Description
This is one course in a two-semester core course series in Macroeconomics at the first-year graduate-level. The focus of this course will be on the theory and empirics of the macroeconomics of the long-run; i.e., economic growth. The treatment of topics will be mathematically rigorous. Topics include the neoclassical growth model, endogenous growth models, and the Malthusian model. We will also study deep determinants of very long run growth, with special attention to institutions. In the empirical part of the course we will study Barro regressions and more recent empirics of economic growth including panel data growth regressions, as well as growth and development accounting.
