Asiaphoria Meets Regression to the Mean (2014, background): “Dramatic changes in perceptions of the Japanese economic system provide another example.”
Structural change and growth accelerations in Asia and Latin America: a new sectoral data set (2009, background): “agriculture and services ( Jones and Olken 2008 ).”
Economic Geography and Economic Development in Sub-Saharan Africa (2012, background): “Previous spells of sustained growth (mostly experienced by Asian countries) were all accompanied by a rapid expansion of international trade, and trade in manufacturing goods in particular (see e.g. Johnson and others 2006 or Jones and Olken, 2008).”
Do No Harm: Aid, Weak Institutions, and the Missing Middle in Africa (2007, neutral): “In recent papers Easterly (2005), Kraay and Raddatz (2005), Berg et al. (2006, forthcoming) and Jones and Olken (2005) provide evidence that contradicts the two key propositions.”
Financial Frictions and the Persistence of History: A Quantitative Exploration (2010, neutral): “Furthermore, consistent with our findings, the literature shows that the earlier stages of growth accelerations are driven by TFP growth, which partly reflects more efficient labor reallocation, with capital accumulation playing a relatively minor role ð Jones and Olken 2005Þ.”
Rethinking Trade Preferences: How Africa Can Diversify its Exports (2007, neutral): “Jones and Olken (2006) identify growth accelerations, and show that these are associated with an average 13 percentage point increase in the share of trade in income (over a 5 year period) as well as an acceleration of the rate of transfer of labour into manufacturing.”
How Business Is Done in the Developing World: Deals versus Rules (2015, background): “More broadly, economists have struggled to explain the observed pattern of growth accelerations and decelerations across countries (Hausmann, Pritchett, and Rodrik 2005; Jones and Olken 2008).”
The Implications of Natural Resource Exports for Nonresource Trade (2016, neutral): “Empirically, growth accelerations are associated with increases in the ratio of trade to GDP (Hausmann, Hwang, and Rodrik, 2005; Jones and Olken, 2008), and many sustained growth stories are associated with high levels of manufacturing exports (Johnson, Ostry, and Subramanian, 2006).”
