Cíle předmětu
The course covers advanced topics from modern economic growth theory. It starts from empirical motivation and offers the first attempts of explaining the phenomena of growth, the neoclassical models such as Solow-Swan and Ramsey (Solow, 1956; Ramsey, 1928). The course, then, confronts the inference from these models with the data and identifies their weaknesses. It proceeds to models which have tried to alleviate those weaknesses. The first set of models which it covers focus on the efficiency growth of the human capital (human capital accumulation), Romer (1986) and Lucas (1988). Romer (1986) highlights the efficiency growth that stems from learning-by-doing (at the workplace) which is a pure externality in its framework. In turn, Lucas (1988) highlights the formal education process. The second set of models focus on R&D driven growth, Romer (1990), Grossman & Helpman (1991), Jones (1995), and Smulders & van de Klundert (1995). Romer (1990) and Jones (1995) have horizontal innovations (i.e., introduction of new goods), while Grossman & Helpman (1991) and Smulders & van de Klundert (1995) have vertical innovations (i.e., quality upgrade of an existing good, productivity upgrade in the production of an existing good).
