Abstract
This paper surveys the experience of economic growth in the 20th century with a
focus on technological change at the frontier together with issues related to
success and failure in catch-up growth. A detailed account of growth
performance based on historical national accounts data is given and is
accompanied by a review of growth accounting evidence on the sources of
economic growth. The key features of our analysis of divergence in growth
outcomes are an emphasis on the importance of ‘directed’ technical change, of
institutional quality, and of geography. We provide brief case studies of the
experience of individual countries to illustrate these points.
