Showing results for "Creative Destruction" in Politics & Social Sciences

In 1992, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt published "A Model of Growth through Creative Destruction". To honor the 30th anniversary of this publication, Ufuk Akcigit and John Van Reenen organized a four-day zoom seminar, followed-up by a book edited at Harvard University Press on "The Economics of Creative Destruction". More than a hundred renowned economists met from June 9 to June 12 2021 to present and exchange ideas about how the creative destruction framework offers a fresh lens to think about the economy.
