The primary objective of this course is to introduce students with the process of economic growth and the long run sources of differences in economic performances across nations. Emphasis will be placed on developing theoretical toolkits in understanding growth mechanics. It is intended that this course will make students learn some of the workhorse models in modern macroeconomics, namely Solow model, Neo-classical model, overlapping generations model, models with technological change and technology adoption etc.
This course is primarily aimed at the MA and Ph.D research scholars in Economics and related disciplines. Students need to have a background in economics (especially in macroeconomics at the bachelor level). Students other than economics background should consult the instructors before registering for this course.
