May want to account for the differences in GDP rebasing too - I observed the same gaps in West Africa a couple of years back but it turned out it was largely driven by rebasing and the timing of rebasing. I am sure the gaps will remain but likely not that big.
Congratulations to @lwantchekon, a dedicated mentor and role model to so many of us.
Irrespective of the circumstances, nothing can stop the one who is determined to rise.
Listen to Prof. @lwantchekon’s speech after receiving the Global Economy Prize 2023.
