Economics, Economic Growth and Income Distribution, Intermediate Course, 7.5 Credits
The course covers the main areas usually included in a course on economic growth. The core theoretical modelling is built on the Solow model and endogenous growth models. Also, growth models, taking technological transfers, globalization, population growth (the Malthus model) and nonrenewable resources are discussed in the course, as well as the importance and impact of institutions on economic growth. The course also reviews and discusses the debate about growth and distribution from an income and wealth perspective. The predictions of the theoretical models are tested against empirical evidence, which includes own empirical analysis.
