Sources of growth and productivity in Europe and Latin America

The nine studies that compose this monograph analyze the experiences of growth in different Latin American and European countries from an international comparative perspective. The book contains theoretically-based empirical research applying the most advanced growth accounting. Most of the studies look at extensive periods of time and are supported by up-to-date information which has provided substantial improvements to the data on factor endowments and quality changes, thus allowing new international comparisons that substantially enrich the analyses.
