Unified Growth Theory and Comparative Development

Oded Galor

Rivista di Politica Economica, 2011, issue 2, 9-21

Abstract: Unified Growth Theory explores the fundamental factors that have contributed to the remarkable transition from stagnation to growth and examines their significance for the understanding of the contemporary growth process of developed and less developed economies. Moreover, it sheds light on the role of historical and pre-historical characteristics in the divergence of income per capita across regions of the world in the past two centuries.
