What we know about economic growth in LMICs
This is an ongoing sequence of posts that summarizes the academic literature on economic growth in developing countries. My goal is to unpack the black box of "economic growth" into what I believe are the important angles from which to consider increasing growth. The goal is for people to read this series with an entrepreneurial eye, to find interventions that could help boost economic growth using this more granular perspective.
- Sectoral transformation. The movement of workers out of agriculture is a fundamental part of economic growth. This post discusses what we know about how to catalyze this movement.
- Firm dynamics. A country's output is the sum of output by its firms. Yet firms in developing countries are stagnant. This post discusses what we know about how to catalyze the growth of firms.
