Unified Growth Theory

Zusatztext "This volume must be highly recommended to anyone interested in economic growth and comparative development." ---Christopher Bliss, European Legacy Informationen zum Autor Oded Galor is the Herbert H. Goldberger Professor of Economics at Brown University. Klappentext "Galor's project is breathtakingly ambitious. He proposes a fairly simple, intensely human-capital-oriented model that will accommodate the millennia of Malthusian near-stagnation, the Industrial Revolution and its aftermath of rapid growth, the accompanying demographic transition, and the emergence of modern human-capital-based growth. And the model is supposed to generate endogenously the transitions from one era to the next. The resulting book is a powerful mixture of fact, theory, and interpretation." --Robert Solow, Nobel Laureate in Economics " Unified Growth Theory is a work of unusual ambition. Full of original and daring ideas, this book will inspire, motivate, and challenge economists. Highly recommended." --Daron Acemoglu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology " Unified Growth Theory is Big Science at its best. It grapples with some of the broadest questions in social science, integrating state-of-the-art economic theory with a rich exploration of a wide range of empirical evidence. Galor's erudition and creativity are remarkable, and the ideas embodied in this book will have a lasting effect on economics." --Steven N. Durlauf, University of Wisconsin-Madison Zusammenfassung Presents a unified theory of economic growth since the dawn of civilization. This title provides a comprehensive overview of the three phases of the development process. It analyzes the Malthusian theory and its empirical support. It examines theories of demographic transition and their empirical significance. Inhaltsverzeichnis 16760759
