In 1992, Professors Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt published their seminal paper "A Model of Growth through Creative Destruction". To mark the thirtieth anniversary of this defining model of economic research, and more generally of the work of these two macroeconomists and their contributions to various fields of economics, Ufuk Akcigit and John Van Reenen are organizing a four-day seminar on zoom, to be followed by a main publication.
