Scale effect definition

Scale effect here means a positive relationship between the long-run growth rate of the economy and the population size. Its underlying intuition has been nicely described by Jones (2004, p. 14): “A larger population means more Mozarts and Newtons, and more Wright brothers, Sam Waltons, and William Shockleys.” Empirical studies, however, typically reject such population size level effects (see especially Jones, 1995a).
