Introduction by the editor

This page is a listing of papers on economic growth over the very long run – growth over periods of time long enough for an economy to undergo a major demographic transition, or transformation in the means of production (a transition from agriculture to industry, or from hunting and gathering to agriculture). The papers concern not only the nature of these transitions, but also the exogenous forces, internal processes, and institutional developments that induce or coincide with very long run growth and economic transition.
