Many factors inhibiting and facilitating economic growth have been suggested. Will international income data tell which matter when all are treated symmetrically a priori? We find that growth determinants emerging from agnostic Bayesian model averaging and classical model selection procedures are sensitive to income differences across datasets. For example, many of the 1975-1996 growth determin...

But that investigation is complicated by the fact that country experiences with growth are enormously varied and often confusing. Numerous potential growth determinants have been ...
متن کاملDeterminants of Economic Growth: A Bayesian Panel Data Approach∗
Model uncertainty hampers consensus on the key determinants of economic growth. Some recent cross-country cross-sectional analyses have employed Bayesian Model Averaging to tackle the issue of model uncertainty. This paper extends that approach to panel data models with countryspecific fixed effects in order to simultaneously address model uncertainty and endogeneity issues. The empirical findi...

During the past years, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has become a recognized treatment option for patients with heart failure and conduction delays. In the meantime, the principle of re-synchronizing a dyssynchronous ventricle can be regarded as established. The challenge of correctly identifying the patient candidates who will benefit from this costly and not completely noninvasive t...
متن کاملWill more higher education improve economic growth?
Calls for expanded university education are frequently based on arguments that more graduates will lead to faster growth. Empirical analysis does not, however, support this general proposition. Differences in cognitive skills—the knowledge capital of countries—can explain most of the differences in growth rates across countries, but just adding more years of schooling without increasing cogniti...
