Endogenous economic growth is a macroeconomic phenomenon in permanent disequilibrium. Ignorance of both aspects has led conventional theory to build models and theories that, although they enjoy formal rigor, do not adequately respond to three problems: 1) the explanation of the exponential growth of GDP per capita; 2) the Harrod instability dilemma; 3) scale problems related to doubly exponential growth. This article presents the new book by Luis Lorente, where a new paradigm is built that allows the integration of real and monetary aspects in a growth theory led by process innovations in permanent disequilibrium. This theory adequately responds to the three problems stated. In this way, new methods are provided to understand and explain the economic dynamics of really existing capitalist economies.

In this article, Lauchlin Currie clarifies the macroeconomic theory of Allyn Young's “increasing returns", which influenced Currie's policy proposals for Colombia. His theory arises from Adam Smith's classical emphasis on how competition and mobility extend the size of real reciprocal market supply and demand (sharply differentiated from inflationary monetary demand). From this arises, endogenously, greater specialization as a primary source of self-sustaining growth, through the mutual diffusion of external economies. On the other hand, other endogenous theories emphasize the internal economies of scale and greater input of labour and capital -whose contributions are measured by their income-, technical progress driven by protectionism and monopolistic profits.

According to Weil (2009) one of the stylized facts of the international economic growth is a positive association between savings rates and per capita income levels. This paper proposes a new interpretation of this fact by a Solow-type model but expanded with a hypothesis of a positive influence of the capital on the savings rate. The model thus amended, a "quasi-Solow" model, can generate the case of "endogenous growth" or the case of exogenous growth, either case depending on the specific value that takes a parameter of the savings rate function. The main conclusion is this: a model of economic growth which, in essence, is a "solownian" one, as the model described in these pages, may be useful to interpret a process of economic growth through the very long time.

One of the themes of major interest for the theory of endogenous growth is technological change, and its effect on growth. However, this has traditionally been studied from the perspective of private enterprise. In this work, on the other hand, the role of government as an agent for generating technological change has been incorporated into the theory of growth. Initially, the conditions -in the context of a determining situation- are established, in which the government can generate a technological change. The macroeconomical equilibrium is characterized, and the impact on economic welfare is analyzed. Thereafter, the same hypothesis is incorporated into a stochastic growth model: equilibrium is established, and once again the effect on welfare is analyzed. In both cases, the same results with respect to the positive impact of government as an agent for producing technological change in growth and economic welfare are shown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the framework of a monetary economy with labor and debt (public and private), the effects of government as a promoting agent to boost up technological change are studied. Through a model of endogenous growth, the growth rates of all sectors are characterized in the perfect foresight equilibrium. Moreover, the impact on economic welfare of taxes and government spending to impulse technological change is assessed. Finally, in a simulation exercise, the initial optimal level of government spending (which maximizes welfare), in which the government should incur to adequately address technological change, is examined.

This study develops an endogenous growth model in which the government intervenes in the generation of technology. In the framework of a monetary economy the optimum amount of government spending is characterized to promote the technological level, and, as a consequence, economic growth. Meanwhile, it analyzes the impact that this spending has on economic welfare. Finally, some recommendations are made for industrial policy, oriented towards increasing the marginal product of capital. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This document develops an endogenous growth model in which it is possible to obtain a positive long run growth rate by combining investment in human capital and the endogenous advance of technological knowledge. The model shows the complementary characteristics of the two kinds of knowledge and implies the abandonment of the competitive equilibrium model because of the non-rival nature of technological knowledge. The model also shows the presence of multiple equilibria and the requirement of a central planner for some of them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
