Sobre el 'Nobel' de economía a Paul M. Romer
Palabras clave:
Nobel, Romer, crecimiento económicoResumen
La teoría del crecimiento “endógeno”, capitaneada por Paul M. Romer, reavivó el interés de la economía convencional por el efecto de las variables tecnológicas e institucionales en el desarrollo de largo plazo, al incorporar una explicación del incremento de la productividad y justificar la importancia del ahorro y la intervención pública como determinantes en la tasa de crecimiento. Sin embargo, los modelos “endógenos” han resultado difíciles de validar empíricamente y parecen particularmente expuestos a las críticas de exceso de formalismo y falta de claridad conceptual que el propio Romer ha dirigido recientemente contra el resto de la macroeconomía marginalista.
