To introduce the theme of this paper I shall revisit the puzzle raised by Lucas (1993) at the
beginning of his article. In the early 1960s, South Korea and the Philippines were similar
with respect to all major economic aggregates: GDP per capita, population, urbanization, ...

A central tenet of economics is that individuals respond to incentives. For psychologists and
sociologists, in contrast, rewards and punishments are often counterproductive, because
they undermine “intrinsic motivation”. We reconcile these two views, showing how ...

We examine how economic stratification affects inequality and growth over time. We study
economies where heterogenous agents interact through local public goods or externalities
