The Solow Model, Poverty Traps, and the Foreign Aid Debate
评论了索洛模型、经济发展、贫困陷阱以及对外援助的相关文献，探讨了贫困国家是否陷入贫困陷阱以及增加援助的论据。
For almost thirty years the Solow model experienced relative neglect within the field of development economics. However, since the mid-1980s the neoclassical growth model has been at the heart of the debate among economists interested in the important issues of growth, development, and convergence. More recently, the case for increasing foreign aid to sub-Saharan Africa has reemerged and has been linked to the Solow model via the hypothesis that many poor countries are caught in a poverty trap. This paper provides critical commentary on the literature relating to the Solow model, economic development, poverty traps, and the case for foreign aid.
