ECON 4430 - Economics of Growth & Innovation


Dynamic models of national and international economic growth are introduced and analyzed.  Technological innovation is central to growth, and models consider the endogenous determinants of technological innovation and diffusion.  National institutions that affect growth, such as law, education, and infrastructure, are considered. Variation in intellectual property rights across countries are examined, together with their effects on economic growth and development. Theories of growth are compared to empirical fact.
