Abstract
The poor national performance of the South African economy has been widely analysed, but this disguises considerable variation in economic performance between sectors and regions. Raising production in lagging provinces to the level of the best performers could boost national output and income considerably. This depends on a deeper understanding of national industry trends together with place-based dynamics.-
