Growth and development \u2013 Programme 2024-25<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proff. S. Cesaratto and R. Pariboni<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sample of examination tests part A (as you can see the questions are more or less always the same) Esempi di test passati<\/a><\/p>\n

Please check also\u00a0 prof.Pariboni’e web page https:\/\/docenti-deps.unisi.it\/riccardopariboni\/growth-and-development\/ for updates on his section of this course.<\/p>\n

Part I (prof. Sergio Cesaratto) updated 3 October 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prof. Cesaratto will introduce first some stylised facts concerning economic growth in a very long-run (millenarian) perspective. He will next introduce the main alternative theories (classical, marginalist, Keynesian) that constitute the background for the growth model exposed by prof. Pariboni in the second half of the course.<\/p>\n

The main (but not exclusive) reference to prepare part I of the exam is Sergio Cesaratto, Heterodox Challenges in Economics \u2013 Theoretical Issues and the Crisis of the Eurozone<\/em>, Springer, 2020 http:\/\/www.springer.com\/9783030544478<\/a> (chapters below refer to this book)<\/p>\n

(Italian students can use the Italian edition: Sei lezioni di economia<\/em>, Dairkos, 2019; Spanish speaking students can use the Spanish edition: Cesaratto, S. (2021) Seis lecciones de econom\u00eda<\/em>, El Viejo Topo, https:\/\/www.elviejotopo.com\/libro\/seis-lecciones-de-economia\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The main problem with this course in the last years has been the discontinuity in the attendance especially by Erasmus students. Continuity is essential.<\/p>\n

The program will be updated over the next month, so please consult the web page of the course often, also for other communications, results of the exams, events, etc.<\/p>\n

Here is our agenda, lecture by lecture<\/strong> (below the details and references). NB after the difficult beginning of the course (mainy due to the students’ discontinuous attendance), tye course has been reorganised. 2 October 2024. Here is the new schedule. I have simplified the programme accordingly.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Introduction and some secular growth stylised facts; 2. Population; introduction to the classical surplus approach; 3. Surplus approach (Ricardo); 4. Surplus approach in Marx (and relation to Say’s Law, mercantilism); 5. Marginalism; 6. the Keynesian revolution; 7. BoPs and the foreign constraint; 8.Endogenous money and monetary policy; 8. The European crisis (as an example of BoP crisis); 9. monetary policy in the Eurocrisis; 10. Intermediate test.<\/p>\n

Detailed programme<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The facts on growth, development, and population: past, present, future (mainly home work).<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We shall start by examining some stylized facts on economic development over the last two millenniums. The exposition will be very quick and student are required to some (easy) work at home.<\/p>\n

    2. Background economic theories<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In section 2 we shall revise the main economic theories which influence our views of economic growth and development. Alternative growth models examined by prof. Pariboni are based on these theories.<\/p>\n

    A mail from a young German collegue:<\/p>\n

    Dear professor Cesaratto,<\/em><\/p>\n

    you handed me a copy of your introductory book “Heterodox Challenges in<\/em>
    \nEconomics” at the Centro Sraffa Summer school in Rome. I just wanted to<\/em>
    \nthank you again for that and let you know, that it is of great use for<\/em>
    \nme. I will let the students in my seminar on “theory of science and the<\/em>
    \ncritique of political economy” this term read some parts of your book.<\/em>
    \nAlso I included Krishna Bharadwaj’s paper on classical political economy<\/em>
    \nand Lazzarini’s paper on the cambdridge capital controversy, that you<\/em>
    \nrecommended in your book, into the syllabus. <\/em>I think, it is really very important to try and explain scientific <\/em>theories for a broader audience. Not only does that make economics<\/em>
    \naccessible for the public – it also facilitates the interdisciplinary<\/em>
    \nexchange between economics and sociology and helps to avoid further<\/em>
    \nmisunderstandings on both sides.<\/em><\/p>\n

    I hope, that mail finds you well and wish you a pleasant fall term!<\/em><\/p>\n
