Economic Growth Basics Traditional view of capital (Harrod-Domar, Solow Models)
• Tangible, includes the economy’s stock of equipment and structures• Return to capital is the profit received by the owners of equipment and
structures A new view on capital (Mankiw, Phelps and Romer 1995)
• Capital with externalities• If new ideas arise as capital is built and others benefit
• Human capital• Capital is much broader concept than suggested by the national income accounts• People accumulate capital whenever they forgo consumption today in order to
produce more income tomorrow• Schooling and on-the-job training is also investment

Growth accounting with human-capital-adjusted labor input Modified production function to capture the
contribution of education (“brains”) and the size of the labor force (“brawn”)
• S is the years of schooling• P is participation rate• ω is returns to education

Determinants of income per capita Growth (1) After rearranging (A), substituting (B) into (A), and
representing income in per capita term we get:
• where gx is the growth rate of variable x
Income growth per capita is a result of:• Growth in technology gA• Changes in capacity which are determined by:
• Growth in the capital stock per unit of labor adjusted for skills• Growth in the labor participation rate• Growth in returns to education and years of schooling• Demographic changes leading to changes in the dependency ratio
What else? • Whatever is not explicitly in the production function: TFP

Determinants of income per capita Growth (2)
Total Factor Productivity, i.e. the residual between the LHS and RHS
Possible Determinants of Total Factor Productivity
• Trade• Governments• Gender• Inequality• Governance• Institutions

Determinants of TFP for income per capita Growth : Issues
Issues of causality: what determines what over what time period
Can one really say that by increasing a factor, one will then a higher TFP and consequently a higher growth rate?

Sustainable and Inclusive Growth in the Americas : Challenges and Constraints
Expectations: Gini Reduction should be understood in the context of a very high level.
Heterogeneity: within and across countries Infrastructure Population aging Trade, Natural Resources Economy Diversification Productivity Increase Governance Luck and Shocks

Sustainable and Inclusive Growth in the Americas: Canada’s Role
In 2009, according to DAC, Canada spent close to $US 541 millions. United States: $US 2B on LAC countries.
In 2009, remittances from workers abroad into LAC countries 56,600,951,140 US$ (US$ 56 billion), which represents about 1.7% of the total GDP of the LAC countries.
Official Development Assistance has relatively a small role, if any, in creating macroeconomic growth, as defined here.

Canadian Government:(from the Web): CIDA’s Priority Themes
CIDA has also chosen priority themes on which to concentrate its efforts. These are areas where Canada has proven its leadership:
Increasing food security Securing the future of children and youth Stimulating sustainable economic growth
![Page 18: Presentation ccic fg_january23](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051512/5444532eb1af9f700a8b486c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Web: CIDA’s Sustainable Economic Growth Strategy
Through the Sustainable Economic Growth Strategy, CIDA will focus its main targeted investments to support sustainable economic growth that:• Fosters a stable foundation for viable businesses and
industries to thrive• Increases opportunities for meaningful employment,
particularly in the formal economy• Maximizes the contribution of growth to the public
resources available for investment in the welfare of the population
![Page 19: Presentation ccic fg_january23](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051512/5444532eb1af9f700a8b486c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
CIDA'S Sustainable Economic Growth Strategy
The strategy also integrates environmental sustainability, equality between women and men, and governance as essential considerations to achieve sustainable economic growth.
Within the strategy, CIDA will focus on three paths: Building economic foundations Growing businesses Investing in people

Comments and Suggestions
Broad set of Principles, not a strategy per se. These principles cover a lot of ground in the
growth and poverty literature Not about Children and Youth. Not about Food Security. In 2009, $700 million over 20 or so countries. Limited Impact in terms of macroeconomic growth. More likely in micro terms, over a long period.

Comments and Suggestions
IDRC’s Supportive Inclusive Growth (SIG) program.
This “strategy” offers flexibility, particularly at the micro level.
