This document provides an introduction to economic development. It defines economic development as improving human freedoms and reducing poverty, inequality, and unemployment. The key goals of economic development are outlined in the Millennium Development Goals and are measured by indicators such as the Human Development Index which considers education, life expectancy, and income. However, the HDI has limitations as it does not account for other important factors like political freedoms, income distribution, or qualitative changes over time. Common characteristics of lower income countries are also presented such as lower productivity and incomes as well as higher inequality, which can lead to social and economic costs if left unaddressed.

Over the past two decades and, particularly after the Social Summit in Copenhagen, development
practice increasingly has paid more attention to the underlying causes of poverty and social
exclusion. The World Bank, like other international agencies, has concluded that understanding
the socio-cultural, political, and institutional context is essential for developing actions that
induce and support changes leading to poverty reduction and more inclusive, accountable, and
cohesive societies and institutions.-World Bank

THE CONCEPT OF DEVELOPMENT AND UNDER-DEVELOPMENT
What is development?
In general, development is the process of improving the quality of human life.
The economic view of development is that it is the capacity of a national economy whose initial economic condition has been more or less static for a long period of time, to generate and ascertain an annual increase in its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at the rate of 5% to 7%.
Development includes: quantity of resources available, equitable distribution of income, people’s quality of life e.g. access to education, healthcare, employment opportunities, security, etc.
· Development is a multi-dimensional process involving major changes in social structures, personal attributes and national institutions.
· Development is progressive
· The new economic view of development defines economic development in terms of its reduction or elimination of poverty, inequality and unemployment within the context of a growing economy.
Underdevelopment:
This is a state of inadequate development. It is characterized by diverse problems including unemployment, low level of technology and skills, under-utilization of resources, low literacy levels, confusion and ignorance, hopelessness, etc. It affects more than 3 billion people in the world.
Objectives of development
1. To increase availability and widespread distribution of basic life-sustaining goods such as food, shelter, security and health.
2. To raise the standards of living with emphasis on higher income, better education and greater attention to cultural and human values, all of which serve not only to enhance material well-being but also to generate individual and national esteem.
3. Expansion of the range of economic and social choices available to individuals and the nations in order to free them from servitude and dependency.
Core values of development
(i) Sustenance: This means the ability to meet basic needs. All people have certain basic needs without which life would be impossible. These life-sustaining human needs include food, shelter, health and protection. Their absence implies a condition of absolute underdevelopment.
· A basic function of all human activity is to provide as many people as possible with the means of overcoming the helplessness and misery arising from lack of the above.
· Without sustained and continuous economic progress at the individual as well as society level, the realization of human potential would not be possible.
(ii) Self-esteem : This means a sense of worth and self respect
· The nature and form of this self-esteem may vary from society to society, culture to culture.
(iii) Freedom from servitude: This means human freedom i.e. emancipation from alienating materials e.g. conditions of life and from social servitude to nature, ignorance, other people, misery, institutions and dogmatic beliefs.

Inclusive growth in India- prospects and challenges Jagriti Rohit
India’s government has made “inclusive growth” a key element of their policy platform, stating as a goal: “Achieving a growth process in which people in different walks in life… feel that they too benefit significantly from the process.” (Ahluwalia, 2007)
In this revision presentation we look at recent trends in UK trade union membership, consider how trade unions can affect both pay and employment and challenge the textbook view that union-negotiated pay increases inevitably have negative consequences for employment.
In this revision presentation we cover key examples of pure and quasi public goods and consider the arguments for and against an increase in government spending on public goods.
Poverty Reduction Policies in Low Income Countriestutor2u
This revision presentation covers some of the main causes of continued high levels of extreme poverty in low and middle income countries and considers a range of pro-poor government interventions designed to increase productivity and regular employment and waged income in formal labour markets.
You don’t need to produce a lot of evidence in your macroeconomics exams but knowing some basic and key facts and figures can make your answers stand out from the crowd! Here is a quickfire journey through twenty important economic numbers that won’t change before the exam – use them to support your answer and impress the examiner!
Microeconomics - Great Applied Examples for Examstutor2u
In this presentation, I have chosen loads of current examples that you might want to use as context in your microeconomics exams. We look at examples from different market structures, recent mergers and takeovers, the world's most valuable companies, the largest employer, unicorn business, de-mergers, the biggest initial public offerings (IPOs) and much else. Hopefully a useful video to go through to add some super examples into your revision notes.
This revision presentation considers the variety of stakeholders impacted by business activity. How will a change in objectives, such as a move from profit maximisation to revenue maximisation have an effect on different stakeholders?
This revision presentation looks at profit satisficing as an alternative objective for businesses. Why might firms satisfice? What are some of the possible consequences for economic welfare and efficiency?
In this short revision video, we look at the substantial productivity gap between the UK and many of the UK’s major competitor countries.
Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist said twenty fives years ago that “Productivity isn’t everything, but in the long run it is almost everything,”
In this presentation we consider the theory of wage-setting with a monopsony employer and the possible impact that a trade union might have on wages and employment. We also look at efficiency wage theory and mutual gains from pay bargaining between stakeholders.
For many economists, the labour market is the most important market of all to study, analyse and evaluate. Like product markets for goods and services, labour markets can also fail. The main types of labour market failure are labour immobility including skills gaps, inequality, disincentives to be economically active, labour market discrimination and the effects of monopsony power of employers.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.

