40134-01 - Vorlesung: Environment and Technical Change in Endogenous Growth Theory | Master | 3 KP

The course aims at making a broad overview of the methods to model interactions of technical change and environment in modern growth theory. It mainly consists of discussion of research papers starting from 1960s till recent findings in the area. Such concepts as green growth, cleaner technical change, endogenous structural change, double dividend hypothesis are studied within the course.

The exposition tries to be fairly mathematically rigorous, but aims on informal representation of the theory. Some knowledge in growth theory and dynamic optimization would be an asset but are not required for the course. Vorlesungsverzeichnis
