Abstract The aim of this paper is to examine a complex pattern of mutual interdependence between Unified Growth Theory (subroutine) and the evolution of the entire field of economic growth theories (main routine) from a philosophical and methodological perspective. The analysis utilises the recently introduced concept of research routine (and respectively, subroutine) aimed at an explanation of the evolution of scientific research. The study identifies the influence of the subroutine (and its specific concept of demographic transition) on the core concepts of the main routine: human capital, population growth and learning. The results are based on network analyses of extensive bibliometric evidence from Scopus and the Web of Knowledge.

经济增长理论的动力：统一增长理论的影响

摘要本文旨在从哲学和方法论的角度研究统一增长理论（子程序）与整个经济增长理论领域（主程序）之间相互依赖的复杂模式。该分析利用了最近引入的研究程序（和子程序）的概念，旨在解释科学研究的发展。该研究确定了子程序（及其人口统计学过渡的特定概念）对主要程序的核心概念的影响：人力资本，人口增长和学习。结果基于对来自Scopus和Web of Knowledge的大量文献计量证据的网络分析。
