Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the role of various knowledge indicators (human capital, research and development, information and communication technologies and trade) in the economic growth and catch-up performance of 17 Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries and 18 Latin American countries during the 1980-2014 period, by utilizing dynamic panel data techniques. The empirical results suggest a positive impact of knowledge indicators on the economic growth performances and that there is convergence to the common long-run equilibrium, in MENA and Latin American countries.
