This comprehensive introduction to economic growth presents the main facts and puzzles about growth, proposes simple methods and models needed to explain these facts, acquaints the reader with the most recent theoretical and empirical developments, and provides tools with which to analyze policy design. The treatment of growth theory is fully accessible to students with a background no more advanced than elementary calculus and probability theory; the reader need not master all the subtleties of dynamic programming and stochastic processes to learn what is essential about such issues as cross-country convergence, the effects of financial development on growth, and the consequences of globalization. The book, which grew out of courses taught by the authors at Harvard and Brown universities, can be used both by advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and as a reference for professional economists in government or international financial organizations. The Economics of Growth first presents the main growth paradigms: the neoclassical model, the AK model, Romer's product variety model, and the Schumpeterian model. The text then builds on the main paradigms to shed light on the dynamic process of growth and development, discussing such topics as club convergence, directed technical change, the transition from Malthusian stagnation to sustained growth, general purpose technologies, and the recent debate over institutions versus human capital as the primary factor in cross-country income differences. Finally, the book focuses on growth policies--analyzing the effects of liberalizing market competition and entry, education policy, trade liberalization, environmental and resource constraints, and stabilization policy--and the methodology of growth policy design. All chapters include literature reviews and problem sets. An appendix covers basic concepts of econometrics.

如果說大多數主流經濟學書籍在討論增長時,總會不自覺地將目光聚焦於西方發達國傢的經驗,那麼這本書的視野則顯得更為廣闊和深邃。作者巧妙地將曆史長河中的不同文明階段——從前工業時代的馬爾薩斯陷阱到近代的“大分流”——整閤到一個統一的分析框架之下。我尤其對其中關於“法律體係的穩健性”與“長期投資意願”之間相互作用的討論印象深刻。書中論證瞭,一個僅僅擁有“良好”法律體係但缺乏執行力的社會,其對長期資本的吸引力,遠不如一個執行力強、哪怕在某些領域稍顯僵硬的體製。這種對“製度質量”進行多維度拆解的努力,極大地深化瞭我對“好政府”與“有效市場”之間復雜關係的理解。它不再是簡單的二元對立,而是一種動態的、相互製約的博弈。這本書的結構設計也十分精巧,它像是層層遞進的迷宮,每一章的結論都為下一章的深入探討鋪平瞭道路,使得最終的理論大廈巍峨而又邏輯自洽,讓人在閤上書本時,有一種對世界運行規律豁然開朗的滿足感。
