Hunting for Leopards : Long Run Country Income Dynamics in Africa
This paper examines the country-level dynamics of long-run growth in Africa between 1975 and 2005. The authors examine how growth has affected mobility and the distribution of income among countries. They analyze changes in cross-country income structure and convergence, and look for evidence of the formation of country groups or "clubs." Using a novel method of breaking up the growth histories of African economies into medium-term spells of growth accelerations and declines, the authors investigate whether a group of African "leopards" - the regional equivalent of Asia's "tigers" - is beginning to emerge.

| description |
This paper examines the country-level
dynamics of long-run growth in Africa between 1975 and 2005.
The authors examine how growth has affected mobility and the
distribution of income among countries. They analyze
changes in cross-country income structure and convergence,
and look for evidence of the formation of country groups or
"clubs." Using a novel method of breaking up the
growth histories of African economies into medium-term
spells of growth accelerations and declines, the authors
investigate whether a group of African "leopards"
- the regional equivalent of Asia's "tigers"
- is beginning to emerge. |
