Growth Questions• What factors caused some countries to grow fast
and others to grow slow over periods such as 1960 to 2000? In particular, why did the East Asian countries do so much better than the sub-Saharan African countries?
• How did countries such as the United States and other OECD members sustain growth rates of real GDP per person of around 2% per year for a century or more?
• What can policy makers do to increase growth rates of real GDP per person?

Y = A· F(K, L)
A Technology Level
K Capitol Stock – machines and buildings used by business.
L Labor Force – number of workers

Constant Returns to Scale
Double K and L and Y will also double
Therefore, if we multiply K and L by the quantity 1/L we also multiply Y by 1/L to get
Y/ L = A· F( K / L, L/ L)

Contributions to GDP Growth
∆Y/Y = ∆A/ A + α·(∆K/K) + β·(∆L/L)
The growth rate of real GDP, ∆Y/Y, equals the growth rate of technology, ∆ A/A, plus the contributions from the growth of capital, α·(∆K/K), and labor, β ·(∆L/L).

Contributions to GDP Growth∆Y/Y = ∆A/A + α·(∆K/K) + β·(∆L/L)
0 < α < 10 < β < 1
α + β = 1Share of capital income (α) + share of labour
income (β) = 1

Solow Growth ModelLabor force, L = ( labor force/ population) · population
Labor-force participation rate
Assume labor force participation rate is constant.
Labor force growth rate is the population growth rate

Solow Growth ModelModel ignores:GovernmentNo taxes, public expenditures, debt, or moneyInternational TradeNo trade in goods or financial assets

Solow Growth ModelAssume ∆A/A = 0
∆Y/Y= α·(∆K/K) + (1−α)·(∆L/L)
The growth rate of real GDP is a weighted average of the growth rates of capital and labor.

Solow Growth ModelC+ s· ( Y− δ K) = C+ I − δ K
or
s· ( Y− δ K) = I − δ KReal saving = net investment

Solow Growth ModelY = C + IReal GDP = consumption + gross investment
Y− δ K = C + ( I − δ K)Real NDP = consumption + net investment

Solow Growth Model ∆k/k = s·(y/k) − sδ − n
∆y/y = α·(∆k/k)
∆y/y = α·[ s·( y/k) − sδ − n]

Solow Growth Modelsteady state.When k = k∗, ∆k/k equals zero.∆k/k = 0, k stays fixed at the value k∗.
y* = f(k*)

Solow Growth Model
Y/K =(Y/L) / (K/L)
Y/K = y/k

Solow Growth Model
In the steady state, ∆ k/k equals zero.s· ( y*/ k*) − sδ − n= 0
s·( y* − δ k*) = nk*
Steady-state saving per worker = steady-state capital provided for each new worker

Beatriz Orestra’s Story

"You know, we're not used to this, not having enough food," said Orresta, with a hint of embarrassment in her voice.She paused, and began to weep."You can't know what it's like to see your children hungry and feel helpless to stop it," she said.
––Beatriz Orresta

"The food is there, in the grocery store, but you just can't afford to buy it anymore. My husband keeps working, but he keeps bringing home less and less. We never had much, but we always had food, no matter how bad things got. But these are not normal times."
––Beatriz Orresta
