This book provides an in-depth treatment of the overlapping generations model in economics incorporating production. It analyzes competitive equilibria and dynamics, optimal allocations, and various policy issues. The first chapter investigates existence, uniqueness, and stability of equilibrium as well as capital dynamics. The second chapter analyzes optimality of allocations using value functions and conditions. Later chapters discuss policy issues like transfers, pensions, spending, and debt sustainability. The book emphasizes global dynamics, general preferences and technologies, and tools for policy analysis involving intergenerational transfers.
A Metaindex of Development (MoD)
Marco Morosini, ETH Zurich
DRAFT - 2008
To be submitted to Social Indicators Research Abstract
A Metaindex of Development (MoD) for the 30 OECD countries was obtained through the country average rank in ten established international indices covering themes associated with development in industrialized countries: people and ecosystem wellbeing, human development, economic competitiveness, economic freedom, economic equality, information technology, environmental sustainability, gender gap, press freedom, corruption perception. The Metaindex answers the question: when development or relevant elements of it are measured, which OECD countries are more often in the top, in the middle or in the bottom ranks?
Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Canada, Netherlands, Australia and Ireland are the top ten countries in the Metaindex ranking in 2006. These countries have a small population (10 millions in average) and seven of them are thinly populated. Compared with the next twenty countries, they have in average the lowest worldwide levels of corruption and the highest levels of press freedom, taxation, environmental stewardship and diffusion of information technology. Eight of the top ten countries rank in the top ten positions in the OECD ranking of satisfaction with life. G8 countries are in the middle of the Metaindex ranking, with Canada best placed (8) and Italy worst (25). The two best correlating rankings with the Metaindex ranking are those of the Corruption Perception Index (0.931), which appears to be the best proxy for development in the OECD countries, and of satisfaction with life (0.866).
Key words: development, metaindex, composite indicators, indices, OECD
The document discusses how perception of reality can be enhanced in MBA education through the use of multi-screen video technology. It argues that reality in business and economics is determined by debates from multiple perspectives, not a single paradigm. It describes experiments using multiple screens in MBA courses to fulfill the school's learning goals of collaborative work, recognizing socio-economic issues, and developing leadership skills for an uncertain world. The experiments paired presentations with videos, images and remote collaboration. Students recognized multi-screen tools helped discussion of current events and developing viewpoints to handle uncertain situations through exposure to different opinions.
This document provides an overview and syllabus for an advanced macroeconomics course at Harvard University. The course will use dynamic optimization tools and models to analyze important macroeconomic policy issues such as growth, fiscal and monetary policy, consumption and investment, and business cycles. It will combine theoretical techniques with real-world applications and current policy debates. The course is divided into five sections covering growth models, overlapping generations models, consumption and investment, business cycles, and fiscal and monetary policy. Students will be evaluated based on a midterm, problem sets, and a final exam. Required readings draw from textbooks and academic articles.

The document provides information about the author's hometown of Pamplona-Navarra, Spain. It describes Pamplona-Navarra as located in northern Spain, with a friendly town that has lots of history and green spaces and is known for its cathedrals, museums, castle, and festivals like San Fermin where people wear white with a red handkerchief. The author attends Virgen del Camino college in Pamplona-Navarra, which opened 50 years ago, where they are studying mechanic production which involves workshop hours in the first year and an apprenticeship in a factory for the second year.
The document discusses that the value of technology is not just about apps, but how people configure platforms and connect them together in new ways to solve specific problems. It notes that niche user groups can deliver more value than mass production models. Structuring configurations can help with re-use while still allowing for expression. The most important things are learning from each other and sharing stories of both success and failure.
This document presents an alternative account of the productivity slowdown in the United States since the mid-1960s. It argues that declining work intensity and lagging business innovation, which have been overlooked by conventional economic analyses, provide crucial clues. The authors develop a "social" model of productivity growth integrating technical and social factors. An econometric test shows their model can account for almost all of the productivity slowdown. The analysis raises issues for further research but provides a promising approach to solving the puzzle.
This document defines and discusses distance education. It provides two definitions: 1) Distance education is a formal educational process where instruction occurs when the student and instructor are not in the same place, employing technologies like correspondence, audio, video, or computer. 2) Distance education offers opportunities for learners to overcome time and place barriers to education through communication and evaluation by specialists. Distance learning is seen as more flexible for learners who control their learning without needing the instructor. The document traces the history of distance education from correspondence education in the 1700s using printed materials and letters, to today's use of technologies like videoconferencing.
This document discusses the biblical story of Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt after disobeying God's command not to look back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. It warns that one should allow God to rescue them and not look back in defiance. It references God's destruction of these sinful cities as well as his rescue of the righteous man Lot as examples of God's ability to save the godly from harm but punish the wicked. The moral is to trust in God's deliverance and not give in to temptation or defiance that could lead to one's downfall.
The document outlines different career levels or "titles" within a company for developers, from Padawan to Master II. Each level lists the required programming languages, exam scores, education, and skills needed to qualify for that level. Higher levels provide opportunities to lead teams, take on projects, and help other developers improve their skills. The goal is to create a collaborative culture where employees feel like part of a family and society, focusing on selflessness, kindness, and fun.
The document summarizes information from a field trip interview about how a family lives in Myanmar. The family runs a small shop selling groceries. Their main food is rice with curries. They have three young children and help their parents with chores and the shop. Transportation includes school buses and trishaws, which cost less than 1,000 kyats depending on distance. The children receive medals from school that their family treasures.

