(2024): Reviews the progression of growth models, including the Solow–Swan , Lucas , and Mankiw–Romer–Weil models, highlighting how mathematical precision drives economic theory.
These papers cover the core mathematical methods used to structure economic models, such as optimization and equilibrium. Mathematical Economics
These papers explore how mathematics became the dominant language of economics and the challenges this shift created. (2024): Reviews the progression of growth models, including
: Investigates the "watershed moment" between the 1940s and 1960s when mathematics was formally integrated into the economics curriculum in the United States. including the Solow–Swan
: Modeled as a graduate-level lecture, this paper explains how mathematical concepts like utility functions , fixed-point theorems , and Arrow's impossibility theorem are used to provide a logical framework for economic intuition.
