The objective of the course is to give the students an overview of the literature and the intellectual debate related to economic growth and long-run macroeconomics.
After discussing some key stylized facts about economic growth and development, we will identify the most important questions addressed by growth economists over the last few decades. We will then review the main neoclassical theories of growth, as well as the most recent developments in the fields of comparative development and Unified Growth Theory. To do this, we will rely on both continuous- and discrete-time analysis. Finally, we will discuss some of the most debated growth-related issues, as well as the newest perspectives of the literature.- Enseignant: Latzer Hélène
