ECON-2202 Macroeconomia 3

This course is an introduction to the modern theories of growth. It goes beyond the neoclassical model of economic growth and studies models based in the intertemporal choices of consumption-savings, labor-leisure and education-labor participation. It also deals with the role of factors such as accumulation of human capital, technological innovation and absorption of existing technologies in the long-term economic development. Finally, students will get into detail about the endogenous transition of a Malthusian stage to a modern time of sustained economic growth and the role of demographic transition.
