Browse Hierarchy ECON6006: Economic Growth

This module uses economic theory to analyse the structure and forces behind economic growth and development. An introduction to standard theories of economic growth will be developed. These theories will then be used to analyse the process of economic growth at the world level and the sources of income and growth differences across countries. The module has a number of objectives: the first is to familiarise students with a set of important issues that are central to macroeconomics. The second is to develop some dynamic economics knowledge useful in macroeconomics as well as in a number of other sub-disciplines. A final objective is to provide students with some tools to analyse the economy with a long-run perspective that is normally overlooked in the other macroeconomic modules.
