This document discusses Ethiopia's development strategies and structural transformation. It provides background on Agricultural Development Led Industrialization (ADLI), Ethiopia's initial strategy to achieve growth through agricultural transformation. While ADLI has helped reduce poverty and increase growth, the industrial sector share remains low. The document argues for a policy transition from ADLI to industrialization-led development to accelerate structural change and establish industry as an economic leader. It examines the experiences of East Asian countries and conditions needed to promote industrialization.
Export-Oriented Industrialization (EOI): Arguments for and Against What Have ...Dr.Choen Krainara
This document discusses export-oriented industrialization (EOI) strategies adopted by developing countries. It provides background on global industrial trends, the state of industrial development in developing countries and least developed countries. It notes that while EOI helped some countries like Japan and South Korea industrialize rapidly, the impacts have been mixed in other developing nations. The document aims to analyze the arguments for and against EOI strategies, and experiences of different countries in applying these policies to promote development.
Export-Oriented Industrialization (EOI): Arguments For and Against What Have ...Dr.Choen Krainara
1. Export-Oriented Industrialization (EOI) involves countries promoting industrialization through exporting goods they have a comparative advantage in. Developing countries adopted EOI strategies in the 1960s to earn foreign exchange and reduce trade deficits.
2. EOI provides benefits like greater economies of scale, technological progress, employment growth, and learning effects. However, developing countries face constraints like limited export opportunities, high costs of export incentives, and lack of technological capabilities.
3. East Asian countries successfully used EOI strategies to drive long-term growth, while EOI has had mixed results in other developing regions. Only a few industries and firms in developing countries have been able to significantly expand exports
Foreign trade and economic growth in nigeria (1980 2010)Alexander Decker
1. The document discusses foreign trade and economic growth in Nigeria from 1980-2010. It analyzes how foreign trade has impacted Nigeria's economy and growth over this period.
2. Nigeria traditionally relied on agricultural exports like cocoa, palm oil, and groundnuts, but since the 1960s oil has dominated exports. Oil exports now account for over 90% of total exports.
3. While foreign trade can promote growth, Nigeria still faces economic instability and import dependence. The heavy reliance on oil exports has also neglected development of other sectors like agriculture.
Import Substitution Vs Export Orientation; Case Study of Korean EconomyHisahito Shinno
Countries that pursued an import substitution strategy saw slower economic growth than those with an outward-looking trade policy. Import substitution led to inefficient domestic industries protected behind trade barriers, worsening balance of payments, and inhibited growth of linkages between industries. In contrast, countries like South Korea that emphasized export promotion through strategic industry protection and alliances between government and business saw rapid economic development, transforming from poverty to high income in a generation through competitive manufactured exports.
Public policy and trade liberalisation in nigerian economic developmentAlexander Decker
This document discusses public policy and trade liberalization in Nigerian economic development. It provides background on Nigeria's trade policies since 1986, which centered on greater market openness and integration into the global economy. It analyzes the impacts of specific trade liberalization policies like trade openness, privatization, investment flows, and import tariffs on Nigeria's economic development. The analysis finds that trade liberalization has not had a positive impact on Nigeria's economic development. Accountability, transparency, and good governance are recommended to improve economic policy and encourage self-reliance through export promotion and import substitution.
Nigeria china trade relations implication on the nigerian domestic economyAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a research study on the trade relations between Nigeria and China and its implications for Nigeria's domestic economy. The following key points are made:
1) Trade between Nigeria and China has increased significantly in recent decades, reaching $7.7 billion in 2010, however China exports more to Nigeria than it imports, resulting in a trade imbalance.
2) Nigerian manufacturers and entrepreneurs perceive that the influx of cheap Chinese imports is negatively impacting the competitiveness of domestic industry due to issues like substandard goods and lack of access to credit and stable electricity.
