Endogenous growth theory

The endogenous growth theory developed a little over two decades ago puts technological innovation at the vanguard of explanations of differences in living standards across economies and time. This calls attention to features such as imperfect competition, economies of scale, creative destruction, and produce widespread policy implications. Using empirical analyses and literature gathered from various resources, I aim to try and address the problem of scale effects on growth. As it is the most

while others poor. This is a question about economic growth. Take Korea for example. Korea had been divided into North and South Korea since 1948. These two countries share nearly the same geography, history and culture. However, the GDP per capita in the South Korea is only 3.22% of the South Korea. Another phenomenon is that the rapid growth had been observed in East Asian in recent years. This is another key economic issue: whether the growth rate of poor economics are higher than developed ones

economic growth. In the history of the development of economic growth theories, there are three important stages which are the Classical Growth theory, the Neoclassical Growth theory and the Endogenous Growth theory. To start with, the Classical Growth theory is based on the Keynesian theory and the representative one is the Harrod–Domar model. It was put forward by Roy F. Harrod in 1939 and Domar in 1946. This is the first economic growth model, changing the research on economic growth from the

attention to the solow model and the AK model of economic growth. The differences and similarities in these growth models will be critically assessed with the use of empirical evidence to explain the real world economic growth patterns. The solow model is ‘a theory that analyses growth as being driven by exogenous technological change and the accumulation of factors of production’ (burda&wyplosz 2013 p561). ‘The AK model is an endogenous growth model it explains the sustainable by exogenous technological

Introduction: Economists have always been asked why and how economic growth exists in a world filled with so much disparity between the richest and the poorest. First we need to define economic growth as that which is measured by change in real income per capita(Parker, 2015). Arguably Adam Smith was one of the first economists to develop a sound theory of the classical free market in his piece The Wealth of Nations written in 1776. Much has changed since the 1700s across the world horizons. Things

Model of economic growth, which assumes the neoclassic production function of decreasing returns to capital. Solow proposed the model while considers the rate of saving and population growth as exogenous and demonstrated that the countries reach the steady state level of income per capita. However, the classical Solow model is not able to explain cross-country variation in the standard of living. The Solow model predicts the effect of saving and population growth on economic growth qualitatively but

Introduction The article “have your cake and eat it” in The Economist, it talks about the economic growth of different countries with regards to the political system operating in the different countries. The main point discussed in the paper is that evaluating the

For more than three decades the Neoclassical and the Endogenous Growth theories were arguing and forwarding economic reasons on trend of economic growth through investment as a general and private investment

some countries do not see the same benefits of this phenomenon as other countries. One country that has seen a heavy influx of foreign direct investment is India. This paper briefly addresses both the positive effects of FDI on India and looks at the growth of GDP in India’s economy. It concludes that FDI has transformed India’s economy and will continue to transform it. From this research, it will give a deeper
