dc.description.abstractUsing modern growth theory, we estimate Colombian total-factor productivity relative to the United Kingdom's for the last 200 years in order to match observed income differences.Our results show Colombia's remarkably inefficient use of technology relative to a country that is a leader in this regard and provide quantitative estimates of the proximate causes of relative income differences between the two economies.
