Rethinking the Growth Diagnostics Approach: Questions from the Practitioners
Felipe, Jesus; Usui, Norio | November 2008
Abstract
The growth diagnostics methodology pioneered by Hausmann et al. (2005)
is becoming a key piece of the toolkit for donor agencies in formulate their
operational strategies. This paper aims at clarifying the primary objectives of the
approach, highlighting some limitations for operational use. The key to benefiting
from the full potential of this approach lies in a proper understanding of what it
does; and being forewarned about the indiscriminate application of the approach
to developing countries, for this can lead to misguided conclusions.
