OverviewThe Handbook of Economic Growth provides a broad review of the research topics, empirical findings, and methods that comprise modern growth economics. The chapters, written by research leaders, summarize and evaluate recent advances while explaining where further research might be profitable. With analyses that are provocative and controversial because they are so directly relevant to public policy and private decision-making, this volume upholds the standard for excellence in applied economics set by Volumes 1A and 1B (2005).

The excitement, richness, and creativity of the field of economic growth could not have been conveyed more brilliantly. --Francesco Caselli, London School of Economics The literature on economic growth remains as vibrant as ever! Aghion and Durlauf have assembled a great collection of papers testifying to this truth, on topics including the Industrial Revolution, the role of institutions, the interplay between health and growth, globalization, and the stunning growth of China. --Chad Jones, Stanford University An indispensable overview of inspiring recent developments in the field of economic growth, underlying the long shadow of history in comparative economic development. --Oded Galor, Brown University We have come to know through the experience of many countries over decades that growth is complex and multi-dimensional. Volume 2 of the Handbook of Economic Growth is a very useful and comprehensive assessment of our knowledge of growth and its determinants. By viewing growth through multiple lenses, it admirably captures the richness of the subject. --Michael Spence, New York University Volume 2 is as splendid in its breadth as Volume 1 was admirable in its depth.
