Introduction to Modern Economic Growth is a groundbreaking text from
one of today's leading economists. Daron Acemoglu gives graduate
students not only the tools to analyze growth and related
macroeconomic problems, but also the broad perspective needed to apply
those tools to the big-picture questions of growth and divergence. And
he introduces the economic and mathematical foundations of modern
growth theory and macroeconomics in a rigorous but easy to follow
manner. After covering the necessary background on dynamic general
equilibrium and dynamic optimization, the book presents the basic
workhorse models of growth and takes students to the frontier areas of
growth theory, including models of human capital, endogenous
technological change, technology transfer, international trade,
economic development, and political economy. The book integrates these
theories with data and shows how theoretical approaches can lead to
better perspectives on the fundamental causes of economic growth and
the wealth of nations. Innovative and authoritative, this book is
likely to shape how economic growth is taught and learned for years to
come. Introduces all the foundations for understanding economic growth
and dynamic macroeconomic analysis Focuses on the big-picture
questions of economic growth Provides mathematical foundations
Presents dynamic general equilibrium Covers models such as basic
Solow, neoclassical growth, and overlapping generations, as well as
models of endogenous technology and international linkages Addresses
frontier research areas such as international linkages, international
trade, political economy, and economic development and structural
change An accompanying Student Solutions Manual containing the answers
to selected exercises is available (978-0-691-14163-3/$24.95). See:
