in a Solow Growth Model Thomas Bassetti† ∗ Abstract In this paper, we study the effect of education on economic growth. In particular, we show how education may generate nonlinearities in the process of economic growth.

This will allow us to identify the conditions under which a poverty trap may arise in a Solow growth model. As we will

THE ROLE OF PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW IN THE WTO: HOW FAR CAN WE GO? By Joost Pauwelyn* How does the World Trade Organization (WTO) relate to the wider corpus of public international law?

INTRODUCTION The United States had emerged from the Second World War as a relatively unified, powerful and confident nation.

The US entered the postwar era as a creditor nation producing almost half of the world's manufactured goods with every indication of continuing technological
