520    Do growth spells in Africa end because of bad realizations
       of the same factors that influence growth spells in the 
       rest of the world, or because of different factors 
       altogether? To answer this question, we examine 
       determinants of growth spells in Africa and the rest of 
       the world using Bayesian Mode Averaging techniques for 
       proportional hazards models. We define growth spells as 
       periods of sustained growth episodes between growth 
       accelerations and decelerations and then relate the 
       probability that a growth spell ends to various 
       determinants including exogenous shocks, physical and 
       human capital, macroeconomic policy, and sociopolitical 
       factors. Our analysis suggests that determinants of growth
       spells in Africa are different from those in the rest of 
       the world. The majority of the identified robust 
       determinants have a distinct impact in only one of the two
       samples: initial income, terms of trade, exchange rate 
       undervaluation and inflation, influence spells only in the
       world sample, while openness and droughts seem to only 
       affect Africa. In addition, a few common determinants - 
       proxies for human and physical capital and changes in the 
       world interest rate - have very different marginal effects
       in the two samples.
