Introduction to Economic Growth

This test is probably the only reliable way for a non-economist to get introduced to modern economic growth theory. The explanations are clear, the progression logical, and the authors impose a standard notation that ties together a wide range of growth theories.You will need some math - perhaps even more than is covered in the brief appendix - to get full benefit from the book, but that's because a lot of the value comes from using the book as a home base for excursions into the actual studies and controversies covered in the text.I return to this volume repeatedly, and always learn something It's both an introduction and a reliable companion to the complex literature surrounding the subject of economic growth.

This text is intended for undergrads and I'm a grad student, currently using Romer's Advanced Macroeconomics. That text isn't as dense as most others of graduate level, but I'm using this text as a base because Dr. Jones writes MUCH more clearly than the average text-book authoring economist. I wish he'd write graduate level texts. Too bad he's in CA. I'd love to sit in in one of his seminars because if he lectures the way he writes, it would be a fabulous, CLEAR experience.

Same book as newer edition. It does not have updated graphs and some questions are not in same order but the content of the book is still the same. Good material.

Small print, small book! Explains things well enough.

This is a excellent book about the economic growth theory. I've read excellent books as "Economic Growth" by R. Barro, "Advanced Macroeconomics" by David Romer and "Endogenous Growth Theory" by Philippe Aghion, the principal problem is the level, if you don't have notions about economic growth theory, you'll have problems to understand. Charles I. Jones wrote a excellent introduction about all the modern economic growth theory. I recommend this book amply.

Excellent condition, excellent book, very low wear and tear, fantastic content and useful for beginners, intermediate and advanced levels of growth

one of my favorite books in economics

Best introductory book on growth for undergraduates. Simple, eloquent, and covers most important topics.
