Abstract = {This paper offers new evidence on the sources of cross-country income
differences. It exploits the idea that observing immigrant workers
from different countries in the same labor market provides an opportunity
to estimate their human-capital endowments. These estimates suggest
that human and physical capital account for only a fraction of cross-country
income differences. For countries below 40 percent of U.S. output
per worker, less than half of the output gap relative to the United
States is attributed to human and physical capital. (JEL O15, O41,