This document summarizes an academic paper about the origins of uneven economic development between India and Britain from the 17th century to Indian independence in 1947. It presents a theoretical model showing how small initial differences in capital accumulation between two regions can lead to increasing specialization through trade, with one region industrializing while the other declines. It argues this helps explain India's relative economic stagnation under British colonial rule from 1757-1947, as British policies disrupted India's manufacturing industries and shifted its trade to primary goods exports and imports of British manufactures. While various factors contributed, these policies may have exacerbated India's deindustrialization according to the theoretical framework presented. The document considers some counterarguments but maintains British rule likely reduced India's
Bridge is a card game that has been played for over a century around the world. It originated from Whist and developed further in the early 20th century. Playing bridge provides cognitive benefits such as improving memory, logic, decision making, and reducing the risk of Alzheimer's. It can be played by people of all ages and has been recognized as a sport by the International Olympic Committee.
The document provides information about life in the Torres Strait Islands located between Australia and Papua New Guinea.

Latin America has been strongly affected by the international crisis and recession since late 2008. In comparison to historical experience, how has Latin America coped with the global crisis, which has been the role of different transmission mechanisms, and how have the region's structural and policy conditions affected its sensitivity to foreign shocks? Moreover, what policies can protect the region better from world crises and shocks, and to which extent should it rely on a strategy of close trade and financial integration into a world economy punctuated by shocks and crises? This paper addresses the latter questions in three steps. First, by assessing empirically the sensitivity of growth in the region's seven major economies during 1990-2009 to large number of structural and cyclical factors, based on high-frequency panel-data estimations. Second, by using the latter results to decompose the amplitude of GDP reductions in both recessions according to the individual and combined contribution of the different growth factors. Third, to derive the main implications of the results for the choice of macroeconomic regimes and development strategies.

This document provides an overview of the scope and method of economics. It discusses why economics is studied, including to learn a way of thinking, understand society and global affairs, and be an informed citizen. It outlines the key fields of microeconomics and macroeconomics and various subfields of economics. It also explains the difference between positive and normative economics and how economics uses theories and models to understand relationships between economic variables.
Intrduction to macroeconomics - Unitedworld School of BusinessArnab Roy Chowdhury
Macroeconomics is the study of the economy as a whole, including factors such as national income, output, employment, inflation, and trade balances. It analyzes the aggregate effects of individual economic actions. Microeconomics looks at individual decision-making, while macroeconomics examines economy-wide outcomes that emerge from individual choices. Macroeconomists use simplified models to make predictions and design policies to improve economic performance at a national level. The goals of macroeconomic policy include achieving full employment, price stability, economic growth, and reducing poverty.

Modern economics is a discipline of social science concerned with the distribution, production, and consumption of goods and services. The focus here is on making decisions and allocating resources. Studies human behavior in accordance with the belief that people are rational and seek the most significant possible benefit or usefulness. Applied economics relies on a thorough understanding of the workings of the economy.

