On the Existence of a Middle Income Trap
The term "middle income trap"' has been widely used in the literature, without having been clearly defined or formally tested. We propose a statistical definition of a middle income trap and derive a simple time-series test. We find that the concept survives a rigorous scrutiny of the data, with the growth patterns of 19 countries being consistent with our definition of a middle income trap.
