d'apprentissage
The aim of this course is to teach to the students how and when to use the building blocks of modern growth theory. These are taken from two different approaches: the first one considers that agents have an infinite hori-zon. The second one analyzes the case of an economy in which agents have finite lives ( overlapping genera-tions models ).
Contenu Contents Precise contents to be defined by the teacher. Method The principle is to reach quickly an advanced level. The emphasis is put on an in depth understanding of some models rather than on covering a broad range of topics. Exercises and home works are assigned to students, and a feedback is provided during the course on their solution.
