Economic Growth

Economic growth is a long-term expansion of the productive potential

of the economy.
Growth is not the same as development! Growth can support development but the two are distinct.
M. Todaro defines economic development as an increase in living standards, improvement in self-esteem needs and freedom from oppression as well as a greater choice.
Economic development is Concerned with structural changes in the economy, but economic growth is concerned only with increase in the economy’s output.
Economic growth is a necessary but not sufficient condition of economic development.
Economic growth brings quantitative changes in the economy; where as economic development deals with quantitative and qualitative changes in the economy.

Rostow’s Five-Stage Model of Development

Rostow's Stages of Growth model is one

of the most influential development theories of the twentieth century. In 1960, Rostow presented five steps through which all countries must pass to become developed.
Traditional Society: This stage is characterized by a subsistent, agricultural based economy, with intensive labor and low levels of trading, and a population that does not have a scientific perspective on the world and technology.
Preconditions to Take-off: In this stage, the rates of investment are getting higher and a society begins to develop manufacturing.
Take-off: Rostow describes this stage as a short period of intensive growth, in which industrialization begins to occur, and workers and institutions become concentrated around a new industry.
Drive to Maturity: This stage takes place over a long period of time, as standards of living rise, use of technology increases, and the national economy grows and diversifies.
Age of High Mass Consumption: Here, a country's economy flourishes in a capitalist system, characterized by mass production and consumerism.

The slope coefficients can be interpreted as elasticities.
If (α + β)

If (α + β) > 1, we have increasing returns to scale.
If (α + β) < 1, we have decreasing returns to scale.
Both α and β are less than 1 due to diminishing marginal productivity
Interpretation
A rise of 10 % in A raises output by 10%.
A rise of 10% in K raises output by α times 10%.
A rise of 10% in L raises output by β times 10%.
For instance; in Unites States, real GDP has grown an average of 3.6 percent per year since 1950.
Of this 3.6 percent, 1.2 percent is attributable to increases in the capital stock, 1.3 percent to increases in the labor input, and 1.1 percent to increases in TFP.

Diminishing Returns The neo-classical growth theory of Solow (1956) and Swan

Diminishing Returns

The neo-classical growth theory of Solow (1956) and Swan (1956)

postulates that capital accumulations are subject to diminishing marginal returns to capital.
Diminishing returns implies that the amount of extra output from each additional unit of input goes down as the quantity of input increases.
Saving and investment are beneficial in the short-run, but diminishing returns to capital do not sustain long-run growth.
In other words, after we reach the steady state, there is no long-run growth in Yt (unless Lt or A increases).
Слайд 19

Illustrating the Production Function

This figure shows how the amount of

capital per worker influences the amount of output per worker. Other determinants of output, including human capital, natural resources, and technology, are held constant. The curve becomes flatter as the amount of capital increases because of diminishing returns to capital.
Слайд 20

Diminishing Returns If the variable factor of production increases, the output

Diminishing Returns

If the variable factor of production increases, the output will

increase up to a certain point.
After a certain point, that factor becomes less productive; therefore, there will eventually be a decreasing marginal return and average product decreases.

High productivity
Additional capital investment leads to a small effect on productivity
Poor countries tend to grow faster than rich countries.
Even small amounts of capital investment may increase workers’ productivity substantially.
Слайд 21

Catch-up effect (Convergence) Countries that start off poor tend to grow

Catch-up effect (Convergence)

Countries that start off poor tend to grow more

rapidly than countries that start off rich.
Poor countries have the potential to grow at a faster rate than rich countries because diminishing returns are not as strong as in capital-rich countries.
Furthermore, poorer countries can replicate the production methods, technologies, and institutions of developed countries.
The neoclassical approach pioneered by Solow (1956) and subsequently developed by Barrow and Sala-i-Martin (1991, 1995) and Mankiw et al (1992). explains convergence is a result of decreasing returns in physical capital accumulation.
Слайд 22

A second approach explains convergence as resulting primarily from cross- country

A second approach explains convergence as resulting primarily from cross- country

knowledge spillovers.
The process of diffusion, or technology spillover from another country is an important factor behind cross-country convergence.
However, the fact that a country is poor does not guarantee that catch-up growth will be achieved.
The ability of a country to catch-up depends on its ability to absorb new technology, attract capital and participate in global markets, and that is why there is still divergence in the world today.

What causes the differences in income over time and across countries?

What causes the differences in income over time and across countries?

