catch-up effect

Definition

A theory postulating that a convergence occurs between poorer economies and wealthy economies in terms of national income due to an acceleration of growth as poorer economies "catch up" in their use of technology. Economies with more established levels of productivity tend to grow more slowly than smaller economies that require much less capital to make significant gains.
