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.

这本书的叙事风格,用一个词来形容就是“冷静到近乎无情”,它剥离了所有关于“发展”的美好愿景和政治口号,像一台精密的显微镜,将经济增长的各个要素分解、分离,并逐一进行力学分析。我尤其关注了其中关于“人力资本溢出效应”的部分,作者并没有简单地论证教育的重要性,而是量化了受过高等教育的工人如何在不直接转移知识产权的情况下,通过提高周边工人的生产效率来间接拉高整个行业的产出水平。这种细致入微的界定,使得“投资教育”这一政策主张从一种道德诉求,转化成了清晰的、可量化的经济回报预期。当然,这种极致的理性也带来了一定的阅读体验上的挑战:它很少使用生动的案例故事来佐证观点,更倾向于让数据和模型自己说话。对于习惯了通俗读物的读者来说,这可能会显得有些枯燥和疏离。但反过来看,正是这种克制,保证了其结论的普适性和可靠性。它是一部严谨的学术论著,其价值在于为政策制定者提供了一套无懈可击的分析框架,而非提供鼓舞人心的演讲稿。
评分这本书的书名是《增长的经济学》。 这本书的出版,无疑在经济学界投下了一颗重磅炸弹,它以一种近乎冷峻的笔触,剖析了我们这个世界在过去数百年间财富爆炸式增长背后的深层逻辑。作者并没有满足于对宏观数据的简单罗列与趋势描绘,而是深入挖掘了制度变迁、技术扩散与人力资本积累这三大核心要素是如何交织作用,共同驱动了人类社会从长期停滞到持续繁荣的质变。阅读过程中,我仿佛被拉入了一个巨大的历史实验室,目睹了工业革命的火花是如何点燃并最终改变了全球经济的版图。特别是对于“技术冲击”的讨论,作者没有停留在技术本身是中性的论断上,而是精妙地构建了一个模型,解释了为什么某些社会结构更倾向于接受、内化并放大技术进步的正面效应,而另一些社会则可能陷入“技术陷阱”。这种对因果链条的追溯和机制的剖析,使得原本抽象的经济学原理变得触手可及,充满了现实的张力。它迫使读者重新审视我们习以为常的“发展”概念,不再将其视为一种自然而然的线性过程,而是一系列复杂、脆弱且需要精心维护的制度平衡的结果。读完此书,我对理解当前全球贫富差距的根源,以及未来发展中国家如何才能真正实现可持续的、内生的增长,都有了全新的、更为扎实的理论框架。
评分读完此书,我的感受非常复杂,它既提供了强大的理论武器,也带来了深刻的哲学困惑。作者在构建增长模型时,对于“人力资本”与“技术偏向性”的互动关系进行了极其细致的描绘,尤其是在解释为什么技术进步在不同时期会对不同技能的工人产生异质性的影响时,书中提供的洞察力是革命性的。然而,这种对效率和增长的极致追求,也让我不禁思考:在这样一个以“最大化长期人均产出”为目标的分析框架下,那些非功利性的文化价值、社会公平的短期牺牲,或者环境承载力的边界问题,似乎都被自然地置于了次要的地位。尽管本书的目的并非直接探讨福利或分配问题,但其所构建的“增长优先”的逻辑链条,无形中引导读者去接受某些短期成本的合理性。因此,我建议未来的读者在吸收其对增长机制的深刻见解的同时,也要警惕其潜在的价值取向盲区,并尝试将其理论工具与其他关注可持续性和包容性的分析视角进行交叉参照,才能形成一个更为全面和平衡的现代经济图景。
评分说实话,初次翻开这本厚重的砖头书时,我内心是充满敬畏与忐忑的。这绝不是那种可以轻松在咖啡馆里消磨时间读物,它要求读者具备一定的数理基础和对古典经济学思想流派的背景知识,否则很容易在某些章节迷失在复杂的数学推导和严格的定义之中。然而,一旦你成功地穿透了开篇那几层晦涩的理论壁垒,随之而来的便是知识井喷的快感。作者在构建其核心模型时,展现了一种近乎建筑师般的严谨性,每一个假设、每一个函数似乎都经过了千锤百炼,旨在排除所有不必要的干扰,直指增长动力的本质。特别欣赏作者对“知识的非竞争性”这一核心概念的处理,它巧妙地解释了为什么即使在资源有限的世界里,人类的财富积累似乎可以持续下去,这颠覆了我过去那种“经济增长必然会撞上资源瓶颈”的直观认知。这本书的价值不在于提供一剂速效药,而在于提供了一套顶级的诊断工具,让你能清晰地辨识出不同经济体增长停滞的“病灶”究竟是制度性的缺陷、人力资本的短板,还是创新生态的枯竭。它挑战了太多简化的叙事,推荐给那些真正想深入理解财富创造本质的硬核学习者。
评分如果说大多数主流经济学书籍在讨论增长时,总会不自觉地将目光聚焦于西方发达国家的经验,那么这本书的视野则显得更为广阔和深邃。作者巧妙地将历史长河中的不同文明阶段——从前工业时代的马尔萨斯陷阱到近代的“大分流”——整合到一个统一的分析框架之下。我尤其对其中关于“法律体系的稳健性”与“长期投资意愿”之间相互作用的讨论印象深刻。书中论证了,一个仅仅拥有“良好”法律体系但缺乏执行力的社会,其对长期资本的吸引力,远不如一个执行力强、哪怕在某些领域稍显僵硬的体制。这种对“制度质量”进行多维度拆解的努力,极大地深化了我对“好政府”与“有效市场”之间复杂关系的理解。它不再是简单的二元对立,而是一种动态的、相互制约的博弈。这本书的结构设计也十分精巧,它像是层层递进的迷宫,每一章的结论都为下一章的深入探讨铺平了道路,使得最终的理论大厦巍峨而又逻辑自洽,让人在合上书本时,有一种对世界运行规律豁然开朗的满足感。

评分就看了四章,写得很清楚,推导一类比较充分。
评分在展示Neoclassical, AK, product-variety models的同时,用自己最赞同的Schumpeterian models及其变体来组织全书各个主题,太有水平了。很多推导的细节没有细看(看不懂),结论还是可以从直观上理解。
