Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide a theoretical framework with a brief literature particularly linking the various determinants of economic growth. These determinants are its basis in the reconciliation of those three theories of exogenous growth, endogenous growth and the convergence between these two forms of growth. In this context, the convergence paths to long-term economic growth requires a set of economic, social, cultural and political factors on either regions, or cross country, or some countries or see all over the world countries. These hypotheses are tested in an econometric study of dynamic panel data from five BRICS countries during the period 2000-2012. The econometric model in this article is presented in the form of a conditional convergence equation to treat the origins of economic growth.
