Abstract
This paper surveys new growth theory with emphasis on three open issues known from old endogenous growth theory of the sixties: i) What is the content of the black-box variable 'technology'? ii) Which market structure prevails when endogenous technology generates dynamically increasing returns? iii) What are the justifications for and implications of different specifications of production functions for technical progress? We show that new growth theory has made progress on the first two problems but almost none with respect to the third.
