Abstract

Very few studies of economic growth in the Australian States are available and most rely upon a simple shift-and-share model. Further, these studies usually confine themselves to looking only at employment change. This thesis moves past this and presents two other possible interpretations of the major factors affecting State manufacturing growth.
