Publisher: —
Description: Adele Wiseman was a seminal figure in Canadian letters. Always independent and wilful, she charted her own literary career, based on her unfailing belief in her artistic vision.

The Forces of Economic Growth : A Time Series Perspective

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description In economics, the emergence of New Growth Theory in recent decades has directed attention to an old and important problem: what are the forces of economic growth and how can public policy enhance them?

Unique in emphasizing the importance of different forces for particular stages of development, it offers wide-ranging policy implications in the process.

Their empirical analyses, undertaken with newly constructed time series data for the United States and some core countries of the Euro… [detailed...]
