Abstract

A number of hypotheses about the impact of country size on the medium-term growth process in developing countries are tested with the aid of a model of disequilibrium growth, estimated for a sample of forty-eight countries over the period 1975-85. Evidence about the stability of the model's parameters is used to test whether 'smallness' restricts growth by causing 'capital shallowing,' restricting structural change and/or reducing barriers to inter- and intracountry diffusion of technical change. The results indicate that arbitrary definitions of smallness may produce misleading results and that particular features of smallness do constrain specific sources of growth.
