The State as a Unit in Study of Economic Growth*
Simon Kuznets
The Journal of Economic History, 1951, vol. 11, issue 1, 25-41
Abstract:
Empirical study of a process of change requires a definition of characteristics of change to be measured, and of units for which the measurable characteristics are to be observed. The choice of characteristics was discussed in “Measurement of Economic Growth,” and in that discussion the state was assumed to be the unit of observation. The purpose here is to explore the implications of that assumption, thus in a sense providing a lengthy footnote to the earlier paper.
