Abstract

This study investigates the sources of heterogeneity across a worldwide set of countries. Unspecified ex ante and unanticipated cultural (Protestant versus Catholic), geographical (continents), and institutional (OECD versus non-OECD) emerge endogenously and naturally as homogeneous classes on the basis of the, economic structure The dynamic both within and across the identified groups of countries are consistent with multiple equilibrium-growth models proposed by, for instance. Azanadis and Drazen (1990), therefore strengthening the viability of the convergence club hypothesis. In particular, higher stages of development are, on average, non linearly associated with higher stages of growth.