评分讀完此書,我的感受非常復雜,它既提供瞭強大的理論武器,也帶來瞭深刻的哲學睏惑。作者在構建增長模型時,對於“人力資本”與“技術偏嚮性”的互動關係進行瞭極其細緻的描繪,尤其是在解釋為什麼技術進步在不同時期會對不同技能的工人産生異質性的影響時,書中提供的洞察力是革命性的。然而,這種對效率和增長的極緻追求,也讓我不禁思考:在這樣一個以“最大化長期人均産齣”為目標的分析框架下,那些非功利性的文化價值、社會公平的短期犧牲,或者環境承載力的邊界問題,似乎都被自然地置於瞭次要的地位。盡管本書的目的並非直接探討福利或分配問題,但其所構建的“增長優先”的邏輯鏈條,無形中引導讀者去接受某些短期成本的閤理性。因此,我建議未來的讀者在吸收其對增長機製的深刻見解的同時,也要警惕其潛在的價值取嚮盲區,並嘗試將其理論工具與其他關注可持續性和包容性的分析視角進行交叉參照,纔能形成一個更為全麵和平衡的現代經濟圖景。
评分說實話,初次翻開這本厚重的磚頭書時,我內心是充滿敬畏與忐忑的。這絕不是那種可以輕鬆在咖啡館裏消磨時間讀物,它要求讀者具備一定的數理基礎和對古典經濟學思想流派的背景知識,否則很容易在某些章節迷失在復雜的數學推導和嚴格的定義之中。然而,一旦你成功地穿透瞭開篇那幾層晦澀的理論壁壘,隨之而來的便是知識井噴的快感。作者在構建其核心模型時,展現瞭一種近乎建築師般的嚴謹性,每一個假設、每一個函數似乎都經過瞭韆錘百煉,旨在排除所有不必要的乾擾,直指增長動力的本質。特彆欣賞作者對“知識的非競爭性”這一核心概念的處理,它巧妙地解釋瞭為什麼即使在資源有限的世界裏,人類的財富積纍似乎可以持續下去,這顛覆瞭我過去那種“經濟增長必然會撞上資源瓶頸”的直觀認知。這本書的價值不在於提供一劑速效藥,而在於提供瞭一套頂級的診斷工具,讓你能清晰地辨識齣不同經濟體增長停滯的“病竈”究竟是製度性的缺陷、人力資本的短闆,還是創新生態的枯竭。它挑戰瞭太多簡化的敘事,推薦給那些真正想深入理解財富創造本質的硬核學習者。
评分這本書的書名是《增長的經濟學》。 這本書的齣版,無疑在經濟學界投下瞭一顆重磅炸彈,它以一種近乎冷峻的筆觸,剖析瞭我們這個世界在過去數百年間財富爆炸式增長背後的深層邏輯。作者並沒有滿足於對宏觀數據的簡單羅列與趨勢描繪,而是深入挖掘瞭製度變遷、技術擴散與人力資本積纍這三大核心要素是如何交織作用,共同驅動瞭人類社會從長期停滯到持續繁榮的質變。閱讀過程中,我仿佛被拉入瞭一個巨大的曆史實驗室,目睹瞭工業革命的火花是如何點燃並最終改變瞭全球經濟的版圖。特彆是對於“技術衝擊”的討論,作者沒有停留在技術本身是中性的論斷上,而是精妙地構建瞭一個模型,解釋瞭為什麼某些社會結構更傾嚮於接受、內化並放大技術進步的正麵效應,而另一些社會則可能陷入“技術陷阱”。這種對因果鏈條的追溯和機製的剖析,使得原本抽象的經濟學原理變得觸手可及,充滿瞭現實的張力。它迫使讀者重新審視我們習以為常的“發展”概念,不再將其視為一種自然而然的綫性過程,而是一係列復雜、脆弱且需要精心維護的製度平衡的結果。讀完此書,我對理解當前全球貧富差距的根源,以及未來發展中國傢如何纔能真正實現可持續的、內生的增長,都有瞭全新的、更為紮實的理論框架。
评分這本書的敘事風格,用一個詞來形容就是“冷靜到近乎無情”,它剝離瞭所有關於“發展”的美好願景和政治口號,像一颱精密的顯微鏡,將經濟增長的各個要素分解、分離,並逐一進行力學分析。我尤其關注瞭其中關於“人力資本溢齣效應”的部分,作者並沒有簡單地論證教育的重要性,而是量化瞭受過高等教育的工人如何在不直接轉移知識産權的情況下,通過提高周邊工人的生産效率來間接拉高整個行業的産齣水平。這種細緻入微的界定,使得“投資教育”這一政策主張從一種道德訴求,轉化成瞭清晰的、可量化的經濟迴報預期。當然,這種極緻的理性也帶來瞭一定的閱讀體驗上的挑戰:它很少使用生動的案例故事來佐證觀點,更傾嚮於讓數據和模型自己說話。對於習慣瞭通俗讀物的讀者來說,這可能會顯得有些枯燥和疏離。但反過來看,正是這種剋製,保證瞭其結論的普適性和可靠性。它是一部嚴謹的學術論著,其價值在於為政策製定者提供瞭一套無懈可擊的分析框架,而非提供鼓舞人心的演講稿。
评分development & growth,讀瞭一兩章,完成使命瞭……
评分在展示Neoclassical, AK, product-variety models的同時,用自己最贊同的Schumpeterian models及其變體來組織全書各個主題,太有水平瞭。很多推導的細節沒有細看(看不懂),結論還是可以從直觀上理解。
评分宏觀經濟學
评分最大的感覺就是這本書好像是用word排版的。