3) For Nigeria to better leverage its relationship with China and grow its domestic economy, the study recommends that the Nigerian government encourage more direct

Newly Industrialised Countries 1233256504987187 1whiskeyhj
Newly industrialized countries (NICs) are less economically developed countries that have undergone rapid industrialization, experience high growth rates, and have international involvement. Examples include the Asian Tigers of Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Korea, which achieved high growth in the late 20th century. NICs have made progress through appropriate government intervention to improve markets, and by adopting an export-oriented economy. South Korea is a prime example of a NIC and tiger economy, achieving rapid growth in its manufacturing sector through exports of copied products at low prices. Asia provides advantages for industrial location, including cheap labor, transport access, growing domestic markets, and governments that encourage foreign investment.
This document discusses globalization in the Indian context and its effects. It begins by defining globalization and outlining its objectives such as reducing trade barriers and creating an environment for the free flow of capital, technology, and labor across national borders. It then discusses the types of globalization including political, social, and economic globalization. It also examines India's steps to implement globalization through reducing import duties, encouraging foreign investment and technology agreements. The impacts of globalization in India are then outlined, such as increased trade, growth, and opportunities for women and technology sector. Finally, it discusses some major Indian companies that benefited from globalization and the effects of globalization on business environment through increased competition and awareness of customer needs.
Import substitution policies attempt to reduce a country's reliance on imports by promoting local production of goods, especially industrial products. While this strategy led to some successes in agriculture in countries like Sri Lanka, allowing industries to develop without international competition generally led to inefficiencies and unsustainable debt. Most analyses of India's import substitution policies found that the strategy's heavy protectionism, price controls, and lack of incentives for innovation imposed serious supply-side constraints on long-term industrial and economic growth.
NICs are countries that have experienced rapid industrialization and economic growth in recent decades. They are characterized by high investment, capital formation funded by domestic savings, a high propensity to export manufactured goods, and rapid productivity growth. Reasons for their growth include adopting imported technology, cheap labor, export-oriented policies, and government intervention to promote development. While NICs still rely on technology from advanced countries, some have become countries of origin for TNCs themselves and now invest in other developing and developed countries.

a) Characteristics of developed, developing and emerging
economies.
b) Growing economic power of countries within Asia, Africa and other
parts of the world.
c) Implications of economic growth for individuals and businesses:
• trade opportunities for businesses
• employment patterns.
d) Indicators of growth:
• gross domestic product (GDP) and GDP per capita
• human development index (HDI).
The document discusses several approaches to economic development, including "trickle down" or "top down" approaches that focus on enabling large companies and wealthy individuals to thrive with the goal that their success will benefit others. Other approaches discussed include growth pole theory, grassroots or "bottom up" development that focuses on directly helping lift people out of poverty, fair trade, regional development, export-led growth, import substitution, foreign direct investment, and contrasting Keynesian and neo-liberal economic philosophies. The United Nations Millennium Development Goals are also briefly outlined.
The document discusses opportunities for doing business in Africa. It notes that Africa has a growing population and economy, with many countries experiencing high GDP growth rates. Key sectors of interest for foreign investment include infrastructure, manufacturing, mining, agriculture and energy. Challenges still exist such as some political instability, but many countries have embraced market reforms and privatization to attract more foreign direct investment to support Africa's continued economic development.
The document discusses the relationship between politics and economics in various countries and contexts. It begins by introducing political economy and how politics can influence factors like economic policies, trade, GDP, and inequality. It then examines specific examples, including how wars, disasters, and environmental changes can impact the world economy. Regarding India, it notes how politicians have affected sectors like IT, agriculture, and corporations. It also provides overviews of the politics and economies of Afghanistan and Somalia, highlighting issues like civil war, corruption and famine. The conclusion acknowledges various information sources used in the document.

