Abstract: This study re-estimates dynamic efficiency based on the AMSZ (1989) criterion by exploiting the largest dataset assembled to date. It reveals that major economies conform to a similar "U-shaped curve" in their evolution of capital accumulation; that is, a period of decreasing efficiency followed by one of increasing efficiency. It also indicates that nations are not necessarily dynamically efficient if statistical bias is considered. As a prime example, China today is unquestionably in a serious state of dynamic inefficiency. The study discusses the theoretical limitations of AMSZ (1989), and calls for new breakthroughs in efficiency criteria.
