Note
This course is intended as an introduction to the field of advanced macroeconomics with a special focus on economic growth. Lectures aim to deal with the theoretical foundations of exogenous and endogenous growth models. The importance of growth for nations and discussion of some (well-known) growth theories together with the role of innovation, human capital and environment will therefore be primary focuses of this course.
Learning objective:
Students shall be given the ability to understand, analyze and evaluate selected models of endogenous growth theory.
Course content:
- Intertemporal consumption decision
- Growth models with exogenous saving rates: Solow
- Growth models with endogenous saving rates: Ramsey
- Growth and environmental resources
- Basic models of endogenous growth
- Human capital and economic growth
- Modelling of technological progress
- Diversity Models
- Schumpeterian growth
- Directional technological progress
- Diffusion of technologies
Recommendations:
Basic knowledge of micro- and macroeconomics is assumed, as taught in the courses Economics I [2600012], and Economics II [2600014]. In addition, an interest in quantitative-mathematical modeling is required.
Workload:
The total workload for this course is approximately 135.0 hours. For further information see German version.
Exam description:
The assessment consists of a written exam (60 min) according to Section 4(2), 1 of the examination regulation. The exam takes place in every semester. Re-examinations are offered at every ordinary examination date.
Students will be given the opportunity of writing and presenting a short paper during the lecture time to achieve a bonus on the exam grade. If the mandatory credit point exam is passed, the awarded bonus points will be added to the regular exam points. A deterioration is not possible by definition, and a grade does not necessarily improve, but is very likely to (not every additional point improves the total number of points, since a grade can not become better than 1). The voluntary elaboration of such a paper can not countervail a fail in the exam.
