  We investigate the back reaction of cosmological perturbations on the
evolution of the Universe using the renormalization group method. Starting from
the second order perturbed Einstein's equation, we renormalize a scale factor
of the Universe and derive the evolution equation for the effective scale
factor which includes back reaction due to inhomogeneities of the Universe. The
resulting equation has the same form as the standard Friedman-Robertson-Walker
equation with the effective energy density and pressure which represent the
back reaction effect.
