Economic Growth in Developing and Transitional Economies
All economic analysis deals with the problem of
making choices under conditions of scarcity, and
the problem of satisfying people’s wants and
needs is as real for Somalia and Haiti as it is for
the United States, Germany, and Japan. The
universality of scarcity is what makes economic
analysis relevant to all nations, regardless of their
level of material well-being or ruling political
ideology.
Even though economic problems and the policy
instruments available to tackle them vary across
nations, economic thinking about these problems
can be transferred easily from one setting to
another.

CHAPTER 21 Economic Growth in Developing and Transitional Economies
Life in the Developing Nations: Population and Poverty
While the developed nations account for only
about one quarter of the world’s population, they
are estimated to consume three-quarters of the
world’s output.
This leaves the developing countries with about
three-fourths of the world’s people but only onefourth of the world’s income.
The simple result is that most of our planet’s
population is poor.

Economic Development: Sources and Strategies
The Sources of Economic Development
Capital Formation
vicious-circle-of-poverty hypothesis Suggests
that poverty is self-perpetuating because poor
nations are unable to save and invest enough to
accumulate the capital stock that would help them
grow.
capital flight The tendency for both human
capital and financial capital to leave developing
countries in search of higher expected rates of
return elsewhere with less risk.

Corruption
The following chart shows the
World Bank’s rating of corruption
levels in a number of countries
around the world. The countries
are ranked from those with the
strongest controls on corruption—
Germany and France—to those
with the lowest controls—Pakistan
and Nigeria. Indonesia, as you
can see, is near the bottom of the
list.

Microfinance: A New Idea
In the mid 1970s, Muhammad Yunus, a young
Bangladeshi economist created the Grameen
Bank in Bangladesh.
Microfinance is the practice of lending very small
amounts of money, with no collateral, and
accepting very small savings deposits. It is aimed
at introducing entrepreneurs in the poorest parts of
the developing world to the capital market.
Relative to traditional bank loans, microfinance
loans are much smaller, repayment begins very
quickly, and the vast majority of the loans are
made to women (who, in many cases, have been
underserved by mainstream banks).

Growth versus Development: The Policy Cycle
structural adjustment A series of programs in
developing nations designed to: (1) reduce the
size of their public sectors through privatization
and/or expenditure reductions, (2) decrease their
budget deficits, (3) control inflation, and (4)
encourage private saving and investment through
tax reform.

Cell Phones Increase
Profits for Fishermen
in India
Kerala is a poor state in a region
of India.
Beginning in 1997 and continuing
for the next several years, mobile
phone service was introduced to this region of India.
Once the phones were introduced, waste, which had averaged 5
to 8 percent of the total catch, was virtually eliminated.
In fact, cell phones are improving the way markets in less
developed countries work by providing price and quantity
information so that both producers and consumers can make
better economic decisions.

Economic Development: Sources and Strategies
Two Examples of Development: China and India
China and India provide two interesting examples
of rapidly developing economies. While low percapita incomes still mean that both countries are
typically labeled developing as opposed to
developed countries, many expect that to change
in the near future.
Many commentators expect India and China to
dominate the world economy in the twenty-first
century.

CHAPTER 21 Economic Growth in Developing and Transitional Economies
Issues in Economic Development
Population Growth
The populations of the developing nations are
estimated to be growing at about 1.7 percent per
year.
Concern over world population growth is not new.
The Reverend Thomas Malthus (who became
England’s first professor of political economy)
expressed his fears about the population
increases he observed 200 years ago. Malthus
believed that populations grow geometrically at a
constant growth rate—thus the absolute size of the
increase each year gets larger and larger—but
that food supplies grow more slowly because of
the diminishing marginal productivity of land.
These two phenomena led Malthus to predict the
increasing impoverishment of the world’s people
unless population growth could be slowed.

The Consequences of Rapid Population Growth
 FIGURE 21.1 The Growth of
World Population, Projected to
A.D. 2020
For thousands of years,
population grew slowly. From
A.D. 1 until the mid-1600s,
population grew at about .04
percent per year. Since the
Industrial Revolution, population
growth has occurred at an
unprecedented rate.

fertility rate The birth rate. Equal to (the number
of births per year divided by the population) × 100.
mortality rate The death rate. Equal to (the
number of deaths per year divided by the
population) × 100.
natural rate of population increase The
difference between the birth rate and the death
rate.

The Transition to a Market Economy
Six Basic Requirements for Successful Transition
Economists generally agree on six basic
requirements for a successful transition to a
market-based system:
(1) macroeconomic stabilization,
(2) deregulation of prices and liberalization of

trade,
privatization of state-owned enterprises and
development of new private industry,
establishment of market-supporting
institutions such as property and contract laws
and accounting systems,
a social safety net to deal with unemployment
and poverty, and
external assistance.

CHAPTER 21 Economic Growth in Developing and Transitional Economies
The Transition to a Market Economy
Six Basic Requirements for Successful Transition
Macroeconomic Stabilization
To achieve a properly functioning market system,
prices must be stabilized.
Deregulation of Prices and Liberalization of Trade
An unregulated price mechanism ensures an
efficient allocation of resources across industries.
Privatization
Private ownership provides a strong incentive for
efficient operation, innovation, and hard work that
is lacking when ownership is centralized and
profits are distributed to the people.

CHAPTER 21 Economic Growth in Developing and Transitional Economies
The Transition to a Market Economy
Six Basic Requirements for Successful Transition
Market-Supporting Institutions
The capital market, which channels private saving
into productive capital investment in developed
capitalist economies, is made up of hundreds of
different institutions.
Social Safety Net
This social safety net might include unemployment
insurance, aid for the poor, and food and housing
assistance.
External Assistance
Very few believe that the transition to a market
system can be achieved without outside support
and some outside financing.
