Sumario:Differences in the growth performances of OECD countries during the 1990s revived the debate over the underlying causes of economic growth. This debate prompted the OECD to undertake a number of in-depth studies into this issue.

Following on from this, what effects, if any, have other developments--not least the spread of information technology (IT)--had on the determinants of overall economic growth?

And, finally, what impact has restructuring within and between industries had on overall growth performances?
