Once they developed the basic institutions needed for a market economy and learned how to avoid serious macroeconomic policy mistakes, emerging countries started benefiting from catch-up growth. Those with very high investment rates, mostly in East Asia, grew faster than those with lower investment rates; but, overall, catch-up growth probably has been adding 2-4 percentage points to many emerging and developing countries’ annual growth rates.
一旦它们发展出市场经济所需要的基本制度、学会如何避免严重宏观经济政策失误，新兴国家就开始从赶超增长中获益。投资率极高的国家（大多在亚洲）获得了比投资率较低的国家更快的增长；但是，总体而言，赶超增长使得许多新兴和发展中国家年增长率提高了2—4个百分点。与此同时，人口增长在下降，从而进一步推高了人均增长速度。
