The term “progress ”implies a movement for the better…..
Pareto Optimality or Parentian Optimum
- it declares that a change w/c makes somebody richer but nobody poorer is desirable.
Economic Growth
- shows an increase in per capital income.

Economic Development- a process whereby the real per
capital income of a country increases over a period of time.
Balanced Growth Thesis- Underdevelopment must be
overcome through simultaneous investment in diff. fields.

Unbalanced Growth Thesis
- some sector in the economy lead in initiating Economic Growth.

Two major strands to the study of Development
Stages of Economic Growth
- development is seen as a series of successive stages through w/c all countries must pass.
Structural-Internalist Theories
(a)Neo-Colonical (or Neo-Marxist)/ Dependence Model
(b)False Paradigm Model

Perspective of development
Psychological – speeds up or delays behaviors, attitudes and values; its basis is the human person which in fact is the root in which human society thrives.
Behavioral – requires the analysis of its determinants or that which affect responses.

Economic Development Theories
The three building blocks of most Growth Models are:
The production function
The saving function; and
The labor supply function
![Page 15: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Harrod-Domar Model
ag = _s_ k
by Sir Roy Harrod of Britain and E.V Domar of USA.
commonly used during the early postwar times by developing countries in economic planning.

Exogenous Growth Model( Neoclassical Growth Model)
An economic theory that outlines how a steady economic growth rate will be accomplished with the proper amounts of the three driving forces: labor, capital and technology.
![Page 17: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Surplus Labor Model
- is an economic development model and not an economic growth model.
- the development process is triggered by the transfer of surplus labor in the traditional sector to the modern sector in which some significant economic activities have already begun.
![Page 18: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Stages of Economic GrowthThe theory is intended as a direct counter
to the Marxist Stage Theory of Capitalist Development. The basic proposition is that all countries are located in one of a hierarchy of developmental stages:
• Traditional Society
• Transitional Stage: Preconditions for Take-Off
• Take-Off
• Drive to maturity
• High Mass Consumption

The Big Push/Balanced Growth
- the "big push" was to develop industry and not agriculture, although agriculture could not be ignored. This was the way to break the vicious circle of poverty. The vicious circle of poverty is perpetuated by the lack of capital.
![Page 20: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Unbalanced Growth- Unbalanced Growth recognized both
backward (inputs create demand for other products) and forward (Inputs to other industries) linkages.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
- Human Welfare is the essence of development. Human development. Human development is the process of enlarging people’s choice. There are three(3) essential areas of opportunity:• to lead a long and healthy life.• to acquire knowledge • to have access to resources needed for a
decent standard of living.
![Page 22: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Human Development
• "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts:
![Page 23: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• the concept of needs, in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and
• the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs."

National Income Accounts and Related Issues
![Page 25: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Gross National Product (GNP)
is the market value of final goods and services produced in a year by domestically owned factors of production.
• Final Goods
are goods that are ultimately consumed rather than used in the production of another good.
![Page 26: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• National Income
is the flow of income and expenditure measures of the country.
• Nominal GNP
is the market value of a nation's aggregate production of final output based on current prices for the goods and services produced during the year.
![Page 27: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Real GNP
is the measure of the value of a nation's aggregate output of final products obtained by using market prices prevailing for products during a certain base or reference year.
• Aggregate Real Income
is the nominal (money) income of a nation, adjusted for inflation, expectations of equivalent to real GNP.
![Page 28: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
•Net Export

![Page 29: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Aggregate Expendituresthe nominal income of a nation, adjust for inflation. The four (4) categories are:
• Personal Consumption Expenditures
• Gross Private Investment
• Government Purchases of goods and services
• Net Exports
![Page 30: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

GNP per person is often used as a measure of people’s welfare.
Limitations to the usefulness of GNP as a measure of welfare:
• Measure of GNP typically exclude unpaid economic activity.
• GNP takes no account of the inputs used to produce the output.
![Page 32: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Comparison of GNP from one country to another may be distorted by movements in exchange rates.
• GNP does not take into account many factors that maybe important to quality of life.
![Page 33: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
GNP adjustment for price changes
• GNP is precise if prices and the value of the peso remain constant.
• Inflation
-increase in the price level
• Deflation
-decrease in the price level
![Page 34: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Aggregate demand components
• Aggregate Demand
- demand for the total output of the economy.
Formula to get the total demand for output:
AD=C+I+G+(X-M)
GNP=C+I+G+(X-M)
![Page 35: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
AD= aggregate demand X= exports
C= consumption expenditures M= imports
I= investment expenditures
G= government expenditures

![Page 41: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Precautions for Product Method

• Value Addition in Particular Year
• Stock Appreciation
• Production for Self Consumption
![Page 42: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Expenditure Method
The Expenditure Approach measures National Income as total spending on final goods and services produced within nation during a year.
![Page 43: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Consumption Expenditure (C)
- expenditure on all goods and services produced and sold to the final consumer during the year.
Investment Expenditure (I)
- expenditure incurred on by business firms on (a) new plants, (b) adding to the stock of inventions and (c) on newly constructed houses.
![Page 44: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Government Expenditure (G)
- all government expenditure on currently produced goods and services but excludes transfer payments while computing national income.
![Page 45: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Net Export Expenditure (X - M)
- National Income calculated from the expenditure side is the sum of final consumption expenditure, expenditure by business on plants, government spending, and net exports.
NI = C + I + G + (X - M)
![Page 46: Welfare economics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54bbda944a7959b9028b4571/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
