1.Introduction
Promotingsustainedeconomicgrowthisprobablythemostimportantgoalofeconomicpolicy.However,studyinggrowthisacomplexandoftencontentiousissue,wherescholarshaveusedvariouseconometrictechniquestouncoverhowcountriesachieveandmaintainrobustgrowth.Traditionally,scholarshaveanalyzedlong-termoutputtrendstounderstandthefactorsbehinddifferinggrowthpatternsacrosscountries(see,forexample,BarroandSala-i-Martin,1991;Mankiwetal.,1992)

Focusingonlong-termgrowthaverages,however,assumesastablelinearrelationshipbetweengrowthanditsfundamentalssuitableforallcountriesinalleconomicconditions.Thisassumptionfaltersgiventherarityofcountriesmaintainingconstantgrowthratesoverlongperiods(Easterlyetal.,1993;Ben-DavidandPapel,1998;Ayaretal.,2018).Instead,growthpatternsaretypicallyvolatile,withcountriesexperiencingphasesofprogress,stagnation,andsetbacks(Pritchett,2000).
Recognizingtheinadequacyoftraditionallong-termtrendanalysisowingtothevolatilenatureofgrowthrates,researchershaveshiftedtowardsinvestigatingspecificepisodesofrapidandsustainedgrowth,alsoknownasgrowthaccelerationsorgrowthspells(Hausmannetal.,2005;TimmeranddeVries,2009).Thesignificanceofstudyinggrowthaccelerationscanbemotivatedfromvariouseconomicperspectives.Forinstance,countriesmightundergoarapidupsurgeinoutputgrowthonlytoreverttotheirpriorgrowthtrajectories,oftenduetotransientshocksthattemporarilybolstergrowthperformance(asperneoclassicalgrowththeory).Conversely,somecountriesmaytransitiontowardsapermanentlyhighergrowthpath,drivenbyenhancedeconomicpolicies,forexample(asviewedfromanendogenousgrowthmodelperspective).Regardlessofthetheoreticalframeworkused,episodesofacceleratedgrowthreflectthemostinterestingvariationingrowthdata,whichwouldbeobscuredwhenconsideringlong-termaverages.Bylinkingthetimingoftheseepisodestodrivingforces,scholarscangaindeeperinsightsintothecausalmechanismsbehindvariationsingrowthperformance.
Hausmannetal.(2005)laidthegroundworkfortheempiricalexaminationofgrowthaccelerations.Toidentifysuchaccelerations,theyproposeasetofeconomiccriteriathatfilteroutyearscharacterizedbybothahighlevelofgrowthandasignificantsurgeofgrowth.Forinstance,averagegrowthisrequiredtoexceed3.5percentperannumoveraperiodofeightyearsandtosurpassthegrowthrateoftheprecedingeightyearsbyatleasttwopercentagepoints.These

criteriahavegarneredwidespreadadoptioninempiricalstudiesasausefulbenchmarkforidentifyinggrowthaccelerations(cf.,ImamandSalinas,2008;TimmeranddeVries,2009;Eichengreenetal.,2012;Diaoetal.,2019;Grussetal.,2020;Avometal.,2021;KoopmanandWacker,2023).Althoughtheresultsinthisliteraturehavebeenmixed,acommonfindingisthataccelerationsarepredominantlyexplainedbystrongerinstitutionsandidiosyncraticfactors.
Toexpeditethecatching-upprocesstomoreadvancedeconomies,developingcountriesrequirenotonlyrobusteconomicgrowth,butalsosustainedgrowthoveranextendedperiod.Addressingthisissue,Bergetal.(2012)investigatethefactorsthatsustaingrowthaccelerationsbyusingstructuralbreaktestinginoutputgrowthseriestoidentifythestartofgrowthaccelerations(followingBaiandPerron,1998,2003)alongsideadhoccriteriatoidentify‘desirable’spells.Theirresultsindicatethatwhileregionsdonotdiffersignificantlyinthefrequencyofgrowthaccelerations,theseepisodestendtobeshorterinAfricanandLatinAmericancountriescomparedtothelongerdurationsobservedinindustrializedcountriesandemergingAsia.
ThefindingsofBergetal.(2012)questiononeoftheimplicitassumptionsinthecriteriaintroducedbyHausmannetal.(2005):thatgrowthaccelerationshaveafixeddurationofeightyears.Additionally,theuseofstructuralbreaktestingtoidentifytheonsetofgrowthaccelerationssuggeststhatcountry-specificgrowthcharacteristicsshouldbeconsideredratherthanapplyinga‘one-size-fits-all’approach.Despitetheseinsights,themethodproposedbyBergetal.(2012)foridentifyinggrowthaccelerationshasnotgainedasmuchtractionasthecanonicalfilterofHausmannetal.(2005).OnepossiblereasonisthelowpoweroftheBai–Perrontest,whichmayleadtotherejectionoftruebreaksintheunderlyingGDPpercapitaseries(Karetal.,2013).
However,thisalsoholdsfortheapproachofHausmannetal.(2005).Forinstance,astheircriteriaarebasedonperiodicaverages,thefilterrisksidentifyingperiodswithsporadichighgrowthinterspersedwithlowornegativegrowth,contradictingtheaimofidentifyingperiodswithsustainedhighoutputgrowth.Thisissuebecomesmorepronouncedwhenepisodesstartamidstnegativegrowthyears(Jong-A-PinanddeHaan,2011)

Bothmethodsforidentifyinggrowthaccelerations(filtersandbreakpoints)haveclearbenefitsbutalsolimitations.Toovercometheseissues,weintroduceanovelfilteringmethodthatbuildsuponpreviousconcepts.Ourapproachcombineselementsofthe‘criteria-based’approachseeninHausmannetal.(2005)butleveragescountry-specificgrowthcharacteristics,akintotheunderlyingprincipleofthe‘break-testing’approachoutlinedbyBergetal.(2012).Specifically,weproposeafilterbasedontheweightedaverageofthelong-termtrendandvolatilityofacountry’soutputgrowth,capturinguniquegrowthpatternstoidentifygrowthaccelerations.Furthermore,ourcriteriadonotimposeafixedlengthoftheacceleration,allowingforanalysesofthedurationofgrowthaccelerations.Byintegratingtheseelementsintoastraightforwardfilter,wesidesteptheneedforcomplexandpotentiallyunreliablestatisticaltechniquestoidentifygrowthaccelerations.