The document provides an outline for an economics course covering microeconomic and macroeconomic concepts. It includes:
1) 6 chapters that will cover the nature of economics, demand and supply theories, consumer behavior, production and costs, market structure, and fundamental macroeconomic concepts.
2) Each chapter is further broken down into sections that will be taught, such as the definition of economics, scarcity and choice, economic systems, and the circular flow model.
3) The course aims to enable students to use economic tools to analyze micro and macroeconomic issues and answer questions about resources, demand, production, and markets.
Macroeconomics is the study of the economy as a whole, including factors such as national income, output, employment, inflation, and trade balances. It focuses on aggregate supply and demand and macroeconomic policies. Microeconomics examines individual decision-making and market interactions, while macroeconomics analyzes economy-wide phenomena. Models are used in macroeconomics to simplify complex realities, make testable predictions, and inform policies to improve performance regarding goals like growth, employment, and stability.

The document provides an introduction and executive summary of a briefing report on the new economics of sustainable development. It discusses:
1) The new economics movement aims to develop new ideas for organizing a sustainable economy in response to signs that continued industrial growth could lead to disaster. It brings a more radical perspective than mainstream views on sustainability.
2) The briefing aims to outline the background, principles, and key policy implications of the new economics, and their connection to sustainable development. It indicates their application to important policy fields and framework policies to promote sustainability.
3) Governments and agencies will face increasing pressure to align their policies with sustainability, through systemic and synergistic policies rather than fragmented approaches. As the new economics perspective
This document proposes a new social media model to help lower and middle classes during economic crises. It suggests that a targeted social network or search engine could provide users with resources and assistance for everyday needs like work, education, banking, and healthcare. By changing algorithms to prioritize lower costs and better conditions, the tool could help users reduce total costs by up to 70%. The author argues this new model represents a major market opportunity to support economically vulnerable groups through sharing principles and independent, verified information on the social media platform.
La Unión Europea ha acordado un embargo petrolero contra Rusia en respuesta a la invasión de Ucrania. El embargo prohibirá las importaciones marítimas de petróleo ruso a la UE y pondrá fin a las entregas a través de oleoductos dentro de seis meses. Esta medida forma parte de un sexto paquete de sanciones de la UE destinadas a aumentar la presión económica sobre Moscú y privar al Kremlin de fondos para financiar su guerra.
This paper proposes a theoretical model to distinguish between "reproductive cycles" and "nonreproductive cycles" and explain their relationship to long economic expansions and crises. The authors define a reproductive cycle as one where a economic downturn restores conditions for rapid economic growth, while a nonreproductive cycle requires fundamental changes to institutions. They argue long expansions are characterized by reproductive cycles that sustain profitability, while long crises feature nonreproductive cycles that lead to stagnation until a new social structure of accumulation is established. The authors present evidence that business cycles function differently depending on whether it is an expansion or crisis period of the long swing in economic activity.
- The document discusses using an aggregate production function to isolate the effects of technical change on output over time.
- It presents a method for estimating an index of technical change (A(t)) based on time series data for output per worker, capital per worker, and the share of capital, using the assumption that factors are paid their marginal products.
- The method is applied to U.S. data from 1909-1949 to generate an estimated index of technical change, which increased steadily over that period.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
La Unión Europea ha acordado un paquete de sanciones contra Rusia por su invasión de Ucrania. Las sanciones incluyen restricciones a las transacciones con bancos rusos clave y la prohibición de la venta de aviones y equipos a Rusia. Los líderes de la UE esperan que las sanciones aumenten la presión económica sobre Rusia y la disuadan de continuar su agresión contra Ucrania.
This document summarizes an article titled "Increasing Returns and Long-Run Growth" by Paul M. Romer. It proposes an economic growth model where knowledge is assumed to have increasing marginal productivity, unlike standard models that assume diminishing returns. The key aspects of the model are: 1) Knowledge exhibits increasing returns in production but decreasing returns in creation; 2) Knowledge spillovers create externalities; 3) The model can generate unbounded long-run growth without exogenous technological change. The model aims to explain how long-run growth rates may increase over time and initial conditions can have permanent effects, challenging standard neoclassical assumptions.
This document discusses the concept of increasing returns and economic progress. It begins by noting that while economists have developed complex models to analyze industries with increasing returns, these models can obscure more general aspects of the phenomena. It argues that the growth of indirect or roundabout production methods, enabled by greater specialization and division of labor, is a key source of increasing returns. However, the extent of these returns depends on the size of the market, as larger markets allow for greater specialization and use of capital-intensive production methods. While rationalization may improve efficiency, the fundamental driver of economic progress is the expansion of markets that comes from overall economic growth and development.

