Three Lectures on Economic Efficiency and Growth Thorvaldur Gylfason
Outline and aims Present a policy-oriented overview of theory and empirical evidence of economic growth Trace linkages between economic growth and its main determinants: saving, investment, and economic efficiency ü ü ü Exogenous vs. endogenous growth Liberalization, stabilization, privatization Education, institutions, natural resources
Outline and aims Lecture I Saving, efficiency, and economic growth Lecture II Economic policy and growth Lecture III Education, natural resources, institutions, and empirical evidence
1 Introduction Growth theory As old as economics itself Smith, Marshall, Schumpeter, Keynes Explicit growth theory started with Harrod and Domar in 1940 s Why important? Unfashionable in 1960 s and 1970 s Limits to growth, etc. Growth and development

A tale of two countries Lee Kwan Yew, of Singapore (19591991), would not be surprised “Asian values” vs. Western democracy ü “I thought then that wealth depended mainly on the possession of territory and natural resources, whether fertile land. . . , or valuable resources minerals, or oil and gas. It was only after I had been in office for some years that I recognized. . . that the decisive factors were the people, people their natural abilities, education and training. ”

Solow model: Conclusion Three main points to note Long-run growth is exogenous: g = n + q ü ü No role for economic forces, policy or institutions, just technology But education is good for growth Model implies convergence ü Poor countries grow more rapidly than rich The medium term can be quite long ü Growth is endogenous for a long while

How growth becomes endogenous Solow model: when s rises, E = Y/K falls due to decreasing returns to capital, so g stays put Endogenous growth: when s rises, E stays put due to constant returns to capital, so g rises
From efficiency to growth Basic result If it – anything! – increases economic efficiency, it is also good for growth Follows from Harrod-Domar model as well as from endogenous-growth theory and also, as a proposition about the medium run, from the Solow model In practice, Solow model and endogenous growth are hard to distinguish So, let’s look more closely at efficiency

Empirical growth research 1) Cross-country regressions ü Large samples, beginning in 1960 or 1970 2) Cross sections vs. panels 3) Averages vs. initial values of independent variables ü Cost of simultaneity bias vs. cost of discarding available data 4) Recursive modeling vs. instruments 5) Levels of income vs. rates of growth
Recursive modeling Growth regression g = a 0 – a 1 y 0 + a 2 x + a 3 z (1) z = b 0 + b 1 y 0 – b 2 x (2) where x is exogenous and z is endogenous where z is, say, education and x is natural resource reliance Eq. (2) makes z exogenous, so (1) and (2) can be estimated by OLS TSLS calls for instruments that help explain z without being correlated with g: Not easy