The

Solow growth model shows how saving, population growth, and technological progress affect the level of an economy’s output and its growth over time.
Labor grows exogenously through population growth.
Capital is accumulated as a result of savings behavior.
The capital stock is a key determinant of the economy’s output.
But, the capital stock can change over time, and those changes can lead to economic growth.
In particular, two forces influence the capital stock: investment and depreciation.
Слайд 25

Investment refers to the expenditure on new plant and equipment, and

Investment refers to the expenditure on new plant and equipment, and

it causes the capital stock to rise.
Depreciation refers to the wearing out of old capital, and it causes the capital stock to fall.
The saving rate ‘s’ determines the allocation of output between consumption and investment. For any level of k, output is f(k), investment is s f(k), and consumption is
f(k) – sf(k).
On the other hand, investment per worker (i) can be expressed as a function of the capital stock per worker: i= sf(k)
This equation relates the existing stock of capital ‘k’ to the accumulation of new capital ‘i’.
The capital stock next year equals the sum of the capital started with this year plus the amount of investment undertaken this year minus depreciation.
Слайд 26

Depreciation is the amount of capital that wears out each period

Depreciation is the amount of capital that wears out each period

~ 10 percent/year.
kt+1 =kt +It – δ kt
Change in capital stock= investment-Depreciation
Δk = I- δk
Where Δk is the change in the capital stock between one year and the next.
Because investment I equals sf (k), we can write this as:
Δk = sf(k)- δk
The higher the capital stock, the greater the amounts of output and investment.
Yet the higher the capital stock, the greater also the amount of depreciation.
Слайд 27

Investment, Depreciation, and the Steady state

Слайд 28

The steady-state level of capital K* is the level at which

The steady-state level of capital K* is the level at which

investment equals depreciation, indicating that the amount of capital will not change over time.
Below K* is the level at which investment exceeds depreciation, so the capital stock grows.
Above K*, investment is less than depreciation, so the capital stock shrinks.
In this sense, the steady state represents the long-run equilibrium of the economy.
Слайд 29

The major accomplishment of the Solow model is the principle of

The major accomplishment of the Solow model is the principle of

transition dynamics, which states that the farther below its steady state an economy is, the faster it will grow.
Increases in the investment rate or TFP can increase a country’s steady-state position and therefore increase growth, at least for a number of years.
However, it does not explain why different countries have different investment and productivity rates.
In general, most poor countries have low TFP levels and low investment rates, the two key determinants of steady-state incomes.

Solving Mathematically for the Steady State

In the steady state, investment equals

depreciation and we can solve mathematically for it.
In the steady state: Δk = sf(k)- δk=0
= sf(k) = δk
= sAKαL1-α = δk
= sAL1-α = δK/Kα = δ K1-α
= K1-α = (s AL(1- α))/ δ
= K*= L (s A/ δ) (1/1- α)
In the Solow model, diminishing returns to capital eventually force the economy to approach a steady state in which growth depends only on exogenous technological progress.

Understanding Differences in Growth Rates OECD countries that were relatively poor

Understanding Differences in Growth Rates

OECD countries that were relatively poor in

1960 grew quickly while countries that were relatively rich grew slower.
Solow’s principle of transition dynamics states that the farther below its steady state an economy is, the faster it will grow.
Most poor countries have low TFP levels, low investment rates, and high population growth which are the three key determinants of steady-state incomes.
Countries have more capital because they save a greater part of their income.
Слайд 33

Some Things to Notice The farther the economy starts below the

Some Things to Notice

The farther the economy starts below the steady

state level of capital, the faster the economy initially grows.
Mankiw refers to this as the “catch-up” effect.
This is due to the effect of “diminishing returns”
The amount of extra output from each additional unit of capital goes down as the capital stock gets larger.
If a country is able to increase its productivity, capital will “catch up” quite quickly
Growth slows over time until the capital stock reaches the steady state level.
The Solow model shows that the saving rate is a key determinant of the steady-state capital stock.
However, the rate of saving raises growth only until the economy reaches the new steady state.

Application: Do Economies Converge?

Unconditional (Absolute) convergence (α-Convergence) occurs when poor

countries will eventually catch up with the rich countries resulting in similar living standards.
Conditional convergence (β-Convergence):-It will occur, conditional on a number of factors. In other words, it occurs when countries with similar characteristics will converge (savings rate, investment rate, population growth).
No convergence occurs when poor countries do not catch up over time and living standards may diverge.

Imagine that at the end of their first year, some students

have A averages, whereas others have C averages. Would you expect the A and C students to converge over the remaining three years of college?
The answer depends on why their first-year grades differed. If the differences arose because some students came from better high schools than others, then you might expect those who were initially disadvantaged to start catching up to their better-prepared peers.
But if the differences arose because some students study more than others, you might expect the differences in grades to persist.
Similarly, if two economies have different steady states, perhaps because the economies have different rates of saving, then we should not expect convergence.

According to the traditional neoclassical growth theory:
Output growth results either

from increases in labor, increases in capital, and technological changes.
Closed economies with low savings rates grow slowly in the SR and converge to lower per capita income levels.
Open economies converge at higher levels of per capita income levels.
Traditional neoclassical theory argues that capital flows from rich to poor countries as K-L ratios are lower and investment returns are higher in the latter.
However, in practice, capital flows from rich to rich/poor to rich countries and this is known as the “Lucas paradox.” Why?

