Endnotes

(1) Abramovitz (1986) points out different studies like Angus Maddison's study concerning historical time series of the levels of growth of labor productivity covering several industrialized countries from 1970 to 1979.

(2) Most of the research in this field concentrates on how institutions and systems were build to produce 'intensive learning' which facilitates development in newly industrialized countries, not in developing or transition countries.

(3) This conclusion corresponds to the idea of 'technological congruence' introduced by Abramovitz (1986) explained in item 2.1.
