Foundations of Growth
In this project we are concerned with basic questions on innovation and economic growth to foster the general understanding of how innovation and economic growth can be modelled. In particular, we are concerned about the following issues:
- How can codification of knowledge be modelled and embedded into growth models?
- How can a society achieve optimal levels of knowledge codification?
- How can knowledge diffusion be modelled and embedded into growth models?
- How does the rise of Artificial Intelligence affect economic growth?