This document discusses emerging markets and economic development. It notes that China and other emerging markets will account for 75% of global growth in the next decade as their economies develop. As incomes rise in these countries, new patterns of consumer behavior emerge. The stages of economic development are outlined from traditional societies to high mass consumption. Data is presented on infrastructure, market indicators, and consumption patterns in selected developing countries. Vietnam and South Africa are highlighted as newest emerging markets that could see rapid growth if reforms continue.
India has the 11th largest GDP in the world and is a member of the G20 and BRICS. While India's per capita income is low, ranking 129th globally, its economy has grown significantly in recent decades through economic reforms and liberalization. The services sector contributes over half of India's GDP, while agriculture remains an important employer, with over half the population depending on it for livelihood. Infrastructure development, including investments in transportation and energy, remains a government priority to support continued economic growth.
Liberalization, Privatization & Globalization
This document defines key terms like liberalization, privatization, disinvestment and globalization. It discusses how decentralization, privatizing state-owned businesses, and increasing international integration have contributed to globalization. Major organizations that facilitate globalization are identified as the IMF, World Bank and WTO, which aim to reduce trade barriers and establish rules for the global economy.
Rostow proposed that countries pass through 5 stages of economic development:
1) Traditional society dominated by subsistence agriculture and barter trade. 2) Transitional stage with increased specialization and trade. 3) Take-off stage of industrialization driven by investment and economic growth. 4) Drive to maturity with economic diversification and innovation. 5) High mass consumption stage with consumer industries and service sector dominance.
The document provides an overview of the economy of India. It discusses India's economy from pre-colonial times through British colonial rule to the post-independence period. Some key points:
- India had a sizable economy in pre-colonial times, accounting for about 22.6% of world GDP in 1700 due to trade of spices and textiles.
- British colonial rule negatively impacted India's economy through taxation policies and drain of capital to Britain, reducing India's GDP share to 3.8% by 1952.
- After independence, India followed policies of protectionism, import substitution, and extensive state control and central planning until economic reforms began in 1991.
Africa 2050 Realizing the Continents Full PotentialDr Lendy Spires
This document presents a vision for Africa in 2050 called "Africa 2050: Realizing the Continent's Full Potential". The vision sees Africa achieving much higher living standards, with average per capita income increasing six-fold to $17,000, extreme poverty reduced dramatically, and 1.4 billion additional Africans joining the middle class. Key elements of the vision include much higher productivity, a thriving private sector, better integrated regions in Africa, and relationships with other world regions based more on trade and investment than aid. Achieving this vision will require leveraging drivers of change like population growth and urbanization, while managing risks like conflict and inequality. The document outlines a strategic framework and specific policy agenda to promote inclusive growth, competitive
The Copernican Revolution in the Study of Economic Growth John Ross
The document discusses a "Copernican revolution" in the study of economic growth, where new evidence and methods of analysis challenged existing theories. Specifically:
1. Long-term studies by Maddison showed capital investment, not total factor productivity (TFP) as theorized by Solow, was the main driver of economic growth.
2. Jorgenson developed methods accounting for quality changes in capital and labor, addressing flaws in Solow's growth accounting framework.
3. International organizations now recognize the importance of capital investment over TFP, abandoning the theory that TFP is the primary source of growth.
The document discusses emerging markets and economic development. It describes how countries have shifted from being hostile to foreign investment to seeking economic growth through globalization. Countries like China, India, and others are undergoing changes to become vast markets. The stages of economic development are outlined from traditional societies to mass consumption societies. Factors like infrastructure, information technology, and market forces shape how marketing strategies must be adapted for different levels of development in emerging economies.

Implications of Agricultural Productivity Growth for Structural Change and ...essp2
This document summarizes a presentation on agricultural productivity growth and structural change in Ethiopia. The key points are:
1) Ethiopia has experienced rapid economic growth averaging 10% annually since 2002, with growth occurring across all sectors. Agriculture remains an important driver of growth, growing at 7% annually.
