	Economic Growth, by Paul M. Romer: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Rapid growth could be achieved in large part by copying industrial practices in the leading countries of the world.
		If economic growth could be achieved only by doing more and more of the same kind of cooking, we would eventually run out of raw materials and suffer from unacceptable levels of pollution and nuisance.
		This discovery may ultimately have economic implications that are as far-reaching as the discovery of the transistor.

	Economic growth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The modern conception of economic growth began with the critique of Mercantilism, especially by the physiocrats and with the Scottish Enlightenment thinkers such as David Hume and Adam Smith, and the foundation of the discipline of modern political economy.
		The long-run path of economic growth is one of the central questions of economics; in spite of the problems of measurement, an increase in GDP of a country is generally taken as an increase in the standard of living of its inhabitants.
		This aspect of economics (economic geography)--and its influence on human migration and political structures--was extensively studied by Ellsworth Huntington, a professor of Economics at Yale University in the early 20th century.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Today's issues \| Economic growth
		Economic growth is the most fundamental indicator of an economy's health - the rate at which national income is growing.
		The British economist, John Maynard Keynes, proposed an endogenous model of economic growth that suggests growth is largely self-adjusting, moving through a cycle of peaks and troughs, or boom and bust.
		Economic growth may even go negative (showing that the economy is now shrinking) before prices begin to drop in response.

	economic growth - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about economic growth
		Rate of growth of output of all goods and services in an economy, usually measured as the percentage increase in gross domestic product or gross national product from one year to the next.
		It is regarded as an indicator of the rate of increase or decrease (if economic growth is negative) in the standard of living.

	Preservation Institute: The End of Economic Growth
		Of course, negative growth would have to be gradual: it would take many decades to rebuild our cities so they were no longer dominated by the automobile, and a gradual transition is also needed to avoid economic instability and to protect retirement funds.
		This attitude may have been useful during the age of economic growth, but when growth ends, we will be able to see that Aristotle was right to say that we work in order to have leisure, that the purpose of work is to support activities that are ends in themselves.
		This appendix is an economic analysis of counterproductivity that shows graphically what the optimum level of output is. We have seen that economic growth leads to counterproductivity because the things we produce become less useful while environmental and social costs remain roughly constant.

	After Marx: Structural Change and Steady State
		Concern with growth was then largely confined to the German and English Historical Schools, although these thinkers did little more than improve the recording and collection of facts on economic history.
		One may think of this as more of a cycle theory than a growth theory, but Schumpeter claimed that there were ratchet effects in innovation so that entrepreneurial-driven spurts of economic activity led to progressively higher levels of income.
		The final set of growth theories that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s are the "structural" theories of growth developed by the Soviet economist Grigory Fel'dman (1928) and the Kiel School (e.g.

	The Size and Functions of Government And Economic Growth
		The reduction in GDP growth rates in the United States and in many nations around the world can be traced directly to their increases in government expenditures far in excess of the growth-maximizing level.
		The reduction in the average growth rate of real GDP was 5.2 percentage points for OECD members with the largest expansion in size of government, compared to an average decline of 1.6 percentage points for those with the least increase in size of government.
		Investment would be expected to increase economic growth, and the positive sign on the investment coefficient shows that more investment is correlated with higher economic growth.15 The coefficient of the investment variable is significant at better than the 95 percent level of confidence.

		But in Religion and Economic Growth (NBER Working Paper No. 9682), authors Robert Barro and Rachel McCleary analyze the influences of religious participation and beliefs on a country’s rate of economic progress.
		However, that suppression of growth is tempered by the extent to which church attendance leads to greater religious beliefs, which in turn encourages economic growth.

	ISRAEL'S ECONOMIC GROWTH
		While economic development theorists generally hold that security is a prerequisite for economic growth, Israel’s war-torn history has not prevented it from creating a strong, modern, and diversified economy, one which rivals European countries instead of its neighbors in the region.
		It is important to note that the economic prosperity of the 1990s coincided with a new, deadly dimension of the Arab-Israeli conflict: the advent of Palestinian suicide terrorism inside the Green Line.
		In total, Israel’s economic success is quite unique among developing countries given the conditions under which it evolved: few natural resources, a socialist legacy, regional warfare, and mass immigration absorption—all of which combined should have brought failure.
