Endogenous Verses Exogenous Growth Theories

To overcome this shortcoming, several growth models have been developed that make growth an endogenous variable. In contrast to neoclassical growth theory, endogenous growth theory argues that policy measures (such as subsidies on R&D and education) can have an increase long-run growth rate of an economy.
