3. Chapter 3: Trade Agreements and Economic Theory | Wilson Center
Missing: phones
Economists have had an enormous impact on trade policy, and they provide a strong rationale for free trade and for removal of trade barriers. Although the objective of a trade agreement is to liberalize trade, the actual provisions are heavily shaped by domestic and international political realities. The world has changed enormously from the time when David Ricardo proposed the law of comparative advantage, and in recent decades economists have modified their theories to account for trade in factors of production, such as capital and labor, the growth of supply chains that today dominate much of world trade, and the success of neomercantilist countries in achieving rapid growth.

The Meaning and Measurement of Economic Development ________________________________________________________________________ Economic growth is an increase in a country's per capita output. Economic development is economic growth leading to an improvement in the economic welfare of the poorest segment of the population or changes in educational level, output distribution, and economic structural change. Although economists classify countries by income category, rankings by measures of the level of economic welfare form a continuum rather than a dichotomy. The third world of Africa, Asia, and Latin America is very diverse, ranging from the least developed countries with a low per capita income and little industrialization to newly industrializing countries. The GNP of LDCs is understated relative to that of the United States because LDCs have a higher portion of output sold outside the marketplace, a smaller share of intermediate goods in their GNP, and a large percentage of labor intensive, unstandardized goods having no impact on the exchange rate. The per capita GNP of LDCs relative to the United States increases by one and one half to more than four times when adjustments are made for purchasing power. Purchasing-power parity national income data are preferable, when available, because they are a more accurate reflection of relative welfare. Per capita GNP is an imperfect measure of average economic welfare in a country. For example, social indicators, such as the UNDPs Human Development Index (HDI), suggest that Chile and Poland have done better in meeting the basic needs of the majority of its people than South Africa, which has roughly the same average income level. The Gender Development Index (GDI), which adjusts HDI for gender inequality, does better in reflecting the adverse effect of gender disparities on social progress. Economists who emphasize basic needs stress providing food, housing, health, sanitation, water, and basic education in LDCs, especially for low income groups. However, despite the view that these needs are rights, resources may be too limited in LDCs to guarantee their fulfillment. Some economists wish to substitute the goal of liberation, or freedom from external economic and political control, for that of economic development, which they understand as implying economic growth dependent on Western techniques, capital, institutions, and consumer goods. However, the countries they choose as examples fall far short of the liberation they espouse. Amartya Sen contends that freedom of choice is the ultimate goal of economic life. The relationship between incomes and achievements and between wealth and satisfaction with life may be weak, depending on factors other than income.

Economic Development in Historical Perspective _______________________________________________________________________ Capitalism rose in the West from the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries with the decline of feudalism, the breakdown of church authority, strong nation states supporting free trade, a liberal ideology tailor made for the bourgeoisie, a price revolution that speeded capital accumulation, advances in science and technology, and a spirit of rationalism. In the last one to one and one-half centuries, sustained economic growth occurred primarily in the capitalist West and Japan. During this period, the economic growth rate of most of these countries was over 1.5 percent yearly. Thus the gap between these countries and the developing countries of Afro Asia has increased greatly. During the late nineteenth century, the Japanese acquired foreign technology, established a banking system, assisted private business people, aided technical improvement in small industry, implemented universal education, and kept foreign exchange rates close to market rates. However, LDCs can learn only limited lessons from Japan, because of its historically specific conditions and because some components of Japans model may have contributed to its recent growth collapse. The South Korean and Taiwanese approaches have been similar to those of Japan. Moreover, the Korean-Taiwanese model stressed government-business cooperation alongside government creation of contested markets among businesses. The 1917 Communist revolution in Russia provided an alternative to capitalism as a road to economic modernization. The state took control of economic planning and capital accumulation. In only a few decades, Soviet centralized socialism transformed Russia. Yet the major sources for this rapid growth, increased capital formation and increased labor participation rates, were exhausted in the decade or two before the collapse of communism in 1991. China performed better than Russia during its early industrialization, partly because of Chinas institutional changes and market reforms. The economic growth of developing countries since World War II has been much more rapid than before the war. Yet the postwar growth of developing countries has been no faster than the growth of developed countries. Whether this means convergence or divergence depends on the time, scope, and definitions. In the last decades of the twentieth century, eight high-performing Asian economies have experienced rapid growth, despite the Asian financial crisis of 1997-1999. Since 1990, we can add India and other LDCs to this list. On the other hand, some sub-Saharan African and other LDCs have not only experienced a slowdown but a meltdown, resulting in declining health, nutrition, and other basic needs for most of the countrys people.

