内容説明
Introduction to Modern Economic Growth is a groundbreaking text from one of today's leading economists. Daron Acemoglu gives graduate students not only the tools to analyze growth and related macroeconomic problems, but also the broad perspective needed to apply those tools to the big-picture questions of growth and divergence. And he introduces the economic and mathematical foundations of modern growth theory and macroeconomics in a rigorous but easy to follow manner. After covering the necessary background on dynamic general equilibrium and dynamic optimization, the book presents the basic workhorse models of growth and takes students to the frontier areas of growth theory, including models of human capital, endogenous technological change, technology transfer, international trade, economic development, and political economy. The book integrates these theories with data and shows how theoretical approaches can lead to better perspectives on the fundamental causes of economic growth and the wealth of nations. Innovative and authoritative, this book is likely to shape how economic growth is taught and learned for years to come. Introduces all the foundations for understanding economic growth and dynamic macroeconomic analysis Focuses on the big-picture questions of economic growth Provides mathematical foundations Presents dynamic general equilibrium Covers models such as basic Solow, neoclassical growth, and overlapping generations, as well as models of endogenous technology and international linkages Addresses frontier research areas such as international linkages, international trade, political economy, and economic development and structural change An accompanying Student Solutions Manual containing the answers to selected exercises will be available Spring 2009 (978-0-691-14163-3/$24.95).

欧米の大学院でマクロ経済学や経済成長論の定番の教科書。ソローモデルに始まり、新古典派経済成長論、OLGモデル、内生的成長論、方向付き技術変化モデル、技術拡散モデル、そして政治制度モデルなどが扱われる。最初の部では経済成長論を学ぶモチベーション（と基本モデル）が語られ、次の部ではテクニカルな話になり、その次からは本格的に成長論の各種トピックを扱うという構成になっている。飽きずに無理なく読めるだろう。
新古典派経済成長論に向けての準備としてダイナミックプログラミングや制御工学についての章がそれぞれあてられていて、数学的補論が充実している。章末問題もやたら多く、これほど包括的で丁寧な本は類を見ない。政治制度や地理的要因など、他の教科書がしばしば省きがちなトピックに関しても取り上げている。
とにかく経済成長論としては一番オススメです！

MIT教授のacemogluによる成長理論のテキスト。成長理論に限らず、マクロ分析に必要なダイナミックプログラミングや最適制御理論、数学の付録まで付いてあります。一冊でこの分野を網羅しており、読破すれば胸を張って専門家を名乗れるでしょう。
ただし、数学はとても高度。凸解析などに不安を抱える人は痛い目を見ます。数学的にはRobert Barro and Sala-i-Martinの"Economic growth"の方が易しく、直感的な説明も多いです。
またダイナミックプログラミングが取っ付きにくい場合は、Adda and Cooperの"Dynamic Economics: Quantitative Methods and Applications"が分かりやすいです。

Excellent; a must-have for those interested in growth theory
2009/6/29
形式:ハードカバー
It's sad to see how this forum is used by "geniuses" such as Thornstein Veblen (who probably hasn't read the book) to write uninformative reviews that make no sense. I guess the profound influence that Acemoglu has had on economists across the world as well as the John Bates Clark medal granted to him by the American Economic Association in 2005 speak for themselves...
Now let's move to the book (which is what these reviews are supposed to be about):
I've had the opportunity to go through the book carefully and I think it is hard to find an economics textbook that is as comprehensive and self-contained as this one.
The first part convincingly motivates what the most important open questions in the study of economic growth are. It even touches on topics such as institutions, and geography which many growth textbooks often ignore.
The chapters in parts I-III are very useful for teaching an intermediate course in Economic Growth, with very detailed and rigorous explanations of the formal arguments. I loved the fact that he takes the time to go through some of the details of the proofs which is very helpful both for students and teachers.
Parts IV-VIII contain more advanced material on very relevant topics such as technology, trade, and political economy. I especially liked part VIII on the Political Economy of Growth which only a textbook written by Acemoglu, who has made some of the most recent substantial contributions to this field, could include.
Last but not least, I am sure students will be very thankful for the very detailed Mathematical Appendices that level the field (to some extent) for students with different mathematical backgrounds.
In sum, I totally recommend this textbook to both intermediate and graduate students interested in the study of economic growth. Only an economist who has made contributions to some of the topics covered in the book could write such a great textbook.

Great Breadth

The book is excellent for its extensive coverage. In addition to discussing growth models, as the title suggests, it includes discussions about the tools used to solve these models. Such topics inlude the theory of optimization in both continuous and discrete time. However, for extensive treatments of dynamic programming and continuous time optimization, there are better books devoted to those topics alone, however, it is nice to have the important results all in one book.
Another nice feature of the book is the discussion of the fundamental theorems in a variety of settings. It is really convenient to have these, along with detailed proofs, in the same book that covers specific growth models.
Having said that, the most important thing is that there is a very solid treatment of economic growth, both from an empirical and theoretical perspective. Most of the recent developments are given at least some discussion and excellent motivation. To have all of these covered in one book is really amazing, and the author ties it all together very nicely.
I find the exercises to be crucial for understanding new material, with some being easy and others quite difficult. I think this book is a must have for graduate students who want to get there feet wet in growth theory.

Your best companion
2009/7/14
形式:ハードカバー
Here is how good this book is. I recently moved and, upon organizing my economics books on my bookshelves, I had a truly hard time figuring out where to put Acemoglu's Introduction to Modern Economic Growth.
It could be beside my other growth theory textbooks, which will have to accept their place as just timid predecessors of this amazingly comprehensive and yet equally pedagogical volume. Or, given its excellent treatment of Dynamic Optimization Methods, I could place it by the couple of best graduate-level Macroeconomic and Macroeconomic Methods textbooks around. Even placing it along my Microeconomics textbooks did not seem far-fetched; Acemoglu truly conveys much of the intricacies of General Equilibrium Theory with a clarity I have not found elsewhere. And then, of course, the Mathematical Appendix has been such a useful constant reference since I have the book, that I could well put it together with my Mathematical Economics books.
As a young economist, I have no doubt that this book will be a great companion in the years to come and I recommend it to anyone who is passionate about economics.
