200941854Cambridge: The MIT Press 2009. First edition of this comprehensive rigorous and up-to-date introduction to growth economics that presents all the major growth paradigms. Quarto original illustrated boards. Presentation copy inscribed by both authors on the front free endpaper "John with best wishes Peter Howitt" and "Wishing you lots of success!! Philippe Aghion." Written in collaboration with Leonardo Bursztyn. Cover art by Sara Chaillet. In fine condition. This comprehensive introduction to economic growth presents the main facts and puzzles about growth proposes simple methods and models needed to explain these facts acquaints the reader with the most recent theoretical and empirical developments and provides tools with which to analyze policy design. The treatment of growth theory is fully accessible to students with a background no more advanced than elementary calculus and probability theory; the reader need not master all the subtleties of dynamic programming and stochastic processes to learn what is essential about such issues as cross-country convergence the effects of financial development on growth and the consequences of globalization. The book which grew out of courses taught by the authors at Harvard and Brown universities can be used both by advanced undergraduate and graduate students and as a reference for professional economists in government or international financial organizations. The Economics of Growth first presents the main growth paradigms: the neoclassical model the AK model Romer's product variety model and the Schumpeterian model. The text then builds on the main paradigms to shed light on the dynamic process of growth and development discussing such topics as club convergence directed technical change the transition from Malthusian stagnation to sustained growth general purpose technologies and the recent debate over institutions versus human capital as the primary factor in cross-country income differences. Finally the book focuses on growth policies-analyzing the effects of liberalizing market competition and entry education policy trade liberalization environmental and resource constraints and stabilization policy-and the methodology of growth policy design.

"This book provides a detailed account of the Third Republic in France between the outbreak and conduct of the First World War and the fall of Leon Blum's 'Front Populaire' soon after Hitler's invasion and annexation of Austria in 1938. Following the trauma of war France slipped into the 'era of illusions' which despite the comparative prosperity of the 1920s led to the slump and the severe social and economic unrest of the 1930S. The short-lived experiment of Blum's 'Front Populaire' gave way to more conservatively based ministries but by 1938 a new common enemy began to draw together the political opinion of the country."--WorldCat.
