DESCRIPTION:This paper interprets the Great Divergence as the cumulative in
 fluence of small asymmetries in technology or various initial conditions\, 
 amplified through conflict over resources. It introduces a tractable framew
 ork that integrates demography\, technological progress\, and conflict into
  a unified growth model. The amplification effect of resource appropriation
  is characterized by conflict multipliers in both the short- and long-run. 
 Conflict is a source of substantial divergence\, as the appropriation of re
 sources allows some countries to develop faster at the expense of others. R
 econvergence is\, however\, possible through population growth\, due to str
 ategic complementarities in fertility decisions and staggered demographic t
 ransitions. Rich and non-linear dynamics display key features of comparativ
 e economic development between the West and the Global South\, but also she
 d light on a variety of historical case studies that share such dynamics of
  divergence and reconvergence\, as well as more dramatic episodes of popula
 tion extinction in a dominated country. Our framework can easily be extende
 d to study the role of resource exhaustion or the fundamental trade-off bet
 ween trade and conflict.\\n\\nContact: Thomas Seegmuller : thomas.seegmulle
