This book makes a comparative study of economic growth in China and 14 developed countries over the past decades, and also builds a theoretical framework of synergy theory of economic growth. Subsequently, on the basis of the detailed data, this book establishes economic growth models for the 15 countries and measures the contribution of physical capital stocks, investment in physical capital, labor, science and technology, institutions, and economic externalities to the economic growth of these countries respectively. Furthermore, it summarizes the experiences of economic growth among these countries over the past decades, such as United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, South Korea, and Singapore. And based on the synergy theory, this book also establishes dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model groups for economic growth in South Korea and China, and studies the relationship among science and technology, economy, and ecological environment in the process of structural reforms (such as urbanization, informatization, and industrialization), which further expands the research scope of economic growth. On the basis of studies mentioned above, this book conducts a new analysis of China’s gradual dual-track system reform, structural reform, and innovation-driven strategy.

本书对中国与14个发达国家过去几十年的经济增长进行了比较研究，并构建了经济增长协同理论的理论框架。随后，在详细数据的基础上，本书建立了15个国家的经济增长模型，并分别测算了实物资本存量、实物资本投资、劳动力、科技、制度和经济外部性对这些国家经济增长的贡献。此外，还总结了美国、日本、英国、韩国、新加坡等国过去几十年的经济增长经验。并以协同理论为基础，建立了韩国和中国经济增长的动态随机一般均衡模型组，研究了结构改革过程中科技、经济、生态环境之间的关系（如城市化、信息化、，这进一步扩大了经济增长的研究范围。在上述研究的基础上，本书对中国渐进式的双轨制改革、体制改革和创新驱动战略进行了新的分析。
