菲利普·阿吉翁 是法兰西学院和欧洲工商管理学院教授，​​伦敦经济学院客座教授，计量经济学会和美国艺术与科学院院士。他的研究重点是增长经济学。他与 Peter Howitt 一起开创了所谓的熊彼特增长范式，该范式随后被用于分析增长政策的设计以及国家在增长过程中的作用。这项工作的大部分内容在他们的合著《内生增长理论》（麻省理工学院出版社，1998 年）和《增长经济学》（麻省理工学院出版社，2009 年）、他与雷切尔·格里菲斯（Rachel Griffith）关于竞争与增长的著作（麻省理工学院出版社，2006 年）和他的调查“我们从熊彼特增长理论中学到了什么”（与 U. Akcigit 和 P. Howitt 联合）。 2001 年，Philippe Aghion 获得了 45 岁以下欧洲最佳经济学家 Yrjo Jahnsson 奖，2009 年获得了约翰·冯·诺依曼奖，2020 年 3 月，他与 Peter Howitt 分享了 BBVA“知识前沿奖”以创造性破坏过程中出现的创新为基础的经济增长理论”。最近，Philippe Aghion 与 C. Antonin 和 S. Bunel 合作出版了一本名为《创造性破坏的力量》的新书（Odile Jacob，哈佛大学出版社）。在重新评估经济成功的基础和变革蓝图的同时，《创造性破坏的力量》还表明，公平和繁荣的未来最终是我们要创造的。

The Economics of Growth pdf 菲利普·阿吉翁

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.
