Growth theory is one of the most important branches of
macroeconomics. With the emergence of the 'new' growth theory,
human capital accumulation and its role on economic growth has been
placed at the forefront of the research in macroeconomics. In this
book, we have analysed several theoretical aspects related to the
human capital accumulation and endogenous economic growth.In
chapter 1, we have presented a survey of the existing theoretical
literature on the role of human capital accumulation on endogenous
economic growth. Since this is a vast literature, we have surveyed
only those theoretical works which have been developed adopting the
framework of Lucas (1988). In chapter 2, we have extended the Lucas
(1988) model in two directions. Chapter 3 sheds light on the
relationship between human capital accumulation and environmental
quality. In chapters 4, 5 and 6 of the present book, we have
developed growth models of a dual economy in which human capital
accumulation is viewed as the source of economic growth and in
which dualism exists in the mechanism of human capital accumulation
of the two types of individuals- the rich and the poor.