Characteristics and Institutions of Developing Countries ________________________________________________________________________ While LDCs are diverse, they have some common characteristics that especially apply to low income countries. Low income economies tend to have a high percentage of production and labor force in agriculture, low savings rates and technology, relatively rapid population growth, relatively low literacy and skills, and poorly developed institutions. While a disproportional proportion is not democratic, their political systems vary. Some lose substantial savings and income from widespread rent seeking, acquiring private benefits from public resources. A few, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, are failed states, providing virtually no public goods or services to their people. Despite this bleak portrait, LDCs generally have raised real incomes, reduced poverty, increased life expectancy, lowered infant mortality, improved literacy and educational access, narrowed gender disparities, and decelerated population growth, especially in the last half century.

Theories of Economic Development ________________________________________________________________________ David Ricardo feared eventual stagnation from slow capital accumulation, and diminishing returns from population growth on fixed natural resources. However, he failed to see the possibility of sustained, rapid, economic growth because his theory understated scientific discoveries and technological progress. Marx saw history dialectically as progressing from feudalism to capitalism to socialism on the basis of class conflict. The oppressed classes overthrow the classes controlling the prevailing means of production. Rostow's economic model has five stages; its central historical stage is the takeoff, a decisive period of increased investment, rapid growth in leading sectors, and institutional change during which the major blocks to steady growth are finally overcome The vicious circle theory contends that a country is poor because its income is too low to encourage potential investors and generate adequate saving. Balanced growth advocates argue that a big push is needed to begin economic development because of indivisibilities in demand and infrastructure. Critics indicate that most LDCs do not have the resources essential for launching such a big push. Hirschman supports a deliberate unbalancing of the economy to facilitate economic decision making and investment. However he fails to stress the importance of agricultural investment. Kremers O-ring theory of development emphasizes that production consists of many tasks, all of which must be successfully completed for the product to have full value and to prevent coordination failure. In the Lewis model, an unlimited supply of surplus farm labor migrates to urban areas for wages in excess of rural, subsistence wages. This supply of cheap labor to the industrial sector is the basis for profits, and capital accumulation. Fei and Ranis, too, believe that the capitalist wage will increase before surplus labor is absorbed, unless agriculture and industry can achieve balanced growth. For Baran, the coalition of the bourgeoisie and landed classes, helped by foreign capitalist governments, is incapable of undertaking the capital formation and political reform required for rapid economic growth and alleviation of mass poverty. Furtado's dependency theory contends that increased productivity and new consumption patterns resulting from capitalism in the peripheral countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America benefit a small ruling class and its allies. Frank's dependency approach maintains that countries become underdeveloped through integration into, not isolation from, the international capitalist system. The neoclassical counterrevolution to Marxian and dependency theory emphasized reliance on the market, private initiative, and deregulation in LDCs. Neoclassical growth theory emphasizes the importance of increased saving for economic growth. The new endogenous growth theory arose from concerns that neoclassical economics neglected the explanations of technological change.

Poverty, Malnutrition, and Income Inequality ________________________________________________________________________ Poverty is multidimensional, referring not only to low income but also to hunger, illiteracy, poor health, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of power and voice Absolute poverty is below the income that secures the bare essentials of food, clothing, and shelter. The World Bank and other international agencies have drawn $1/day and $2/day poverty lines, based on 1985 purchasing power parity (PPP). Sala-i-Martin, who interpolates income distribution by percentiles rather than by the World Banks quintiles, estimates that 6.7 percent of the world was suffering $1/day poverty and 18.6 percent $2/day poverty in 1998. The overwhelming majority of the worlds poor live in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and East Asia. Sala-i-Martin and Bhalla show that the worlds individual income inequality fell from 1980 to 2000, a result of a shift of large numbers in high-populated Asia, especially in China and India, from the worlds lower to middle class. Sen's concept of poverty focuses on capabilities rather than attainments. Sen argues that policy makers need the following measures of poverty: headcount or poverty percentage, income-gap or the additional income needed to bring the poor up to the level of the poverty line, and Gini coefficient or concentration of income among the poor. Inequality tends to follow an inverted U shaped pattern, first increasing and then decreasing with growth in per capita income. People in absolute poverty are undernourished and have low resistance to disease. A high infant mortality rate, a life expectancy of about 45 years, and illiteracy characterize this group. Growth rates of national income are closely correlated with the income growth of the poorest 20 percent. Taiwan's and South Korea's stress on land reform, education, and labor intensive manufacturing, and Indonesia's emphasis on rural development have succeeded in increasing the income shares of the poorest segments of their populations. Indias poverty rates fell rapidly from the mid-1980s through the 1990s, when liberalization reforms spurred growth. Policies used to reduce poverty and income inequality include credit for the poor, universal primary education, employment programs, rural development schemes, progressive income taxes, food subsidies, health programs, family planning, food research, inducements to migration, income transfers, affirmative action programs, targeting programs for the poorest groups, and workfare schemes for which only the poor will qualify. Economists disagree on whether there is a tradeoff or interlink between equality and growth. Poverty and inequality increase the risk of war, state violence, and rebel resistance in LDCs.

