| Title |
Economic Growth |
| Description |
What are the forces driving the growth process in the world economy? What are the sources and limits of growth? How to understand the mechanisms at work in the growth process? What do the data tell us about the long-run growth? Will the poor remain poor? This course will be an attempt to tackle these questions and will introduce the students to the economic analysis of growth. The course will show how economic theory can be used to understand the data, and how the data can be used to test theory. We will cover the Solow-Swan growth model and its empirics, endogenous growth, and extensions to endogenous savings.
This lecture will address various issues of social and economic sustainability. In particular, it will be discussed whether the current technological change increases inequality and leads to a stronger polarization on the labor market.
The course is based on the textbook by Aghion and Howitt, The Economics of Growth, The MIT Press, 2008.