2) While agriculture's share of employment has fallen from 80% to 73% according to surveys, this may overstate structural change due to changes in survey methodology. Adjusting for this, agriculture's employment share is estimated to have fallen more slowly to 78%.
3) Positive structural change, where workers move from low- to high-productivity sectors, accounted for 25% of growth in worker productivity between
Ethiopia has experienced rapid economic growth and poverty reduction over the last decade, with an average annual GDP growth of 10.9%. This growth has been driven primarily by the agricultural sector and public investment in infrastructure. The economy is transitioning from primarily agrarian to greater roles for secondary and tertiary sectors. Population growth presents both opportunities and challenges for continued economic expansion. Education and skills development will need to keep pace with structural changes in the economy and labor market. Social protection programs have helped support livelihoods but further expansion will be important. Sustaining growth will require developing domestic industry and managing macroeconomic and demographic factors.
Ipsos Consumer Confidence Index: August 2013Ipsos UK
The latest Ipsos Consumer Confidence Index provides further evidence that British consumers are becoming more optimistic about the state of the economy.
Some 23% now say the British economy is in “good” shape, up 4 points on June and more than double the level of twelve months ago (when the figure stood at 11%).
This pattern is not evident in all European countries. As the table below shows, in France, Italy and Spain, consumers are just as downbeat now in their assessments as they were a year ago.
TRANSFORMING ECONOMIES - MAKING INDUSTRIAL POLICY WORK FOR GROWTH, JOBS AND D...Ira Kristina Lumban Tobing
This document discusses industrial policy and productive transformation. It contains analyses of industrial policy experiences in different countries.
The document begins by describing how no country has achieved development without targeted industrial policies to modify its economic structure and boost dynamism. It then contains chapters analyzing industrial policy and capabilities development experiences in countries such as Costa Rica, South Korea, India, and analyses of export sophistication and the middle-income trap.
The concluding chapter notes that many countries now engage in industrial policy and this collection of theory and practice can help policymakers design effective industrial policies to promote growth, jobs and development.
The strategy of structural reforms in Uzbekistan is prepared to enhance the effectiveness of development efforts towards supporting the Republic of Uzbekistan in its aspirations to become an idustrialized upper middle-income country by the year 2030 through policy dialogue and development of a long-term strategy.
This document discusses structural changes in economies and their effects on economic growth. It defines structural change as long-term, widespread changes to an economy's fundamental structure. Structural changes include shifts from agriculture to industry and services, reallocation of labor to more productive sectors, and development of modern industries. The document analyzes patterns of structural change in different regions from 1970-2003, finding the most dynamic changes in East Asia through industrialization and capital investment. Countries that did not undergo substantial structural changes, like many in Africa, saw less economic growth.
The document provides an overview of onion production in Ethiopia and analyzes the onion value chain. It discusses how onion is an important vegetable crop in Ethiopia but productivity is lower than other countries due to limited availability of quality seeds and technologies. The value chain begins with land preparation and includes planting, harvesting, cleaning, and domestic marketing. Understanding the activities and relationships between actors in the chain can help identify inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement. The goal of the analysis is to investigate the current onion value chain in order to understand production, bottlenecks, and how to increase small farmer incomes through a demand-driven approach.
Работа над Национальной стратегией структурных реформ Узбекистана на период до 2030 г. «Видение – 2030» была запущена в рамках совместной инициативы Всемирного банка и Правительства Узбекистана, при поддержке ПРООН. ЦЭИ был выбран как один из главных национальных партнеров для разработки данной Концепции.
Стратегия структурных реформ Узбекистана разрабатывается в поддержку развития страны для перехода к 2030 году в группу стран со среднем уровнем дохода.
This document discusses structural transformation in Ethiopia, including a review of theory, experiences of other countries, and Ethiopia's status and prospects. It begins by defining structural transformation as changes in an economy's sectoral composition, capital accumulation, and location of economic activity. Key signs of transformation include rising income, higher capital accumulation rates, and shifts from agriculture to industry and rural to urban areas. The document then examines experiences in China and other countries, noting factors like initial conditions, policies, and performance that influenced their structural change.