Rural Poverty and Agricultural Transformation ________________________________________________________________________ Rural inequality is probably less than urban inequality in LDCs as a whole, especially in Afro-Asia. Nevertheless rural populations have a higher percentage in poverty than urban populations, because of much lower average incomes in rural areas. Households headed by women form a disproportionate share of the rural poor. Two-thirds of Sub-Saharan Africa's rural population (with the highest poverty rate) and more than one-half of Latin America's rural population live in poverty. Asia has the largest absolute number of rural poor but the lowest rural poverty rate among LDC regions. Because of high levels of capital accumulation, technical knowledge, and worker productivity, agricultural output per worker in developed countries is about 25 times as high as in developing countries. Subsistence farming dominated LDC agriculture in the past. With globalization, a larger proportion of LDC farm ouput is contracted with multinational corporations. Agricultural economists noticed a fall in global average foodgrain production during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Entitlement refers to the set of alternative commodities that a person can command in a society using the totality of rights that he or she possesses. Colonial and postcolonial policies biased against agriculture helped contribute to sub Saharan Africa's decline in food output per capita from the early 1950s to the early 1990s. Africa's food security is low because of substantial fluctuations in domestic production and foreign-exchange reserves, reductions in food aid, and lack of a Green Revolution in most of the continent. Inadequate capital , lack of technology, low educational and skill levels, the brain drain to urban areas, food price policies, below market foreign exchange rates, and governmental urban bias contribute to low incomes in rural areas. In LDCs, the small family farm is best positioned to have high productivity per hectare, at least if credit, extension, and inputs are readily accessible. Collective farming has not generally increased productivity because of disincentives for work, innovation, and savings. Production oriented rural development projects such as small farmer credit, agricultural innovations and new technology, and improved extension services are likely to reduce agricultural terms of trade and thus reduce rural incomes in the short run. Agriculture biotechnology has substantial potential to increase yields per hectare and per person in developing countries.

Population and Development ________________________________________________________________________ <;lnf>Population growth in the second half of the twentieth century, especially among LDCs, is unprecedented in human experience. The developing world has a current population growth rate of 1.6 percent yearly. More than onehalf of the world's population lives in Asia. Contemporary LDC population growth has been faster than that of the DCs during their early transitional period because of a sharper drop in mortality rates in LDCs. Today's developing countries were able to take advantage of advances in food production, new pesticides, improvements in transport and communication, improved nutrition, better personal hygiene, medical innovations, and immunization in a short time<;b1>many of which were not available to DCs during their early demographic transition.<;ln> Fertility decreases with economic development, urbanization, industrialization, mobility, literacy, female labor force participation, reduced income inequality, and greater familyplanning efforts. Development and familyplanning programs have both contributed to the decrease in LDC fertility rates since the 1960s.<;ln> The young age structure in LDCs means that their populations will continue to grow even after the average woman of childbearing age bears only enough daughters to replace herself.<;ln> Malthus's predictions that population would outgrow food supply were wrong in the past because he did not foresee that technological change, capital accumulation, and voluntary birth control would maintain a safe food and population balance. Present agricultural production is sufficient to feed everyone on earth adequately. However, deficiencies in food distribution between and within nations, inadequate agricultural research, and limited energy make future food availability in LDCs rather uncertain, especially in subSaharan Africa.<;ln> Simon, who contends that population growth stimulates technology, division of labor, and economic growth, argues against a LDC government population policy. <;ln> Increased urbanization and congestion, rapid labor force growth, growing unemployment, and high dependency burdens are some major costs of high fertility rates and rapid population growth. That 30<;b2>35 percent of LDC population is 0<;b2>14 years old compared to only 15<;b2>20 percent in the DCs means that resources have to be diverted from capital formation to take care of the young in the LDCs.

