3 Output per capita (constant USD) 25,000 What makes countries rich? A Tale of Two Countries 20,000 The average income on a Japanese person 15,000 10,000 5,000 The average income on a Ghanaian person
4 By 1996, Japan had 19 times the income of Ghana Three-quarters of Ghanaians have no access to health care; all Japanese do. Forty percent of all Ghanaians do not have clean drinking water; all Japanese do. Half of all Ghanaian women cannot read; all Japanese women can. Ghanaian mothers are 91 times more likely to die in childbirth than Japanese mothers.
5 Growth experiences are heterogeneous across countries
6 What are the engines of economic growth? The full picture is complicated and involves many different aspects. Next two lectures build up a complete picture. Focus first on just one factor - capital accumulation. Increases in the stock of physical capital (buildings and machinery). Stress many other things important not least how efficiently this capital stock is used. Capital is just a starting point.
7 Production function Output produced Buildings and machinery Labour input Technical knowledge and efficiency This lecture focuses on first input capital accumulation
8 How does capital accumulation work? How does increasing the capital stock lead to higher output? The marginal product of capital (MPK) is the increase in output that comes from increasing the capital stock leaving everything else unchanged The MPK can be : decreasing (Solow neoclassical model) each new machine adds less than the last constant (Endogenous Growth I AK) each new machines adds the same as the last increasing (Endogenous Growth II Poverty Trap) each new machine adds more than the last
9 THE RETURN ON CAPITAL Diminishing Marginal Product of Capital Return on Capital (MPK) 0 < < 1 = () () = = A(/) Capital
10 THE RETURN ON CAPITAL Constant Marginal Product of Capital Return on Capital (MPK) = 1 = K = = A Capital
11 Return on Capital (MPK) THE RETURN ON CAPITAL Diminishing Marginal Product of Capital > 1 = () () = = A() () Capital
12 The neoclassical MPK Assumptions about MPK purely technological no economics involved. Different assumptions may be needed for different technologies. We stick on decreasing returns - neoclassical production function with 0 < < 1 and k = = capital per capita: = = A() Remark: Different assumptions lead to dramatically different implications. What would cross country growth patterns look like if MPK were initially increasing and then became decreasing?
13 The neoclassical production function Output per worker y { k } y 2 = { k } y1 y > y 1 2 Capital per worker
14 Will countries which invest more grow faster? Ultimately - No Short Term - Yes In long-run, investment affects only level not growth of output. To show this we need to add some economics to our technology assumption need to introduce investment.
15 The Solow growth model Production: = ( ) ( ) Capital accumulation: = (1 ") +$ "= depreciation rate; $ = investment $ = Savings = constant fraction s of income: $ = s = & ( ) ( ) Thus, capital obeys to: = (1 ") +& ( ) ( )
16 The Solow growth model: steady state = (1 ") +& ( ) ( ) Assuming for now constant and. In per capita terms: = 1 " +& ( ) Steady-state is defined as: = = " = & ( ) Steady-state capital and output per worker: = ( () * )/() ; = ( )
17 Steady-state capital stock per worker Steady state investment per worker + = " + = & Capital per worker
18 Convergence to the steady state When capital stock is low: Each new machine leads to a big increase in gross output The amount of output needed to replace machines that have worn out is low As a result net output increases with the capital stock When capital stock is (too) high: Each new machine leads to a small increase in gross output Every period a substantial part of output is needed to replace machines that have worn out Eventually net output decreases with capital stock Key to these results is decreasing marginal return on capital.
19 Higher savings increase the steady-state capital stock Steady state investment per worker + = " Higher & + = & Capital per worker
20 Investment Rate and Level of Per Capita Real GDP Log(GDP per capita) in Average Investment Rate Source: PWT
21 Savings or Investment? We are using investment and savings interchangeably If a country cannot borrow from overseas then its savings has to equal investment. Most countries do not borrow much from overseas (as a % of GDP) so savings and investment closely linked. When country borrows I > S but then it has to repay funds so S>I. Therefore on average I = S When country can borrow abroad (I > S, convergence towards steady-state can happen faster.
22 Higher TFP increases the steady-state capital stock Steady state investment per worker $ = " Higher $ = & Capital per worker
23 Optimal consumption and welfare A high savings rate leads to high income but low consumption A low savings rate leads to low income but high consumption Consumption per worker in the steady-state:, = (1 &) ( ) = (1 &)( & " )/() - + The Golden rule - level of savings that maximizes consumption in the steady state. Simple calculations suggest that optimal rate around 30-35% of GDP

26 The Solow growth model: dynamics Steady-state: = ( () * )/() Dynamics: = 1 " +& ( ) = -( ) with = -( ) Convergence: converges to. As approaches, the growth rate of (and output ) decreases. The further away from a country is, the faster it grows.
27 Dynamics of the capital stock per worker = = -( ) 45.

