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.

[ citation needed ] Conversely, policies that have the effect of restricting or slowing change by protecting or favouring particular existing industries or firms are likely, over time, to slow growth to the ...

Endogenous growth theory started with Paul Romer's 1986 paper, [24] borrowing from Arrow's 1962 "learning-by-doing" model which introduced a mechanism to eliminate diminishing returns in aggregate output. [5] [25] A literature on this theory has developed subsequently to Arrow's work. [26]
