Econ 8818 MATHEMATICAL ECONOMICS - DYNAMICS

Fall 1999

Instructor: Professor Frank S.T. Hsiao Office: Economics Building 107, Office Phone: 492-7908

This course will be offered as Independent Studies in Fall 1999 or will be offered again in Spring 2000. Please talk with the instructor.

Objectives: The contents of the course vary over time, depending on the research interests of the students and the instructor. In this semester, the purpose of this course is to provide a comprehensive review of economic growth in the Jong run. Emphasis on theoretical model buildings, mathematical techniques, and empirical applications. Our emphasis is on endogenous economic growth. There will be readings of current papers on the related topics, as suggested below. Major applications will be directed to growth of OECD and East Asian Newly Developing Countries (ANICS)

In the past, topics included Calculus of Variations, Optimal Control Theory, Dynamic Programming, Theory of Optimal Economic Growth, Business Cycle Theory, International Policy Coordination, Theory of Differential Games, Theory of Rational Expectation, Theory of Market Disequilibrium, Chaotic Dynamics and Persistent Oscillations, Dynamic Programming and Macrodynamics.

A recent survey of growth theory and empirical evidence can be found in "The New Growth Evidence," Jonathan Temple, Journal of Economic Literature, March 1999, pp. 112-156. Read this paper at the beginning and the end of the semester. A new journal, the Journal of Economic Growth is now devoted to all aspects of theories and empirics of economic growth (unfortunately, the journal is placed in-the Business Library).

Professor Temple maintains an extensive "Economic Growth Resources" at the Oxford University website, http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk/Economics/Growth/, which contains links to economic growth data sets, journals, institutions, working papers, and references, related to the topics on economic growth. Professor Chad Jones of Stanford University has a shorter website at http://www.stanford.edu/-chadj/growth.html. Many of the references listed below are selected from above sources. Bill Goffe's website on Resources for Economists on the Internet, http://www.rfe.wustl.edu/sc.html, is also a great place to visit. In addition, the data link at Harvard, http://www.economics.harvard.edu/links.html, is also useful. Please acquaint yourself with these websites at the beginning of the semester.

As we may see from the reading list for the class below, the study of economic growth is probably the hottest field in economics today. After all, the ultimate goal of economic science is to improve the material welfare of people or individuals in developed and developing countries, and this is reflected in economic growth. We may say that all other fields in economics "converge" to economic growth.
