The determinants of economic growth in emerging economies: a comparative analysis (original) (raw)

The paper investigates the determinants of economic growth in emerging economies through a cross-country analysis of 44 nations, including a comparison with reference cases such as Spain and Ireland. It posits that economic growth is not solely dependent on the socio-economic model but rather on the interaction of governance, institutions, education levels, export activities, and various human development dimensions. The study critiques existing literature for its failure to account for these interactions, emphasizing the need for a holistic understanding of economic growth that integrates both income and non-income factors.
