The catch-up effect refers to the idea that:

**a. it is easier for a country to grow fast and so catch-up if it starts out relatively poor.**

This concept suggests that poorer countries can grow at a faster rate than more developed countries because they can adopt existing technologies and practices rather than having to innovate from scratch.
