ECOS3018: Economics of Growth
2024 unit information
At the heart of an understanding of the dynamics of market or capitalist economies is an understanding of economic growth. This unit is an introduction to the analysis of economic growth, including a comparison of competing explanations. It considers the connection between growth and distribution, growth and technical progress, the role of economic policies and economic institutions, as well as the limitations on growth associated with exhaustible natural resources. Some consideration of the empirical evidence on different explanations of growth is also provided.
