Heterogeneity across Agents and Economic Growth

This project focuses on interactions between heterogeneity across economic agents and economic growth. Heterogeneity may stimulate economic activities and induce growth. Thus, it is reasonable to ask what type of heterogeneity would be important for higher growth. Inversely, higher (lower) economic growth would bring different impacts on heterogeneity (or inequality). We will figure out theoretically and empirically the relationship and causality between heterogeneity and economic growth. Understanding their interactions should be relevant information for economic or industrial policymaking.
