This collection of essays on Verdoorn's Law - the relationship between the growth of industrial productivity and output - presents a number of comprehensive surveys and assessments of the vast literature available. The collection not only includes an English translation of Verdoorn's seminal article originally published in Italian, but also new empirical evidence for the Verdoorn Law and new developments in the theoretical modelling of cumulative causation.
