1st Short Course: “Empirical Methods in Economic Growth” (July 3-6, 2013)

Course Description

The course will be combining a thorough review of the literature (both theoretical and empirical) along with state-of-the-art econometric analysis of the issues. The course will include in the empirical part a self-contained discussion of nonparametric techniques and their application to estimating nonlinearities in human capital and economic growth. The issue of nonlinearities has recently emerged as one of the most salient features of empirical work in the modelling of economic growth at large. We will apply nonlinear estimation techniques to a comprehensive data set on determinants of economic growth. The course aims to target students who would like a comprehensive exposure to the theoretical and empirical aspects of the human capital-economic growth nexus.
