Work
Galor has made significant contributions to the study of income distribution and economic growth, the transition from stagnation to growth, and human evolution and economic development. He has made other significant contributions to the study of development traps, the demographic transition, and the advancement of the foundations of overlapping-generations models.
Galor has founded the field of unified growth theory which models the growth process over the entire history of the human species. Moreover he has pioneered research on the interaction between human evolution and economic development. His latest involvement has been to understand the deep determinants of economic growth over the long run - primarily the effect of genetic diversity on income growth.
In 2010, Galor published a textbook on Discrete Dynamical Systems; and in the following year of 2011, authored a definitive textbook on Unified Growth Theory.

“... my last work is no sooner on the stands than letters come, suggesting a subject. The grandmothers of strangers are crying from the grave, it seems, for literary recognition; it is bewildering, the number of salty grandfathers, aunts and uncles that languish unappreciated.”
