Unsolved:High-income trap

From HandWiki
Short description: Economic phenomenon


The high-income trap refers to the phenomenon of slower growth in most high-income, developed countries compared to lower-income countries.[1][2][3] Some economists argue that there is more evidence for a high-income trap than the middle-income trap.[4] Among the countries said to experience this trap are Taiwan[5] and Japan.[6]
