Inhalt Why are some countries richer than others? What enables certain economies to sustain high growth rates for decades, while others suffer from economic stagnation? Does the scarcity of natural resources constrain economic growth? These are longstanding questions of interest to economists. This course offers an overview of the known answers. We begin by exploring the engines of economic growth: capital accumulation (both physical and human) and productivity improvements. Specifically, we investigate the extent to which variations in income across countries can be attributed to differences in human and physical capital accumulation, and how research and development can drive sustained productivity growth through technological improvements. We then delve into the deeper determinants of cross-country differences in accumulation and productivity, including the impact of institutions and geography.