Endogenous Growth Theory The neo-classical growth theory of Solow (1956) and

Endogenous Growth Theory

The neo-classical growth theory of Solow (1956) and Swan

(1956) postulates that capital accumulations are subject to diminishing marginal returns to capital.
Endogenous growth theory (Romer, Lucas) emphasizes different growth opportunities in physical capital and knowledge.
Endogenous growth theory predicts diminishing marginal returns to physical capital, but perhaps not knowledge
The long run growth in GDP per capita in Solow model will depend on TFP growth, which reflects technological progress (which is exogenous in the Solow model).
Technology is exogenous implies that it is not determined within the model (it is exogenous)
Слайд 42

Endogenous growth states that long-run economic growth is determined by forces

Endogenous growth states that long-run economic growth is determined by forces

that are internal to the economic system, particularly those forces governing the opportunities and incentives to create technological knowledge.
Endogenous growth theory states technological change arises in large part because of intentional actions taken by people
Endogenous growth theory endogenizes technical change, including human capital, and other forms of knowledge-rich capital in capital stocks.
One drawback of the Solow model is that long-run growth in per capita income is entirely exogenous.
In the absence of exogenous technological growth, income per capita would be static in the long run. This is an implication of diminishing marginal returns to capital.
Слайд 43

To introduce endogenous growth, it is necessary to have increasing (or

To introduce endogenous growth, it is necessary to have increasing (or

at least non-decreasing) returns to capital.
As in the Solow model, technological change fuels growth.
Technological change arises from research and development (R&D).
Endogenous growth theory rejects the Solow model’s assumption of exogenous technological change.
Advocates of endogenous growth theory argue that the assumption of constant (rather than diminishing) returns to capital is more palatable if ‘K’ is interpreted more broadly; i.e., to view knowledge as a type of capital.
Human capital is the accumulated stock of skills and education
Слайд 44

The largest difference between these two economic growth models is that

The largest difference between these two economic growth models is that

the endogenous growth theory argues that economies do not reach stability, as economies achieve constant returns to capital.
Endogenous growth theory asserts that the rate of economic growth is dependent on whether the country invests in technological or human capital.
In the early 1970s, the rate of growth fell in most industrialized countries. The cause of this slowdown is not well understood.
In the mid-1990s, the rate of growth increased, most likely because of advances in information technology.
A key feature of the endogenous growth model is the absence of diminishing marginal returns to human capital.
This absence of diminishing marginal returns leads to unbounded growth in output per worker.
Endogenous growth theory predicts diminishing marginal returns to physical capital, but perhaps not knowledge.

The ‘AK model’ is sometimes termed an ‘endogenous growth

model’
The model has Y = AK
where K can be thought of as some composite ‘capital and labour’ input
Clearly this has constant marginal product of capital (MPk = dY/dK=A), hence long run growth is possible
Thus, the ‘AK model’ is a simple way of illustrating endogenous growth concept
However, it is very simple! ‘A’ is poorly defined, yet critical to growth rate
Also composite ‘K’ is unappealing

Neoclassical growth theory predicts:
Conditional convergence for economies with equal

Un-conditional (absolute) convergence for economies with different rates of savings and/or population growth → steady state level of income differ, but growth rates eventually converge
In the endogenous growth model, two identical countries that differ only in their initial incomes will never converge.

Robert Barro tested these competing theories, and found that:
Countries with higher

levels of investment tend to grow faster.
The impact of higher investment on growth is however transitory.
Countries with higher investment end in a steady state with higher per capita income, but not with a higher growth rate.
Countries do appear to converge conditionally, and thus endogenous growth theory is not very useful for explaining international differences in growth rates.

Summary

International differences in income per person can be attributed to either:

differences in the factors of production, such as the quantities of physical and human capital, or
Differences in the efficiency with which economies use their factors of production.
A final hypothesis is that both factor accumulation and production efficiency are driven by a common third variable: quality of the nation’s institutions , including the government’s policymaking process.
Bad policies such as high inflation, excessive budget deficits, widespread market interference, and rampant corruption, often go hand in hand.

Summary The Solow growth model has emphasized the importance of savings

Summary

The Solow growth model has emphasized the importance of savings or

investment ratio as the main determinant of short-run economic growth.
The neo-classical growth theory of Solow (1956) and Swann (1956) postulates that capital accumulations are subject to diminishing returns.
The long run growth in GDP per capita, will depend on TFP growth, which reflects technological progress.
In the absence of exogenous technological growth, income per capita would be static in the long run.

Technological progress, though important in the long-run, is regarded as exogenous

to the economic system.
The Solow Model predicts catch-up growth (convergence in growth rate) on the basis that poor economies will grow faster compared to rich ones.
One drawback of the Solow model is that long-run growth in per capita income is entirely exogenous.

The Endogenous growth theory believe that human capital and innovation capacity

are the main sources of long-term economic growth.
Human capital is the accumulated stock of skills and education
Unlike Solow model, Endogenous growth theory endogenizes technical change.
Technological change arises from research and development (R&D).
A key feature of the endogenous growth model is the absence of diminishing marginal returns to human capital.
The endogenous growth models suggest that convergence would not occur at all (mainly due to the fact that there are increasing returns to scale).
