Document Summary
A turning point in chronology: change from extensive to intensive growth. Intensive growth started late in the arab world. This slide shows when intensive growth started in each of the 41 countries. Algeria was the only one to start in the first world economic boom (1880) For egypt, morocco, and turkey, intensive growth started because of industrialization. Iran+iraq by oil and natural gas exports (other countries like the emirates are the same as above) The same is true for syria and tunisia. Though there has also been substantial industrialization in jordan. Capturing and increasing profits from oil and natural gas exports: iran and iraq. The same is true for the smaller, fuel-endowed arab countries, Bahrain, kuwait, libya, oman, qatar, saudi arabia, and the uae. Late to the game: sudan and yemen (1990s) Since these are the two largest arab sub-saharan african countries, they dominate the population-weighted averages discussed in section i.
