In The Economics of Convergence, Bart van Ark compares productivity levels in manufacturing between leading manufacturing countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas. He shows the substantial productivity gaps which still exist, not only between advanced and developing countries, but also among advanced countries themselves. This book makes an important contribution to understanding differences in the standard of living between countries, the relative strengths and weaknesses of branches and sectors in the economy and the competitive advantages between nations.
