New technologies are developed in the leading region but technological improvements in the lagging region are the result of learning from the leading region's technologies. The analysis sheds light on four salient questions. First, the paper determines the long-run growth rate of output per human capital unit in the leading region. Second, it defines a lagging to leading region technology ratio, study its stability properties, and then uses this ratio to ascertain the long-run growth rate of output per human capital unit in the lagging region. Third, for specific parameter values, it analyses the ratio of output per human capital unit in the lagging region to output per human capital unit in the leading region when both regions have converged to their balanced growth paths. Finally, the paper discusses the policy implications of our analysis and then offers suggestions for extending the research described here. - Reproduced.  aLearning  aTechnology  aEconomic growth  aNijkamp, Peter  aEconomic and Political Weekly  aN  a103495  c103491d103491  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 49, Issue no: 14pAR103955r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
