"The Unified Growth Theory is receiving increasing attention from growth theorists since the seminal work of Galor and Weil (1999, 2000). These authors emphasize the need for a unified theory of growth that could account for the transition from Malthusian Stagnation to the Modern Growth Regime (1999).

This paper gives an overview of the Unified Growth Theory, its determinants and its implications." (author's abstract)... view less
