" Barro and Sala-i-Martin's valuable and readable book brings the student quickly to the frontiers of modern growth theory." --Robert E. Lucas, Jr., John Dewey Distinguished Service Professor, The University of Chicago, 1995 Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences

" Barro and Sala-i-Martin have done a superb job of synthesizing much of the existing theoretical and empirical research on the mechanisms and determinants of economic growth and convergence. Though it incorporates much new material, this updated version is fully accessible to a third year undergraduate student, while remaining of invaluable use to any research scholar seriously interested in growth and development economics." --Phillipe Aghion, Department of Economics, Harvard University
