The causes of growth in East Asia remain controversial despite substantial empirical research. In this paper I adopt the neoclassical growth model as the maintained hypothesis, and decompose growth into the exogenous variables of the neoclassical model. It is shown that the role of increased...

This paper develops a method for interpreting growth accounting studies in terms of the neoclassical growth model. In particular it shows that the growth accounting contribution of capital reflects the distance of the economy form its steady state income level. The method is applied to studies...

An important stylized fact of economic growth is that the rate of return to capital is relatively constant across countries and time. This paper gives an explanation for this using a model of growth in a developing economy that has dualistic structure. Three conditions are derivedm each of which...

This paper presents some Monte Carlo results on the dependence on n and T of the convergence in probability and distribution of key parameters of the modified logit model of Amemiya and Nold and the generalisation of this model to the case where the error term follows an AR(1) process. Results...
