The Uzawa–Lucas model is an economic model that explains long-term economic growth as consequence of human capital accumulation. Developed by Robert Lucas, Jr., [1] building upon initial contributions by Hirofumi Uzawa, [2] it extends the AK model by a two-sector setup, in which physical and human capital are produced by different technologies.

Nobel economist Robert Lucas proposed measuring the cost of business cycles as the percentage increase in consumption that would be necessary to make a representative consumer indifferent between a smooth, non-fluctuating, consumption trend and one that is subject ...