Employment, Migration, and Urbanization ________________________________________________________________________ Production depends on the flow of natural resources, capital, labor, entrepreneurship, and technology per unit of time. The openly unemployed, those without a job who are actively looking for one, are usually urban, 15 24 years old, and among the well educated. The underemployed, the visibly active but underutilized, the impaired, and the unproductive are all underutilized in LDC labor forces. About one-third of the labor force in least developed Africa is employed outside agriculture. The labor force in these countries is growing at about 2.7 percent per year. Although many economists believe that there is widespread disguised unemployment, or zero marginal productivity, in LDC agriculture, the available evidence does not support the contention. Rural urban migration contributes almost as much to the rapid growth of the urban labor force in LDCs as population growth. Lewis argues that an unlimited supply of underutilized farm labor migrates to urban areas for wages only slightly in excess of rural wages. Harris and Todaro indicate, however, that farm workers considering a move to an urban area consider urban rural differences in unemployment as well as wages. Keynesian unemployment from deficient aggregate demand is not important in LDCs because of the slow response in output to demand increases, ineffective fiscal policy, rural urban migrants in the labor market, and possible tradeoffs between employment and output from inappropriate technology. Technology designed for the industrialized countries, which have a relative abundance of capital and scarcity of labor, is often not suitable for LDCs, with their abundant labor and scarce capital. This inappropriate technology increases unemployment. Capital may be priced higher and labor priced lower than equilibrium prices in LDCs because of government wage and social legislation, trade union pressures, and a low price for foreign exchange. The LDC unemployment is higher among the educated than the uneducated because the educated may have unrealistic earnings expectations or job preferences and because wages paid to educated workers are often inflexible. Policies to reduce unemployment include programs to reduce fertility; encourage rural development and amenities; substitute labor intensive production techniques; redistribute income to the poor; increase official purchases from small scale, labor intensive firms; generate new technology locally; adapt existing technology; curtail wages in the organized sector; decrease subsidies to capital; increase capital utilization; set equilibrium foreign exchange rates; resist pressures for a too rapid expansion of upper level education and refuse to subsidize this level of education; increase the share of spending for primary schooling; stress scientific and technical education; improve wage flexibility at the higher levels; and reduce job rationing by educational certification.

Education, Health, and Human Capital ________________________________________________________________________ Since the nineteenth century, the wage premium for skilled relative to unskilled labor has increased. Investment in human capital includes expenditures on education, training, research, and health, enhancing a people's future productivity. Economists who analyze the relative rates of returns to investment to primary education and secondary education in LDCs disagree on whether LDCs should put greater priority on primary education. Psacharopoulos and Woodhall, who find that the higher average returns are from primary education, argue for more emphasis on primary education. Knight, Sabot, and Hovey, however, question this emphasis in a study that shows that the marginal rates of returns to the cohort entering into the labor market were lower for primary education. Public expenditure per student for higher education in LDCs is about ten times as high as for primary education. In LDCs the expansion of primary education redistributes benefits from the rich to the poor, while the growth of secondary and higher education redistributes income from the poor to the rich. In most LDCs, boys are sent to school far more often than girls. One planning method for producing specialized skills is to use input output relationships to determine future demand for various types of high level personnel. If wages are adjusted more closely to productivity, LDC educational planning is easier. On the job training tends to balance demand for, and supply of, training. Distance learning through electronic media can dramatically reduce the cost of continuing education and secondary and higher education, including teacher training. Some economists argue that LDCs do not lose from the brain drain, since the worker earns an income equal to his or her marginal product. However we can question this analysis, since marginal product may exceed the wage, high level skills increase the productivity of other production factors, and government highly subsidizes education in developing countries. There is no evidence of a backward bending supply curve for labor unique to LDCs. Furthermore the aggregate supply curve of labor in LDCs is clearly upward sloping. Although affluent Asians may be more likely to consider manual work degrading than affluent Westerners, these attitudes appear to be primarily related to the more abundant supply of cheap labor in Asia. Poor nutrition and health reduce labor productivity. However health has improved, and nutrition has probably not deteriorated in LDCs since the 1960s. HIV infection and AIDS-related deaths have had a substantial adverse impact on economic growth in some developing countries, especially in Africa.

