The Groningen Growth and Development Centre


.
Angus Maddison
(1926-2010)
co-founder of the GGDC.

The Groningen Growth and Development Centre was founded in 1992 within the Economics Department of the University of Groningen by a group of researchers working on comparative analysis of levels of economic performance and differences in growth rates.

The activities of the Centre are primarily in the field of research. This research is largely based on a range of comprehensive databases on indicators of growth and development that the Centre compiles and maintains on a regular basis.

The participants of the Centre publish papers, articles and books often linked to these databases. It also organises seminars and conferences, and it submits and supports (joint) proposals to finance research in this field.

Its current director is Marcel Timmer.
