abstract = {How many years will the average transition economy need to
reach the income level of the average OECD country? The favored
methodology in use to answer such questions is referred to as the BLR
approach, because it uses specifications from Barro, and Levine and Renelt.
The literature has so far refrained from identifying and testing the
underlying assumptions of the BLR approach. This paper attempts to fill
this gap. Our results contrast sharply with the assumptions and findings
from the BLR approach, questioning its might and challenging our
understanding of the transition process in its key dimension.},
