The last 50 years in growth theory and the next 10
Open accessAbstract
This article offers a personal view of the main achievements of (broadly) neoclassical growth theory, along with a few of the important gaps that remain. It discusses briefly the pluses and minuses of two major recent lines of research: endogenous growth theory and the drawing of causal inferences from international cross-sections, and criticizes the widespread contemporary tendency to convert the normative Ramsey model into a positive representative-agent macroeconomic model applying at all frequencies. Finally, it comments on the articles appearing in this symposium.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
