Identifying the Next High-Growth Economies
Walsh, Kieran J.; Roberts, AnthonyTechnical Note DARDEN-GEM-0169-EEconomicsThis note is an introduction to using macroeconomics in evaluating the long-term growth prospects of emerging markets. Methodologically, it is an application of growth theory, the Solow model in particular, and it gives students the opportunity to practice reading and interpreting the data of international macroeconomics. The textbook Solow growth model and its basic extensions align well with how investors and policymakers think about forecastin...Starting at €8.20

Determinants of Economic Growth
Saffie, FelipeTechnical Note DARDEN-GEM-0202-EEconomicsEconomic growth is a recent phenomenon in human history. This technical note explores this phenomenon in detail, examining the work of Nobel laureate Robert Solow, whose growth model is the dominant paradigm for practitioners when evaluating countries' growth prospects. For math-oriented readers, this note pairs well with a companion technical note, "Determinants of Economic Growth: Supplemental Note" (UVA-GEM-0204).Starting at €8.20
