Presented in this volume is a collection of papers on economic growth and its explanations. Part I covers the central issues in the growth accounting tradition. It looks at the contribution of production factors to economic growth, such as capital, education and technical change, and at ultimate causes of growth, such as institutions, historical events and developments or characteristics of the international economic and political order. The papers in Part II deal with country studies of economic growth, presenting the results of recent empirical work and analysing its impact on the interpretation of economic development in these countries. Part III deals with international comparisons of levels of economic performance and real income, and the final section is devoted to economic policy and its effects on growth performance. Different perspectives on economic policy are discussed - Liberal, Keynesian, Marxist and Developmentalist, and the contribution of policy to economic growth or stagnation is assessed. The book is dedicated to Angus Maddison and covers areas which have been central to his work on economic growth.

It gives me great pleasure to review this important book. I recommend it highly to any physicist with an interest or curiosity about this economy thing within which we operate. . . There is no excuse not to get this invaluable volume onto your bookshelf. Simon Roberts, Institute of Physics Energy Group This book addresses a very important topic, namely economic growth analysis from the angle of energy and material flows. The treatment is well balanced in terms of research and interpretation of the broader literature. The book not only contains a variety of empirical indicators, statistical analyses and insights, but also offers an unusually complete and pluralistic view on theorizing about economic growth and technological change. This results in a number of refreshing perspectives on known ideas and literatures. The text is so attractively written that I found it very difficult to stop reading. All in all, this is a very original and important contribution to the everlasting debate on growth versus environment. Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh, University of Barcelona, Spain and Free University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Would you want your great-grandchildren in 2100AD to have a 22nd-century industrial economy? If so, read this book to grasp how strongly wealth depends on energy and its efficient use. Start treating fossil energy not as continuing income, but as one-time energy capital to spend on efficiency and long-term sustainable energy production. Otherwise, your descendants will inherit a broken 20th-century economy that only worked with cheap fossil fuels. They will not be rich and they will wonder what their ancestors were thinking. John R. Mashey, PhD, former Chief Scientist, Silicon Graphics Current economic theory attributes most income growth to technical progress. However, since technical progress can neither be defined nor measured, no one really knows what policies will encourage income growth. Ayres and Warr show that access to useful work, which can be defined and measured, explain the bulk of post-1900 income changes in Japan, Britain and the USA. They see rising real prices for fossil fuel and stagnating efficiencies of converting raw energy into useful work as a threat to continued income growth. This brilliant and original work has profound policy implications for future income growth without significant improvements in energy conversion efficiency. Thomas Casten, Chairman, Recycled Energy Development LLC Following the up-and-down energy shock of 2008, Ayres and Warr offer a unique analysis critical to our economic future. They argue that useful work produced by energy and energy services is far more important to overall GDP growth than conventional economic theory assumes. Their new theory, based on extensive empirical and theoretical analysis, has important implications for economists, businessmen and policymakers for anybody concerned with our economic future. Ayres and Warr argue persuasively that economic growth is not only endogenous but has been driven for the past two centuries largely by the declining effective cost of energy. If their new theory is correct, the inevitable future rise of the real cost of energy (beyond the $147 oil price peak in July 2008), could halt economic growth in the US and other advanced countries unless we dramatically improve energy with technology. J. Paul Horne, independent international market economist The historic link between output (GDP) growth and employment has weakened. Since there is no quantitively verifiable economic theory to explain past growth, this unique book explores the fundamental relationship between thermodynamics (physical work) and economics. The authors take a realistic approach to explaining the relationship between technological progress, thermodynamic efficiency and economic growth. Their findings are a step toward the integration of neo-classical and evolutionary perspectives on endogenous economic growth, concluding in a fundam

The Economic Theory of Developing Countries' Rise examines the great economic development achievements of China within such a short period of time, which have surprised the world and have also raised other developing countries' hopes for catching up with developed countries. Featuring traditional political economics and Chinese characteristics of socialism, this book is about the economics of developing countries' rise, based on the case of China and focuses on catching-up economic growth theory. Thus, the book is of interest to those who wish to know more about theories, practices, policies and causes of China's economic success. The original Chinese version has been a very influential and well-sold book written on economics in China, and has received numerous awards and accolades since it was first published in 1995. This English version is the translation of the sixth edition in Chinese, published in December 2005. Most recently, in August 2009, the Chinese book was selected and enrolled in the honorable book series - 100 Economist and their notable works impacting China's Economic Construction over the last 60 years.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2007 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, grade: 1,0, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg (Institut für Volkswirtschaftslehre und Statistik), language: English, abstract: Im Kontext der zunehmenden Verflechtung von Volkswirtschaften können Außenhandel und Kapitalströme von besonderer Bedeutung sein, wenn die Wirtschaftswachstumsperspektiven der Länder in Betracht gezogen werden. Diese Aussage findet ihre Bestätigung in entgegengesetzten Wachstumsentwicklungen der baltischen und zentralasiatischen Transformationsökonomien, welche seit den frühen 1990er Jahren bedeutsame Änderungen hinsichtlich Wirtschaftsstruktur und Handelsmuster erfahren haben. Diese Arbeit untersucht, welche Rolle externe Faktoren im Wirtschaftswachstumsprozess in den Transformationsländern des Baltikums (Estland, Lettland und Litauen) und Zentralasiens (Kasachstan, Kirgisistan und Usbekistan) spielen. Dementsprechend lautet die Leitfrage dieser Untersuchung: Sind die betrachteten Wachstumsratenunterschiede in den Transformationsländern des Baltikums und Zentralasiens auf unterschiedliche Entwicklungen in ihren externen Sektoren zurückzuführen? Um diese Frage entsprechend zu beantworten, werden die Länder hinsichtlich der einzelnen zum Wachstum beitragenden Komponenten verglichen. Diese werden empirisch durch das Anwenden des Modells des durch die Zahlungsbilanz beschränkten Wachstums ermittelt. Mit der einfachen Version des Modells lässt sich die Wachstumsleistung der betrachteten Ökonomien mit deren Handelsverhalten, d.h. Exportkapazitäten und Importzwängen verbinden. Die erweiterte Version des Modells ermöglicht, die Wachstumsraten in deren Komponenten – den Effekt des realen Tauschverhältnisses, den Effekt des Exportwachstums und den Effekt der Kapitalzuflüsse – zu zerlegen. Aus den empirischen Ergebnissen kann geschlossen werden, dass die höheren zu beobachtenden Wachstumsraten der baltischen Ökonomien – verglichen mit denen der zentralasiatischen Ökonomien – in der Periode von 1994 bis 2005 auf höhere Werte der Gesamtheit von Exportwachstum, Kapitalzuflüssen und relativen Preisentwicklungen zurückzuführen sind. Die Wachstumsunterschiede innerhalb der betrachteten Regionen können analog erklärt werden. Ferner, ist davon auszugehen, dass die unterschiedlichen Ergebnisse hinsichtlich der angestrebten regionalen Integration bei der Erklärung der unterschiedlichen Wachstumsleistungen des Baltikums und Zentralasiens in Betracht gezogen werden sollten. Das Baltikum war erfolgreicher nicht zuletzt dank der geglückten Integration mit den Ökonomien der Europäischen Union. Zentralasien hat diesbezüglich hingegen weniger erreicht.

The conditions for sustainable growth and development are among the most debated topics in economics, and the consensus is that institutions matter greatly in explaining why some economies are more successful than others over time. This book explores the relationship between economic conditions, growth, and inequality.
