I model life expectancy in terms of physical and human capital and technology, the fundamental economic variables described by economic growth theories. For concreteness, the Solow model and a convergence club growth model ...

Utilizamos regresiones de crecimiento adaptadas como pruebas de causalidad de tipo Granger para obtener evidencia fuerte de que una fuerte causalidad de la salud al ingreso, para una base de datos de dieciocho países ...

We construct a multi-country Schumpeterian growth model in which technological change can occur either through research and development or through implementation. R&D requires a threshold level of human capital that depends ...