Ethiopia is located in the Horn of Africa and has a long history as one of the oldest kingdoms in the world. Agriculture is the primary economic activity, contributing over 40% to GDP. Coffee is a major export crop. The population is over 88 million with over 80 ethnic groups and numerous local languages. Amharic is the most widely spoken language. While Ethiopia has experienced civil unrest and famine, the economy has grown in recent years with infrastructure development opportunities in agriculture, electricity, and IT. Maintaining cooperative relations with Egypt over shared water resources will be important for continued regional stability and investment.
This document discusses Pakistan's experience with import substitution and export promotion trade strategies over several decades. It begins by outlining the theoretical underpinnings of each approach and compares their advantages and disadvantages. The document then analyzes Pakistan's shifting trade policies from the post-WWII period to present, noting it has pursued both import substitution and export promotion at different times but without a consistent strategy. While liberalization in recent decades achieved some export growth, Pakistan has lagged behind its potential. The document concludes that Pakistan has yet to find the right balance between the two approaches for sustained growth.
Import Substitution in India: Issues, Challenges and PromotionAakriti Agarwal
This document provides an overview of import substitution in India. It discusses India's economic situation in the pre-liberalization and post-liberalization eras, including factors that led to India's balance of payments crisis in 1991. It then defines import substitution industrialization and explains how India has extensively launched its Make in India program to reduce imports and promote domestic production. The document goes on to analyze opportunities for import substitution in India's top four import commodities: oil, gold, electronics, and machinery.
The document outlines India's industrial policies since independence. Key policies include the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1948 which accepted a mixed economy with government monopoly in select industries. The 1956 policy emphasized heavy industries and expanding the public sector. The 1973 policy gave preference to small and medium enterprises. The 1980 policy promoted competition and 1991 policy deregulated industry, allowed private sector flexibility, and reduced licensing/controls.
The document discusses import substitution as a strategy for economic development. It defines import substitution as restricting imports that compete with domestic products in order to promote local production. The objectives of import substitution include promoting domestic industries, generating employment, and improving the balance of payments. While import substitution can increase employment and resilience, the industries may become inefficient without international competition. Effective import substitution requires industries that utilize local resources and demand.
The document summarizes India's New Industrial Policy of 1991. It overcame restrictions on industries, foreign capital, and technology from previous policies. The 1991 policy aimed to liberalize and integrate India's economy by removing unnecessary bureaucratic controls and restrictions on foreign investment. It abolished industrial licensing for most industries, reduced restrictions of the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, and allowed more foreign investment and technology transfers.
Least Developed Countries Report 2014 by UNCTAD United Nations
Presentation by David Woodward, Senior Adviser at UNCTAD. For the Release of the Least Developed Countries 2014 Report, on 27 November.
In its most recent flagship report, UNCTAD is proposing a post-2015 development agenda for the least developed countries (LDCs) to help them overcome current shortcomings in policy and the international economic system. Success, the report says, will depend on transforming their economies to complete a virtuous circle of economic and human development.
UNCTAD's Least Developed Countries Report 2014 – subtitled "Growth with Structural Transformation: a Post-2015 Development Agenda" – says that the international community must learn from the "LDC paradox" in which the poorest countries failed to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) despite strong economic growth, and outlines a plan for the 48 LDCs based on this finding. The report highlights three key policy priorities as part of a post-2015 development agenda for LDCs: mobilizing resources for investment in such a way as to maximize their development impact; directing these resources towards economic activities which will contribute decisively to economic transformation; and establishing macroeconomic policies which promote investment and demand growth rather than inhibiting them. Diversifying rural economies will also be a key element of the transformation.
