The new growth theory and development economics: A survey
综述了增长经济学与发展经济学的关系,指出新增长理论为两者对话提供了可能,但理解跨国增长差异仍需借鉴发展经济学的概念。
Since their emergence as distinct fields of inquiry in the early post‐Second World War period there has been an uneasy relationship between growth economics and development economics. The emergence of a richer ‘new growth economics’ has opened up the possibilities of a more fruitful dialogue between the two subdisciplines. In spite of recent advances, particularly with respect to the human capital, an understanding of differences in growth rates and income levels across countries remains elusive. Further advances will require that growth economists broaden their research agenda to embrace a number of concepts that have become conventional in development economics.