What website can I sell pi coins securely.DOT TECH
Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell to these crypto whales and holders of pi..
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.

4. “Development is the expansion of people’s freedom to live
long, healthy and creative lives; to advance other goals they
have reason to value; and to engage actively in shaping
development equitably and sustainably on a shared planet.”
(Source: United Nations)
The Meaning of Economic Development
1. Dudley Sears has defined development as “the
reduction and elimination of poverty, inequality and
unemployment within a growing economy”
2. Nobel Economist Amartya Sen writing in
“Development as Freedom”, sees economic
development as being concerned with improving the
freedoms and capabilities of the disadvantaged,
thereby enhancing the overall quality of life
5. Millennium Development Goals (MDG)
Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
Achieve universal primary education
Promote gender equality and empower women
Reduce child mortality
Improve maternal health
Combat HIV / AIDS, malaria and other diseases
Ensure environmental sustainability
Develop a global partnership for development
6. The Human Development Index (HDI)
• HDI focuses on longevity, basic education and minimal income
1. Knowledge: First an educational component made up of two
statistics – mean years of schooling and expected years of
schooling
2. Long and healthy life: Second a life expectancy component is
calculated using a minimum value for life expectancy of 25
years and maximum value of 85 years
3. A decent standard of living: The final element is gross
national income (GNI) per capita adjusted to purchasing
power parity standard (PPP)
• GNI is now used because of growing size of remittances
• Log of income is used in the HDI calculation because income is
instrumental to human development but higher incomes are
assumed to have a declining extra contribution to human
development
7. Limitations of the Human Development Index (HDI)
1. HDI fails to take account of qualitative factors, such as
cultural identity and political freedoms (human security,
gender opportunities and human rights for example)
2. The GNI per capita figure – and consequently the HDI figure
– takes no account of income distribution. If income is
unevenly distributed, then GNI per capita will be an
inaccurate measure of the monetary well-being of the
people. Inequitable development is not human development
3. Purchasing power parity (PPP) values used to adjust GNI
data change quickly and can be inaccurate or misleading
4. 2010 saw launch of a new Inequality-adjusted HDI, a
Gender Inequality Index and a Multidimensional Poverty
Index. Average loss in the HDI due to inequality is about 23%
8. Common Characteristics of Lower Income Countries
• Relatively low incomes per capita and a low level of absolute savings
• High levels of income and wealth inequality (high Gini coefficient)
• Lower absolute levels of productivity (labour and capital)
• Often have natural resources but many countries remain poor
• Higher dependency on export incomes from primary commodities
• Large % of population living in rural areas and employed in agriculture
• Limited scope and support provided by a welfare system
• Higher informal sector for example in partial subsistence farming
• Relatively fast growth of population and a younger average age
• Rapid urbanisation and large-scale rural-urban migration
• Weaknesses in institutions such as stable government, civil service
• Relatively higher tariffs and other import controls
• Tendency to have capital controls / relatively closed capital markets
• Lower access to advanced (high-income) country markets
9. Economic & Social Costs of High Inequality in LICs
Social unrest and civil disobedience
• Strikes and demonstrations over poor pay and
conditions at Foxconn in China which produces
iPhones and iPads
Self-perpetuating poverty cycle
• Limited access to health care and education
• Volatile incomes, high debts
• Low savings
Misallocation of scarce resources
Investment skewed towards preferences of the rich
Low collateral – limits entrepreneurship
