Economists take
for granted that
higher output

means higher
utility and
increased
happiness.
The evidence

however, points

Factors Affecting Indias Economic Growth
Nehru- Mahalanobis Model of Growth
Mahalanobis model is a model of economic development, created by
Indian statistician Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis in 1953.
It is essentially a developmental planning model and not an economic
growth model of the Harrod-Domar or Solow model variety
Largely follow Soviet Union growth strategy.
Centrally plan structure of growth. Adopted different 5 yr plan for
growth.
The issue of allocation of capital was to be solved in a manner that
economic growth rate could be enhanced.
Agricultural growth was given importance in 1
st
5 yr Plan.
Higher investment in heavy industries could boost the economic growth
( 2
nd
5 yr plan).
Allocating a larger share of Govt. investment in the capital goods sector
and a lower share of investment to the consumption goods sector.

1.4 Economic Growth: A Primer
Questions:
What determines growth?
What is the role of capital accumulation?
What is the role of technological progress?
What is the role of Population Growth
To analyze this, we use the framework of analysis
developed by Robert Solow, from MIT, in the late 1950s.
1. PF in aggregate terms: Y = F (K, N)
2. PF assume constant returns to scale:
xY = F (xK, xN ) for any x > 0
3. Per Worker Production Function
Define: y = Y/N = output per worker
k = K/N = capital per worker
Let x = 1/N. Then Y/N = F (K/N, N/N)
=> y = F (k, 1) or y = f(k)
where f(k) = F(k, 1)

The Sources of Growth
1. Savings and Capital Accumulation: (K)
Increases in output per worker (Y/N) can come from
increases in capital per worker (K/N). Higher capital leads to
higher output.
2. Technological Progress (A):
Improvements in the state of technology, shift the
production function, F, and lead to more output per
worker given capital per worker.
3. Population Growth (N):
4. Other Factors:
Human Capital, Natural Resources, FDI, Infrastructure,
Political structure, legal determinants, and geography in

A. Savings, Capital Accumulation
and Output Growth
The effects of the saving rate - the ratio of saving to GDP
on capital and output per capita.

Three assumptions to derive the relation between output and investment:
(a) the economy is closed. Y=C+I+G =>
(b) public saving and T G, is equal to zero, means G=0,T=0 and NX=0
( c) private saving is proportional to income,
since

Assume rate of depreciation () is constant
Rearranging the eqn (11) we can articulate the change in
capital per worker over time:
In other words, the change in the capital stock per worker (left side) is
equal to saving per worker minus depreciation (right side).

4-2 Savings, Capital Accumulation and Growth:
The Implications of Alternative Saving Rates
When capital and output
are low, investment
exceeds depreciation,
and capital increases.
When capital and output
are high, investment is
less than depreciation,
and capital decreases.

Steady State means a Variables of interest grow at
constant rate (balanced growth path or BGP)
If investment is just enough to cover depreciation i.e. sf(k
t

t
,
then capital per worker will remain constant: Ak

at one value of k, denoted k

The amount of investment per effective worker needed to maintain a constant level

5.1 Technological Progress and the Rate of Growth
1. Capital per effective worker and
output per effective worker
converge to constant values in the
long run.
2. Output per effective worker
increases with capital per effective
worker, but at a decreasing rate.
3. The relation between investment
per effective worker and capital
per effective worker is drawn as
the upper curve, multiplied by the
saving rate, s.
4. Finally, now that we allow for
technological progress (so A
increases over time), the number
of effective workers (AN) increases
over time.

In steady state, output (Y) grows at the same rate as effective
labor (AN); effective labor grows at a rate (g
A
+g
N
); therefore,
output growth in steady state equals (g
A
+g
N
). Capital per
effective worker also grows at a rate equal to (g
A
+g
N
).
The growth rate of output is independent of the saving rate.
Because output, capital, and effective labor all grow at the
same rate, (g
A
+g
N
), the steady state of the economy is also
called a state of balanced growth.
