Nation learning refers to consistent and strategic cross-sector efforts to identify pathways towards economic catch-up. This chapter examines the global dynamics of national-level catch-up between 1995 and 2015 to gain insights into the relevance of nation learning efforts. Over this period, most developing Asian countries made significant progress on catch-up.
