Abstract

This book introduces a modern club convergence framework to study the cross-country dynamics of labor productivity and its proximate sources: capital accumulation and aggregate efficiency. This chapter starts by outlining the contents of the book in terms of research questions that will be answered in subsequent chapters. Next, it provides a first overview of the data by illustrating the large and increasing productivity differences that observed across countries. It concludes by pointing out the need for a club convergence framework to further improve our understanding of the economic performance of developed and developing countries.
