Aid Volatility and Poverty Traps
Agénor, Pierre-Richard; Aizenman, Joshua - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2007
This paper studies the impact of aid volatility in a two-period model where production may occur with either a traditional or a modern technology. Public spending is productive and "time to build" requires expenditure in both periods for the modern technology to be used. The possibility of a...

Knowledge and growth in the very long run
Strulik, Holger - Center for European, Governance and Economic … - 2012
This paper proposes a theory for the gradual evolution of knowledge diffusion and growth over the very long run. A feedback mechanism between capital accumulation and the ease of knowledge diffusion explains a long epoch of (quasi-) stasis and an epoch of high growth linked by a gradual economic...

The history augmented Solow model
Dalgaard, Carl-Johan; Strulik, Holger - Center for European, Governance and Economic … - 2013
Unified growth theory predicts that the timing of the fertility transition is a key determinant of contemporary comparative development, as it marks the onset of the take-off to sustained growth. Neoclassical growth theory presupposes a take-off, and explains comparative development by...
