Ethiopia witnessed transition towards emerging economy in Sub-Saharan African country, assessing the economic growth and the factors that interplay behind the growth may give helpful lesson for similar economies and the region. In contrast with other existing economic booms, Ethiopia’s growth acceleration has not achieved much attention in the literature.
