Almost a century Joseph A. Schumpeter argued that the capitalist system is an engine of growth driven by technological change and that this is the outcome of market rivalry, that is, the continuous striving of firms to improve and defend their market position at the expense of other firms. Modern growth theory provides a unied, consistent framework for modeling this process. Within the time limits of a short course, we will study the analytical foundations of this framework and use the most recent advances in modeling to shed light on old and new questions concerning development and growth. Because of its emphasis on market imperfections, and the consequent need for institutional corrections, modern growth theory integrates the market and the government in a framework that allows us to think about real-world problems in a novel and more productive way.
This course departs from the \creative destruction" approach of Aghion and Howitt and develops a \creative accumulation" one, which is more in line with theory and evidence from IO.
