Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study showed that Torrens’ theory of economic growth was characterized by the Ricardian model of dynamic equilibrium growth, and that he was one of the creators of the Ricardian model of international trade and his discussions on trade might be involved in reconsidering Ricardo’s original theory of trade. The debate over trade policy between Torrens and his antagonists was outlined in the first joint research. In the other joint research on general stagnation, we pointed out the originality of Torrens’ theoretical contribution to the general glut controversy.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements
