The Golden Age of Economic Growth in Western Europe, 1950-1973
本文利用1980年代中期以来经济增长理论的新成果，重新审视二战后西欧的快速经济增长以及英国相对缓慢的增长，并指出经济史研究可能修正经济学家的某些结论。
Since the mid-1980's there has been a major resurgence in the economics profession both of theoretical and empirical research on economic growth. In this paper I shall explore the implications of these new ideas for our understanding of the extraordinarily rapid European Growth of the post World War II period and, more briefly, of Britain's relatively slow growth rate. At the same time I wish to suggest that economists may have something to learn from the economic history of these years and that more serious study of this episode might modify some of their research findings.
