Dr. Meon's comment on this article

Dr. Meon has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

-The article is short and sketchy.

-"Income per capita has been increasing steadily in almost every country". Growth has been shown to be uneven in general. See: Pritchett, Lant. "Understanding patterns of economic growth: searching for hills among plateaus, mountains, and plains." The World Bank Economic Review 14.2 (2000): 221-250.

Moreover some countries have seen their GDP decrease, during recessions or conflicts. The statement should therefore be deleted.

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

We believe Dr. Meon has expertise on the topic of this article, since he has published relevant scholarly research:

• Reference : Axel Dreher & Pierre-Guillaume Meon & Friedrich Schneider, 2012. "The devil is in the shadow. Do institutions affect income and productivity or only official income and official productivity?," Working Papers CEB 12-019, ULB -- Universite Libre de Bruxelles.

Sorry for the side-track Dr. Meon, could you also review "profit (accounting)"? I feel that the page has veered off-course. This page looks much more decent than that, if I may compare. justexamples 15:59, 31 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justexamples (talk • contribs)
