Abstract: | Cross-country evidence shows that a subset of developing countries isgrowing very rapidly, taking advantage of opportunities to ``catch-up'' atthe same time that other developing countries are growing slowly. We arguethat this is due to differences in the quality of governance. Inparticular we show that productivity growth is higher in better-governedcountries. |
