Economic Growth (Critical Concepts in Economics)

Economic growth is a well-established and flourishing area of research and study, and this new four-volume collection in Routledge's Critical Concepts in Economics series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to enable users to make better sense of its voluminous literature. Indeed, the sheer scale of the research output -- and the breadth of the field -- makes this anthology especially welcome. It provides a one-stop collection of classic and contemporary contributions to facilitate ready access to the most influential and important scholarship from a wide range of perspectives.Economic Growth is edited by Oded Galor (Brown University, USA) , the leading scholar in the field, and topics covered include: growth models (such as neoclassical, endogenous, and overlapping generations) ; income distribution and growth; human capital and growth; fertility and growth; trade and growth; development and growth; migration and growth; political economy and growth; and economic fluctuations.With a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, Economic Growth is an essential collection and is destined to be valued by advanced students and researchers as a vital one-stop resource.