Capital Formation, Investment Choice, Information Technology, and Technical Progress _______________________________________________________________________ The growth in total factor productivity is the increased worker productivity arising from factors other than increases in capital per worker. Capital formation and technical progress are major factors responsible for the rapid economic growth of the West and Japan in the last 125 150 years. Economic growth cannot be explained merely by increases in inputs. Econometric studies of developed countries indicate that the increase in the productivity of each worker per unit of capital is a more important source of growth than the addition in capital per worker. Major explanations for this increase in productivity are advances in knowledge, greater education and training, learning by experience, organizational improvement, economies of scale, and resource shifts. However, research on the sources of growth in developing countries provides evidence that the contribution of capital per worker is more important to economic growth than that of worker productivity per unit of capital. Reasons for the greater contribution of capital to growth in LDCs are higher marginal productivity of capital and higher growth rates of capital. Technical progress results from a combination of research, development, invention, and innovation. Technical knowledge acquired from abroad is costly and usually incomplete. LDC planners must examine existing technologies for possible substitution of labor for capital. Nevertheless the maximization of labor absorption is inadequate as an investment criterion. Labor intensive techniques may sometimes not be used because of fixed capital labor ratios in the industry, the high cost of adapting and modifying existing technologies, scarce administrative and managerial resources needed to implement labor intensive techniques, and distortions that increase the price of labor relative to that of capital. Social benefit cost analysis chooses investment projects that maximize the discounted net social benefits per unit of capital invested. The discount rate should be set high enough to equate investment with savings and capital imports. The investment planner who wants to avert risk can place less value on probability distributions with a wide relative dispersion around the average. Market prices must be adjusted for externalities, distribution, indivisibilities, monopolies, and factor price distortions to obtain shadow prices. These prices aid the planner in adjusting returns away from commercial profitability to social profitability.

Entrepreneurship, Organization, and Innovation ________________________________________________________________________ To Schumpeter the entrepreneur is an innovator, one who carries out new combinations. These innovations are the source of private profit and economic growth. However, LDCs need not unduly emphasize developing new combinations, since some technology can be borrowed or adapted from abroad. Coase identifies the entrepreneur, who organizes within the firm, and the price mechanism as the two major coordinating instruments within the economy. The entrepreneur differs from the manager of a firm, who runs the business on established lines. The entrepreneur can fill gaps, complete inputs, and make up for market deficiencies. Since they assume that most skills needed for an enterprise can be purchased in the market, Western economists frequently limit the entrepreneurial function to perceiving market opportunities and gaining command over resources. However, LDC entrepreneurs may have to provide some basic skills themselves, such as marketing, purchasing, dealing with government, human relations, supplier relations, customer relations, financial management, production management, and technological management, which are all skills in short supply in the market. Although the family enterprise has the advantage of quick, unified decision making, its disadvantages include a conservative approach to taking risks, reluctance to hire professional managers, and paternalism in labor relationships. McClelland contends that a society with a generally high need for achievement produces energetic entrepreneurs who bring about rapid economic growth. Hagen argues that societies where children are raised democratically, so that they are encouraged to take initiative and be self reliant, are more likely to produce entrepreneurs. Industrial entrepreneurs in LDCs come from a wide variety of occupational backgrounds, including trade, sales, and crafts. According to Weber, the spirit of the modern capitalist entrepreneur in Western Europe in the sixteenth century was found disproportionally among Puritans, whose religious asceticism manifested itself in worldly activity. Generally entrepreneurs come from a much higher socioeconomic background than the general population. In addition they tend to be upwardly mobile. Although education can increase the entrepreneurial supply by making available skills needed for business, it can decrease this supply by increasing a person's job options. Cultural norms in LDCs defining how women should behave at work limit female entrepreneurial activity. Organization and innovation are important for growth in socialist as well as capitalist economies. It had been difficult for socialist countries, particularly the Soviet Union, to motivate managers and technicians to innovate. Under China's post 1978 industrial reform, self employed individuals can innovate, start a new enterprise, combine capital and personnel, and, albeit with certain limits, expand the firm.

Natural Resources and the Environment: Toward Sustainable Development ________________________________________________________________________ Land is immobile and potentially renewable. Natural resources are mobile, but most are nonrenewable.Environmental resources are resources provided by nature that are indivisible. Dutch disease is the adverse competitive effect that local currency appreciation due to a booming export sector has on other exports and import substitutes. Sustainable development refers to maintaining the productivity of natural, produced, and human assets from generation to generation. Panayotou contends that environmental degradation originates from market distortions, defective economic policies, and inadequate property rights definitions, meaning that environmental problems are basically economic problems. The efficient level of pollution emission is where marginal damages are equal to marginal abatement costs. Contingent valuation is the use of questionnaires from sample surveys to elicit the willingness of respondents to pay for an environmental good. About 14 percent of the world population lives on arid or semiarid land Economic underdevelopment in the tropics is partly a matter of geography. Tropical countries generally will not provide global public goods, such as the atmosphere or biosphere, in sufficient quantity, since many benefits spill over to other countries. Developed and transitional countries produce a disproportional share of the world's carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming. Market-based "green taxes" are more efficient than physical targets in reducing carbon emissions. The Club of Rome's study, The Limits to Growth, concluded that the global economic system will collapse during the twenty first century. Daly's impossibility theorem argues that there are not enough resources in the world to support the whole world at U.S. style consumption levels. Our continuous use of natural resources increases entropy, a measure of the unavailable energy in a thermodynamic system. The World Bank subtracts resource depletion and environmental degradation from gross savings to get changes in wealth. The Genuine Progress Index (GPI) is a comprehensive indicator of well-being that subtracts depletion of nonrenewable resources, long-term environmental economic damage, ozone depletion, loss of wetlands, and loss of farmlands from GDP. Lifeboat ethics, used as an argument for denying economic assistance to LDCs, is based on a number of flawed premises.

