Why Do Some Countries Produce so Much More Output Per Worker than Others
TL;DR: This paper showed that differences in physical capital and educational attainment can only partially explain the variation in output per worker, and that a large amount of variation in the level of the Solow residual across countries is driven by differences in institutions and government policies.

Why do Some Countries Produce So Much More Output Per Worker than Others
Robert E. Hall,Charles I. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: This article showed that the differences in capital accumulation, productivity, and therefore output per worker are driven by differences in institutions and government policies, which are referred to as social infrastructure and called social infrastructure as endogenous, determined historically by location and other factors captured by language.
Journal ArticleDOI
R&d-based models of economic growth
TL;DR: In this article, a modified version of the Romer model that is consistent with this evidence is proposed, but the extended model alters a key implication usually found in endogenous growth theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time Series Tests of Endogenous Growth Models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the determinants of long-run growth highlighted by a specific growth model must similarly exhibit no large persistent changes, or the persistent movement in these variables must be offsetting.
Book
