1 Economic Growth: Theory and Policy (Timo Boppart s part) Lecturer: Timo Boppart Stockholm University, PhD Program in Economics Q4, March/April, General Information This part of the course consists of four three-hour lectures covering advanced topics in economic growth. The aim of the course is to learn the tools and building blocks of modern growth theory with a special emphasize of multi-sector models. Generally, theories of growth, innovation and technical change are interrelated to many research questions in development, environmental economics, economic history, political economy and labor economics. The course should prepare students with tools and the theoretical knowledge to understand and apply modern theories of economic growth. It is a theoretical course. However, empirical facts will be emphasized and empirical tests of the models predictions will be illustrated. The meetings will be held on: March 23, March 25, April 7, April 13, The second part of the course is taught by Philippe Aghion. The bibliography contains journal articles, Handbook chapters as well as the two textbooks: Acemoglu D. (2009) Introduction to Modern Economic Growth, Princeton University Press, Princeton NJ. Aghion P. and P. Howitt (2009) The Economics of Growth, MIT Press, Cambridge MA. 1
2 2 Lecture Material Lecture 1: Neoclassical Growth Theory Growth theory is motivated. We start with a refresh of the foundations of neoclassical growth theory. We discuss Kaldor s stylized facts of economic growth, Hicks/Harrod/Solow neutral technical change, growth regressions, convergence, growth accounting and growth in the very long run.
