| Content | How do population dynamics and economic growth interact? We start with an introduction to neoclassical growth theories to study the way population alters economic dynamics during the period of modern growth. Then, we turn to the historical perspective and investigate the interplay of population and economic dynamic in the era of stagnation. Finally, the lecture series introduces to unified theories of economic growth modelling the endogenous transition from stagnation to sustained growth to study the role of populations during the transition. |
| Learning objectives | 1. Introduction to (neoclassical) growth theories, 2. Basics skills in continuous and discrete time dynamical general equilibrium models, 3. Numerical applications. |
