This monograph is aimed at students, PhD students and academics who wish to expand their knowledge of macroeconomic growth models and ma- thematical methods for modelling them. The original Solow model and its extensions are presented, both those that are already well established in the literature and more recent ones that study the impact of spatial effects in the economy or the problem of natural (non-renewable) capital. Keynesian and evolutionary economics models are also presented, which examine the mechanisms responsible for cyclical phenomena in the economy.

Researches of the Institute of Economics, Finance and Management of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków and the Department of Mathematics of the Kraków University of Economics, as well as PhD students of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, participated in its preparation.
