[edit] Critics

This should be elaborated upon. Most endogenous growth theories DO predict non-convergence although I guess some folks may feel that they don't do this in a satisfactory way. The article also states something along the lines of "it is generally felt" which is wishy washy and needs some citations.radek 05:12, 24 January 2007 (UTC)


Article needs to be corrected. In Solow's model ('old growth theory') the proportion of savings will have no effect on the warranted (long-term) growth rate. According to Solw, technological change, given exogenously, is the only factor that can increase the warranted rate.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg

Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Rewrite

This article needs to rewritten. It reads like it was created by an under-graduate with only minimal knowledge of the subject. If anyone wants to help out contact me on my talk page or here. MartinDK 17:04, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

i agree. furthermore the link on peter howitt at the bottom of the page, surely, is wrong. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Smt2007

I also agree that this page needs to be re-written - but could you please make the explanation a little more "accessible" to the layman?
