dc.description.abstract | This paper analyzes a model of economic growth that explains differences
in economic structure across countries. It highlights the interplay between
productivity, talents utilization and entrepreneurship incentives. The paper
has two main results. First, it argues that when measuring human capital we
ignore one dimension, which is "talents utilization". It is suggested then that,
in development accounting, human capital is inaccurately measured. Second,
it shows that the magnitude of talents utilization increases with the level of
development. Thus, the paper suggests that talents utilization ampliflies dif-
ferences in productivity and contributes to the explanation of large observed
international differences in per capita income. | en |
