The overview lays out a unifying framework for thinking about economic growth as a combination of two challenges. The “structural change challenge” is focused on moving resources from traditional low-productivity activities into modern, more productive industries. The “fundamentals challenge” faced by policy makers in the developing world is about how best to develop broad capabilities such as human capital and infrastructure. While the two are inextricably linked, they are conceptually different, and making this distinction is one of the contributions of this book. The overview also includes a description of the common methodology used in the country studies, a discussion of data and measurement issues, and a synthesis of the findings. 2017-05-08T20:59:19Z 2017-05-08T20:59:19Z 2017-05-11 Book 9780896292147 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/26528 en_US CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo IFPRI Washington, DC: International Food Policy Research Institute and the World Bank Publications & Research :: Publication Publications & Research
