developing countries, whereas the second concept applies to U.S. states or regions.
