Growth Theory and Technical Change
The Selected Essays of Ryuzo Sato Volume One
9781858984940 Edward Elgar Publishing
This important volume collects together eighteen major essays written by Ryuzo Sato over the last thirty years in the area of growth theory and technical change.
After an autobiographical introduction describing Professor Sato’s intellectual and personal development, the book presents his early pioneering work on growth models and the relevance of fiscal policy and time in these models. Later essays focus on the application of optimal control theory to growth theory, his work on endogenous growth, endogenous technical change and the development of ''Sato–Beckmann neutrality''.