Pakistan has experienced varying economic conditions under different rulers since independence in 1947. The early years from 1947-1958 focused on economic planning and development as the new nation took shape. Rapid growth occurred from 1958-1968 under Ayub Khan as the private sector expanded. However, income inequality also grew. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's rule from 1971-1977 saw a downturn as policies became more restrictive. Zia-ul-Haq from 1977-1988 liberalized the economy and benefited from foreign aid, fueling a second economic revolution. Democracy returned from 1988-1999 but instability remained. Pervez Musharraf oversaw growth from 1999-2007 before economic indicators showed failure by 2000-2003. The current era from
The industrial policy of a country aims to encourage development of the manufacturing sector and other parts of the economy. Major objectives of India's industrial policy include rapid industrial development, balanced growth across industries, preventing concentration of economic power, and balanced regional development. The industrial policy has evolved over time through various resolutions and statements starting in 1948, with recent policies in 1991 focusing on liberalization, enhancing small businesses, and making industries more competitive.
This document discusses rural development policies and strategies in Ethiopia. It outlines that Ethiopia has a large agricultural sector constrained by low productivity and incomes. A key strategy adopted was Agricultural Development Led Industrialization (ADLI), which aimed to boost agricultural output and productivity to serve as an engine for industrialization and overall economic growth. The goals of rural development policies included enhancing smallholder farmers, ensuring food security, developing infrastructure and basic services, and promoting non-farm enterprises. Government intervention was needed due to issues like income inequality, poverty, and the small and unorganized nature of rural enterprises.
This document summarizes a study on the impact of microfinance programs in Ethiopia's Amhara region. It provides background on poverty in Ethiopia and the government's strategy of promoting rural finance. It then describes the Amhara Credit and Savings Institution (ACSI), the largest microfinance institution operating in Amhara. While ACSI has expanded services reaching over 550,000 clients, the study aims to evaluate its impact using a conceptual framework that analyzes microenterprises as part of household economic portfolios. Both quantitative and qualitative research was conducted comparing over 1,600 clients and non-clients to understand the program's impact on areas like food security, health, education, and empowerment. Preliminary findings suggest positive
The document summarizes Ethiopia's industrial policies under the current EPRDF regime since 1991. It discusses how the regime has implemented policies to strengthen the economy through an export-led industrialization strategy. Some of the key policies discussed include the Industrial Development Strategy (IDS) from 2002-2003, which aims to promote labor-intensive and export-oriented industries. IDS utilizes four main tools - stabilizing macroeconomic variables like inflation; creating a business friendly environment; building infrastructure; and providing support to competitive industries like flowers. While these policies have achieved some success, Ethiopia still faces challenges like high inflation, lack of foreign investment, and weak logistics sectors.
Ethiopia’s Manufacturing Industry Opportunities, Challenges and Way Forward: ...CrimsonpublishersNTNF
This document provides an overview of Ethiopia's manufacturing industry, including its opportunities, challenges, and way forward. Some key points:
- Ethiopia has experienced rapid economic growth in recent decades, but manufacturing makes up a small portion of GDP and is underdeveloped compared to other sectors.
- The top manufacturing subsectors by value added are food and beverages, non-metallic minerals, and metal/engineering. However, exports remain primarily agricultural commodities rather than value-added goods.
- Major challenges for manufacturing growth include an unskilled workforce, limited infrastructure, shallow R&D, and underdeveloped market systems.
- To strengthen manufacturing, the document recommends strategies like skills training, integrated

Description of Assignment:
Using the information available in the case, plus your work in the pre-work (economic analysis on Ethiopia) to support your arguments, make a recommendation as to whether any of the companies in the case should enter Ethiopia, and explain why.
Cooperatives play a significant role in Ethiopia's economy and efforts to achieve development goals. They contribute greatly as suppliers of agricultural inputs and in generating foreign exchange earnings and employment. Cooperative membership has increased significantly in recent years. However, cooperatives face constraints that limit their potential contributions, such as limited engagement in business areas beyond agricultural inputs and lack of gender sensitivity in their membership. The study analyzes cooperative development trends, roles in input supply and exports, employment effects, and constraints on development in Ethiopia to better understand how cooperatives can be strengthened and their contributions revitalized.
