Journal of Economics and Political Economy, 2017, vol. 4, issue 4, 382-395

Abstract: This paper presents a simple model to measure the relative economic growth of economic systems. The model considers S-Shaped patterns of economic growth that, represented with a linear model, measure how an economic system grows in comparison with another one. In particular, this model introduces an approach which indicates if the economic system has a process of economic growth, development or underdevelopment. The application of the model is provided for regions and macro regions of the Italian economic system.