Monetary, Fiscal, and Incomes Policy, and Inflation ________________________________________________________________________ Central banks in LDCs generally have less effect on expenditure and output than in DCs. Tax revenue as a percentage of GNP in LDCs is about 18 percent compared to 38 percent in DCs. The increase in tax ratios with GNP per capita reflects both the growth in the demand for public services and the capacity to levy and pay taxes. Direct taxes (such as taxes on property, wealth, inheritance, and income) account for about one third of revenue sources in LDCs and about one-half to two thirds in DCs. Major indirect taxes in most LDCs are those on international trade, production, and internal transactions, which, however, distort resource allocation. Direct taxes generally have a higher elasticity than indirect taxes. Some DCs use the progressive income tax to mobilize large amounts of public resources, improve income distribution, stabilize income and prices, and prevent inefficient use of resources, often arising from a heavy reliance on indirect taxes. A number of LDCs have introduced the value-added tax. The appeals of the value-added tax are simplicity, uniformity, and the generation of substantial revenues. Developing countries cannot use fiscal policy to stabilize income and prices so effectively as developed countries can. A relatively small percentage of government spending in LDCs is on health, social security, and welfare, and a relatively high percentage on infrastructure. The annual inflation rate in LDCs increased from less than 10 percent in the 1960s to over 20 percent in the 1970s and over 70 percent in the 1980s, but fell to 16 percent in the 1990s. The highest inflation rates, in Latin America, dropped to about 30 percent yearly in the 1990s. Demand pull is not an adequate explanation for inflation in LDCs. Inflation may be cost push (from the market power of businesses and unions), ratchet (from rigid prices downward), or structural (slow export growth and inelastic food supply), with added momentum, once started, from inflationary expectations. Countries with high rates of inflation may use incomes policy--wage and price guidelines or controls, and exchange-rate fixing--together with monetary and fiscal stabilization to reduce increases in the price index. Some economists argue that inflation can promote economic growth by redistributing income from low savers to high savers. Yet recent evidence indicates that inflation less than 30-40 percent yearly does not hamper growth, indicating that LDCs probably should not be preoccupied with controlling mild inflation. The LDC money markets are often highly oligopolistic and financially repressive, distorting interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and other financial prices. When financial markets channel funds to those with productive investment opportunities poorly, the economy operates inefficiently, as in Asia during the 1997-98 financial crisis.

Balance of Payments, Aid, and Foreign Investment ________________________________________________________________________ Globalization involves the expansion of economic activities across nation states, deepening economic openness, integration, and interdependence among countries. External openness generally benefits most of the world but is likely to marginalize peripheral countries, especially their poorest citizens. A capital inflow enables a country to invest more than it saves and import more than it exports. A newly industrializing country that effectively uses an inflow of foreign funds should usually be able to pay back its debt from increased output and productivity. Exports minus imports of goods and services equal the international balance on goods, services, and income. Aid, remittances, loans, and investment from abroad finance a balance on goods and services deficit. Countries give concessional aid to LDCs for reasons of national economic and political interest, ideology, humanitarianism, and global political maintenance. In 2001, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries (the West and Japan) fell to $51.4 billion, 0.22 percent of GNP. Aid given by the United States, the largest giver, was also lowest as a percentage of GNP. The grant component of OECD concessional aid to LDCs was 94 percent. The major multilateral agencies providing concessional aid to LDCs were the International Development Association (a World Bank affiliate), the Commission of the European Communities, and the UN. A large share of international trade is multinational corporations intra-firm trade. Although the United States still accounts for the largest share of the world's foreign, private investment, its share steadily declined between 1971 and 2001. The largest multinational corporations have an economic strength comparable to that of the LDCs with which they bargain. In 2001, the top ten recipients received 73 percent of inward foreign direct investment (FDI). China was the leading LDC recipient of FDI. Although MNCs in developing countries provide scarce capital and advanced technology for growth, doing so may increase LDC dependence on foreign capital and technology. The LDCs need a judicious combination of MNCs, joint MNC local ventures, licensing, and other technological borrowing and adaptation. Loans to developing countries at bankers standards fell from 1990 to 2002. Why doesnt capital flow from rich to poor countries? LDC capital markets are imperfect and often subject to political risk. Why does 10 percent of the rest of the worlds savings flow to the United States? The US has the most highly developed market for financial assets, and attracts savings as the worlds largest reserve and trading currency.