This document summarizes a paper by Richard R. Nelson and Sidney G. Winter titled "The Schumpeterian Tradeoff Revisited". It discusses Joseph Schumpeter's view that competition between firms involves research and development and innovation, and that technological progress provides greater long-term gains to society than competitive pricing. It also discusses the "Schumpeterian Hypothesis" that market power and large firms are necessary for rapid technological advancement, representing a tradeoff between static efficiency and dynamic innovation. The document outlines the authors' model of Schumpeterian competition and how it examines the relationship between technological change, market structure, and industry performance under different conditions.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help alleviate symptoms of mental illness and boost overall mental well-being.
This document is a response by Nicholas Kaldor to criticism from Professor Wright regarding Kaldor's previous work on economic methodology and models of business cycles. Kaldor argues that Wright misunderstood the purpose of analytical models, which is to isolate causal factors, not prove hypotheses as absolutely "true". Kaldor also defends using simplified assumptions and examples to illustrate essential features, noting more realistic assumptions were introduced later. While acknowledging room for improvement, Kaldor maintains Wright failed to demonstrate any logical flaws or inconsistencies in the work.
This document summarizes an article titled "Increasing Returns and Long-Run Growth" by Paul M. Romer. It proposes an alternative model of long-run economic growth where knowledge, rather than physical capital, is the main driver of growth. Knowledge exhibits increasing marginal returns in production but decreasing returns in research and development. This allows for perpetual economic growth without limits in a competitive market equilibrium framework. The model overturns conventional assumptions that growth rates decrease and countries converge over time by introducing externalities from new knowledge and increasing rather than diminishing returns to knowledge accumulation.
This document summarizes a paper about the relationship between capital accumulation, the rate of economic growth, and employment. It makes the following key points:
1) For a capitalist economy to maintain full employment, national income must grow at a rate that matches the combined rate of growth of the labor force and productivity.
2) Investment increases both productive capacity and generates income, so examining growth from the investment perspective may help determine the equilibrium growth rate needed.
3) If investment proceeds at rate I per year, and each $1 invested increases productive capacity by amount s, then new projects will increase potential output by Is annually. However, the overall economy's capacity may increase by less if new projects require transferring labor from
This document summarizes an academic paper that examines how increasing returns to scale in industry can allow for unlimited economic growth even with diminishing returns in agriculture. It presents a model of an economy with three sectors: agriculture, manufacturing, and investment goods. Agriculture has constant returns to scale while manufacturing and investment goods have increasing returns at the plant level. The model analyzes short, medium, and long run equilibriums under different assumptions about factor supplies and returns to scale. The key finding is that large enough increasing returns in investment goods can outweigh decreasing returns in agriculture, allowing overall growth without constraints from agricultural productivity.
This document summarizes a paper that aims to test the hypothesis that accurately measured real product and real factor input growth can fully explain observed total factor productivity growth. It defines key economic concepts like production functions, real product, real factor input, and total factor productivity. It also outlines the authors' methodology for developing a system of social accounts to more accurately measure real product and real factor input, thereby providing an empirical test of the hypothesis.
This document provides a critical analysis of Thirlwall's formal presentation of Kaldor's model of growth and development. It develops its own formal Kaldorian model with two sectors (agriculture and industry) and analyzes the underlying dynamics and equilibrium conditions. The key points made are:
1) Thirlwall's specification of the industrial sector assumes non-competitive pricing through markups, which is inconsistent with the rest of the model that assumes perfect competition.
2) The model assumes full capacity utilization in both sectors, which is also inconsistent with Kalecki's markup pricing theory that Thirlwall references.
3) The paper argues the model's dynamics and stability cannot be properly analyzed using
