The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to long term analysis of economies, specifically questioning the determinants of economic growth. Students are trained to apply methods to study dynamic economic systems. Moreover, the course offers the possibility to understand how economists test the empirical plausibility of their theories, while illustrating the mutual influence between academic thought in economics and the making of economic policy.
