The goal of this course is to answer one of the most fundamental questions in economics: why do some economies grow and some others don’t? This is an advanced topics in macroeconomics class and as such, we will study some formal models and statistical analysis to answer this question, in the most scientific way possible. My commitment is to teach you some classic themes in the theory of growth and expose you to some recent research and debates at the frontier of the theory of economic growth.
