| Summary: | Four stylised facts of aggregate economic growth are set up initially. The growth process is interpreted to represent transitional dynamics rather than balanced-growth equilibria.

Finally, the process of growth is analysed empirically by means of cross-sectional conditional convergence regressions with endogenous control variables |