The External Debt and Financial Crises ________________________________________________________________________ Some of the causes of the debt crisis have been global shocks and instability a decline in the ratio of official aid to commercial loans, inefficiency, poor economic management, overvalued domestic currencies, and capital flight. Lending to LDCs (especially Latin American) may be undermined by capital flight because perceived risk adjusted returns are higher in haven countries than in LDCs. LDCs, especially Latin American, had an increase in their real external debt in the last quarter of the twentieth century. The LDC debt service ratio more than doubled from the early 1970s to the late 1980s, but has fallen since then. The exposure of several major U.S. commercial banks to losses from LDC loan write offs or write downs was substantial in the 1980s. The ratio of debt service to GNP is not always a good indicator of the debt burden. Middle income countries account for almost four-fifths of the total outstanding debt of all LDCs. Yet the debt burden for low income countries, such as the majority of sub Saharan African countries, which have poor credit ratings, may be as heavy as for middle income countries. Cross-border capital movements benefited LDC recipients in the long run but, because of potential reverse outflows, increased vulnerability to financial and currency crises. These financial and currency crises, also caused by large bank bad debt, current account deficits, real currency appreciation, and fast credit growth, had a negative impact on economic growth. In the late 1970s through the early years of the twenty-first century, developing countries with chronic external deficits required economic adjustment, imposed domestically or by the World Bank or IMF. In 1979, the World Bank began structural adjustment loans and soon thereafter sectoral adjustment loans. IMF loans of last resort were conditioned on an LDC implementing an acceptable macroeconomic stabilization program. Additionally, in 1986-87, the IMF initiated structural adjustment loans for LDCs experiencing unanticipated external shocks. Finance officials in DCs instituted several plans for resolving the debt crisis. The Baker plan (1985) emphasized new loans from multilateral agencies and surplus countries, while the Brady plan (1989) stressed debt reduction or writedowns. Debt writedowns require multilateral coordination among creditors to avoid the free-rider problem in which nonparticipating creditors benefit from the increased value of debt holdings.

International Trade ________________________________________________________________________ The LDCs generally gain from a free trade policy wherein they produce goods in which they have a comparative advantage. Factor endowment and technology help determine a country's comparative advantage. Exceptions to the free trade argument include increasing returns to scale, external economies, potential technological borrowing, changes in factor endowment, a revenue tariff, increased employment, improved balanced of trade, greater domestic stability, national defense, antidumping, and reduced luxury consumption. In the more than one hundred years since the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the commodity terms of trade of primary product exporters have probably fallen. Export promotion is generally more effective than import substitution in expanding output and employment. Rapid growth in LDC manufactured exports in the last few decades was primarily concentrated in middle income countries, such as Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Spain, Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Although the generalized system of tariff preferences and the 1970s' Tokyo Round negotiations reduced DC tariffs on selected LDC imports, these gains may have been outweighed by losses from protectionist policies set up during the 1980s. Additionally DCs increased nontariff trade barriers against LDC imports, especially labor intensive goods, in the late 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. For DCs with no tariff on LDC primary products but a substantial tariff on manufacturing and processing that uses primary goods as inputs, the nominal rate of protection is greater than the effective rate of protection. Expanding primary exports stimulated rapid economic growth in a number of Western countries in the nineteenth century, but this approach has had a more limited impact on growth in today's LDCs. Although the IMF's and European Union's compensatory financing schemes have helped stabilize LDC export earnings, a common fund has not been established, and buffer stock agreements have been of limited value. Agricultural subsidies in the United States, European Union, and Japan are major barriers against LDC farm exports. The LDCs with a foreign exchange price below the market clearing price can improve import rationing, encourage import substitution, and promote exports by depreciating their currencies. Yet the gains may be limited if domestic prices are still repressed. Regional economic integration among LDCs or of LDCs with DCs has the potential for limited gains in LDC economic growth. However, regional free trade, while superior to bilateral trade agreements, is inferior to worldwide free trade in global efficiency. Developing countries gain from integration within the Asian and North American borderless economies. However, members of these economies need to ensure that they do not sacrifice their economic autonomy and gains from learning to integration as a peripheral economy within a Japanese- or U.S.-organized borderless economy.

