Growth Miracles and Disappointments through the Lens of Structural Change
This talk offers a framework that integrates the insights of the literatures on convergence and on structural change to provide an interpretive history of postwar economic growth. Rodrik uses the framework to address some of the key questions and puzzles posed by experience under import-substitution, export-oriented industrialisation, the Washington Consensus, and the pre-pandemic growth booms. Rodrik also highlights key challenges for economic growth in the future.
