2004), Alternative theories on economic growth and the coevolution of macro-dynamics and technological change: A survey, LEM Working Paper 2003/28

This paper aims to propose an approach to endogenous growth considering the relationship between macro-dynamics and technical change. We draw upon two streams of literature: Cumulative cau-sation and its macroscopic view of economic dynamics, and Evolu-tionary economics and its focus on micro-determinants of technical change. This paper presents a survey of the formal representation of the growth process and identifies the possible bridges between these two approaches. Our claim is that merging these two distinct theo-ries might offer a framework to consider the co-evolution of macro-dynamics and technical change. JEL Classification: O30, O4