Development Planning and Policymaking: the State, and the Market ________________________________________________________________________ A state planning ideology arose in LDCs as a reaction to nationalist perceptions of slow economic growth under colonial capitalism. Development planning is the government's coordinated policies to achieve national economic goals, such as rapid economic growth. Deepak Lal argues that development economics is dominated by dirigiste, those in favor of government intervention into LDC prices. Planning in many LDCs has failed because detailed programs for the public sector have not been worked out, and excessive controls are used in the private sector. At one pole, Soviet "controlling" planning, which took years to develop, was still subject to decentralized management discretion, even before the Gorbachev era. The plan and market are separate ways of coordinating transactions. Although the market allocates scarce resources efficiently among alternative means, it may not work so well as planning in considering externalities, correcting for market failure, mobilizing saving, and adjusting for monopolies. Thus planning eliminates certain costs of the market but also increases large-scale diseconomies through diminishing returns to management. The choice for developing countries is usually not between the plan and the market, but between various combinations of the two. Worker managed socialism helped contribute to Yugoslavia's rapid economic growth from 1959 to 1979, but 1976 reforms, increasing checks and balances and bureaucratizing enterprise decision making, hampered policy implementation and increased worker dissatisfaction. Most LDCs have too few resources, skills, and data to benefit from complex macroeconomic planning models. Yet a simple aggregate model may be useful as a first step in drawing up policies and projects. An input output table is useful for assessing the effects of different development strategies on exports, imports, the balance of payments, employment, national income, and sectoral investment demand and output. Most LDCs with a large private sector are limited to an indicative plan that states expectations, aspirations, and intentions but authorizes little public spending. In most mixed and capitalist LDCs, documents showing how to improve data collection, raise revenue, recruit personnel, and select and implement projects are more important for successful planning than planning models.

Stabilization, Adjustment, Reform, and Privatization ________________________________________________________________________ Many third-world countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America can learn from Russia's, Poland's, and China's efforts at liberalization and adjustment. Russia's state socialism, more developed and deep-seated than Poland's and China's, required more substantial institutional change for successful transition to the market Russia's legacies of consumer-goods neglect, gigantimania and industrial concentration, resistance to technological innovation, shoddy quality, quota disincentives, and information concealment were more institutionalized than Poland's. Peter Nolan (1995) has two explanations for the success of China's economic growth and reforms compared to Russias: (1) Chinas pursuit of economic reforms while avoiding political liberalization (similar to other East Asian fast-growing economies) and (2) China's step-by-step approach to economic reform, rejecting "shock therapy," especially as practiced by the IMF and World Bank. John Ross (1994:19-28) provides several rules for liberalization policy, based on the experiences of China, Russia, and Eastern Europe. In agriculture, China decollectivized much more successfully than Russia, which stifled private initiative and marketization. In industry, China encountered many of the same stubborn interests opposing liberalization as Russia did. Third-world countries should not follow the path of Russia or China to reform, although these countries can learn lessons from Russia and China. Each developing country needs to find its own path toward adjustment and development.

10. The Questions Every Entrepreneur Must Answer
Missing: phones china.
Diversify your product line. Stick to your knitting. Hire a professional manager. Watch fixed costs. Those are some of the suggestions that entrepreneurs sort through as they try to get their ventures off the ground. Why all the conflicting advice? Because in a young company, all decisions are up for grabs. Based on his observations of several hundred start-up ventures over eight years, Amar Bhidé has developed a three-step sequence of questions that all entrepreneurs must ask themselves in order to establish priorities among the vast array of opportunities and problems they face: What are my goals? Do I have the right strategy? Can I execute the strategy? Before entrepreneurs can set goals for a business, they must articulate their personal goals. They may want, for instance, to attain a certain lifestyle, experiment with technology, or build an institution that can outlive them. Only when entrepreneurs decide what they want from their businesses can they determine what kind of company they must build, what they are willing to risk, and whether they have a well-defined strategy. Great strategies, however, don’t guarantee great execution. A venture may fail if its founders do not hire the best people, attract capital, invest in organizational infrastructure, and shape a culture to suit the venture’s strategy. Founders must also consider the evolution of their personal roles. Entrepreneurs cannot build self-sustaining companies simply by “letting go.” While they sketch out the future, entrepreneurs must manage as if the company were about to go under. They must continually acquire new skills—and continually ask themselves where they want to go and how they will get there.