29 Implications of the neoclassical growth model 1. Countries always eventually reach their steady state 2. In the steady state/long run growth only comes from TFP. Countries at their steady state no longer grow from capital accumulation. Think of the OECD economies as those at their steady state. 3. Richer countries should grow slower than poorer ones: Higher returns on investment in poorer countries. Emerging markets are moving towards a steady state and growing fast. According to this story we would expect countries to catch up with economically most advanced nations

32 Output per worker growth (/ 0 ) dynamics / 0 Everything else equal, countries starting further away from their steady-state capital stock are growing at at a faster pace. Zero growth from capital accumlation.
33 Do countries converge? According to the Solow neoclassical growth model, poorer countries (in terms of capital stock per worker should) grow faster. Does it hold in the data? Investigate link between future growth and initial income per capita.
34 Do countries converge? The Evidence - Round I: The World 12 Average GDP growth rates GDP per Capita 1970, USD If economies converge then expect negative correlation : countries with high GDP in 1970 should grow more slowly as capital earns a low return. Source: PWT
35 Do economies converge? The evidence - Round II: OECD Evidence for convergence is much stronger
36 Do economies converge? The evidence Round III: The States
37 Do economies converge? The evidence - Round IV: Japanese Prefectures
38 Do economies converge? The evidence - Round V: European Regions
39 Do economies converge? The evidence - Round VI: canadian provinces
40 The Iron Law of Convergence On average 2% of the gap between poor and rich countries that are similar vanishes in a year. Very slow - takes 35 years to eliminate half of the initial output gap.
41 Reconciling the evidence When we look at all economies no evidence of convergence. When we examine very similar countries strong evidence of convergence. How can we explain this mixed evidence concerning convergence? - take into account that steady states can differ across countries!
42 Conditional convergence Neoclassical Solow model does not predict convergence unconditionally. Everything else equal, countries with lower capital stock should grow faster. Countries with same steady-state should converge = conditional convergence In particular, countries with lower TFP (or lower savings) should not catch-up. Importance for growth is distance from steady-state which can be different across countries.
43 Conditional convergence: an illustration Which country should grow faster? Steady state investment per worker $ = " & 12 = & & Initial conditions: < 12 = < < Capital per worker
44 Conditional convergence Only when countries share the same steady state should we see convergence. Explains why only see evidence for convergence amongst similar countries. Explains why many African countries do not catch up with Europe/U.S. Suggests that wealthier economies will persistently stay wealthier, but within wealthier economies should see evidence of catch up. The big question is what determines a countries steady state?
45 Estimating the steady state Convergence implies that growth increases with distance form steady-state: Don t have data on Y SS but assume GDP Growth = b (log(y SS )-log(y(0))), b>0 log(y SS )= a1 x Education + a2 x Health + a3 x Investment And can estimate for a cross-section of countries: GDP growth = b x (a1 x Education) + b x (a2 x health) + b x (a3 x Investment) b Y(0) If b> 0 then have support for convergence (conditionally on SS determinants) Can estimate if a1, a2, a3 are significantly different from zero and matter for steady state Typical cross-country growth regressions (initiated by Barro)

49 Asian Tigers: growth miracle? Since the post-war period we have witnessed astonishing levels of growth in the Asian Tigers. The press and political commentators: Bad for the West: Take our jobs Western leaders and CEO s should look at the Tigers and learn how to improve efficiency. Economists: No growth miracle. Just accumulation of inputs.

54 Asian Tigers: growth miracle? Some differences in the sources of growth. BUT: Increased capital stock MOST important factor for all of them. Krugman: Perspiration rather than inspiration! Too rapid development? No gains from the learning curve? Incorrect balance between innovation and experience? Does it matter? No: They got much richer anyway Yes: Some have paid for it - those that were young early on in the process: Low income, high savings Future? Need to shift from extensive to intensive margin
55 Summary Countries show enormous differences in their standard of living. Further some poor countries have shown rapid growth while others have remained poor. The neoclassical (Solow) growth model focuses on explaining these differences through capital accumulation, assuming diminishing marginal product of capital. This assumption implies convergence. Countries with high investment rates have a high steady state and are rich. At the steady state all countries grow at the rate of technological progress. The neoclassical model relies on conditional convergence conditional on countries sharing the same steady state then poorer countries will grow faster than rich ones. The steady state depends on many factors. Strong roles are found for education, health and rate of investment but many other additional variables are also found important. The analysis suggests that making a country rich will involve a broad package of economic, social and political policies don t look for magic ingredient X.
