Introduction to Modern Economic Growth

Серия: "-"

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.

Acemoglu

Daron Acemoğlu (* 3. September 1967 in Istanbul) ist ein US-amerikanisch-türkischer Ökonom armenischer Abstammung. Sein Vater Kevork, der 1988 starb, war Jurist und Dozent an der Universität Istanbul. Seine Mutter Irma († 1991) war eine bekannte armenische Lyrikerin.

Leben

Acemoğlu ist Charles P. Kindleberger Professor für angewandte Ökonomik am Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Stand 2006). Ihm wurde die John Bates Clark Medal im Jahr 2005 verliehen. Seinen Bachelorabschluss erhielt Acemoğlu 1989 von der Universität York und seinen Doktortitel 1992 von der London School of Economics and Political Science. Als Forscher ist er insbesondere in den Bereichen Politische Ökonomie, Entwicklungsökonomik, Wachstumstheorie, Technologie, Einkommens- und Lohnungleichheit, Humankapital und Ausbildung, sowie Arbeitsmarktökonomik tätig.

Sein im Jahr 2000 zusammen mit Simon Johnson und James A. Robinson veröffentlichter Aufsatz The Colonial Origins of Comparative Development: An Empirical Investigation (NBER Working Paper 7771) rief eine interessante Debatte hervor zwischen Acemoglu und Jeffrey Sachs über die Ursachen von Unterentwicklung. Im Unterschied zu Sachs, der Unterentwicklung vor allem auf geographische Faktoren zurückführt, unterstreicht Acemoğlu die Bedeutung von Institutionen. Acemoğlu et al argumentierten anhand von Daten, dass schlechte institutionelle Rahmenbedingungen einen Hauptgrund für die Unterschiede im Grad der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung zwischen verschiedenen ehemaligen Kolonien darstellen.
