A simple but useful method of reciprocal values is introduced, explained and illustrated. This method simplifies the analysis of hyperbolic distributions, which are causing serious…
Application of Differential Equations in Projecting Growth Trajectories
Ron W. Nielsen
Mathematical method based on a direct or indirect analysis of growth rates is described. It is shown how simple assumptions and a relatively easy analysis can be used to describe m…
Puzzling properties of the historical growth rate of income per capita explained
Ron W Nielsen
Galor discovered many mysteries of the growth process. He lists them in his Unified Growth Theory and wonders how they can be explained. Close inspection of his mysteries reveals t…
Unified Growth Theory Contradicted by the Economic Growth in Latin America
Ron W Nielsen
Historical economic growth in Latin America is analysed using the data of Maddison. Unified Growth Theory is found to be contradicted by these data in the same way as it is contrad…
Unified Growth Theory Contradicted by the GDP/cap Data
Ron W Nielsen
Mathematical properties of the historical GDP/cap distributions are discussed and explained. These distributions are frequently incorrectly interpreted and the Unified Growth Theor…
Unified Growth Theory Contradicted by the Economic Growth in the Former USSR
Ron W Nielsen
Historical economic growth in countries of the former USSR is analysed. It is shown that Unified Growth Theory is contradicted by the data, which were used, but not analysed, durin…
Unified Growth Theory Contradicted by the Economic Growth in Asia
Ron W Nielsen
Historical economic growth in Asia (excluding Japan) is analysed. It is shown that Unified Growth Theory is contradicted by the data, which were used (but not analysed) during the…
Early Warning Signs of the Economic Crisis in Greece: A Warning for Other Countries and Regions
Ron W Nielsen
Warning signs about the developing economic crisis in Greece were present in the growth rate of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and in the growth of the GDP well before the econom…
The Insecure Future of the World Economic Growth
Ron W Nielsen
Growth rate of the world Growth Domestic Product (GDP) is analysed to determine possible pathways of the future economic growth. The analysis is based on using the latest data of t…
Unified Growth Theory: A puzzling collection of myths based on hyperbolic illusions
Ron W Nielsen
The Unified Growth Theory is a puzzling collection of myths based on illusions created by hyperbolic distributions. Some of these myths are discussed. The examination of data shows…
