Some countries have experienced relatively steady growth, others long periods of stagnation and rapid increases. Neo-classical model based on capital accumulation needs exogenous technological change to ‘explain’ growth; large Solow residual. Endogenous growth models based on imperfect competition and innovation (new goods and/or quality improvements) led by entrepreneurs in search of profits. Large swings in economic prosperity may be explained by geographical economics model.
