The purpose of the workshop is to study recent work in the Economics of Growth, both theory and empirical, for graduate students interested in this subject.

Our plan is to have weekly meetings. Each week we will discuss a different paper that will be presented by a graduate student. All participants must read the papers in advance.

All attendees must participate – no free riding is allowed. Papers for discussion will be chosen by graduate students and by faculty. Below we present a sample of some papers we think will be relevant.

All participants should read Lant Pritchett's article on modern growth theory.