The document discusses India's 12th Five Year Plan and its focus on inclusive growth. Some key points:
1) The 12th Five Year Plan aims to accelerate economic growth to 9% through private sector investment while also focusing on inclusive growth and reducing regional disparities.
2) It identifies four critical challenges: managing energy, water, urban transformation, and ensuring environmental protection alongside growth.
3) Inclusiveness will require a focus on scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, and minorities, as well as improving access to education, health, water and sanitation for all.
Outreach frontiers of microfinance service development in rural ethiopia a ca...Alexander Decker
This document discusses microfinance services in rural Ethiopia, specifically in the Shinile district of the Somali region. It finds that microfinance development has been constrained by several factors. Pastoralist socioeconomic factors, failure of outreach policies by financial institutions, and reluctance of state functionaries have hindered microfinance growth in the region. For microfinance to develop sustainably, policies must consider these contextual factors specific to the Somali region.
This document discusses economic growth and development in the Philippines. It defines economic growth as the increase in goods and services over time, typically measured by GDP growth rate. Economic development looks more broadly at factors like income, education, health, and living standards. The Philippines has experienced strong GDP growth of 7.3% in recent years. The Philippine Development Plan for 2011-2016 aims to pursue inclusive growth through high employment, poverty reduction, and good governance. Key strategies include boosting competitiveness, accelerating infrastructure, developing financial sectors, and investing in social development, peace, and environmental protection.

The developmental state: the nature of statal policy and institutional reformCosty Costantinos
1. The document discusses the concept of developmental states and their applicability in Africa. It analyzes the experiences of developmental states in Asia and their differences compared to African states.
2. It examines Ethiopia's potential to establish a developmental state through policy and institutional reforms. Key recommendations include enhancing the state's role in economic transformation through disciplined planning, building democratic developmental states, and ensuring state interventions avoid rent-seeking.
3. The author argues that for Ethiopia to nurture a developmental state, it needs political will and capacity for policies derived through consultation, a competent bureaucracy based on merit, and a developmentalist coalition between leadership, private sector, and civil society.
Mukesh Gulati presentation for the 20th TCI Global ConferenceTCI Network
Clusters of small and medium enterprises are an important part of India's industrial landscape. They account for around 70% of manufacturing output and are characterized by geographic aggregation and inter-linkages. Integrating cluster policy into India's broader industrial policy can help foster more inclusive and sustainable growth. This involves developing a cluster-based approach for infrastructure investment, harnessing existing social networks within clusters, capturing economic and environmental data at the cluster level, reforming financial systems to better support clusters, and improving cross-ministerial coordination of national initiatives within clusters. Taking a cluster-centric view can provide alternative models for decent employment generation and clean production while respecting local social contexts.

This document summarizes a research study on the impact of microfinance on living standards, empowerment, and poverty alleviation among poor people in Ethiopia, using clients of Amhara Credit and Savings Institution (ACSI) as a case study. The study used questionnaires distributed to 150 ACSI clients in Debratabor and Estie branches to assess changes in factors like income, education, nutrition, and savings before and after using microfinance services. The results showed microfinance led to increased income, children being sent to school, ability to pay medical bills and feed families, and savings to cope with future crises. Overall, microfinance seemed to improve living standards and empower clients economically and socially.
This document discusses Ethiopia's economic development and challenges. It notes that Ethiopia faces its worst drought in 50 years, putting over 10 million people at risk of famine and threatening its recent economic gains. However, it also discusses Ethiopia's achievements, including strong economic growth over the past decade, cutting poverty levels, and progress on development goals. The document argues that Ethiopia needs continued international support to consolidate its successes and transition its economy from agriculture to manufacturing and industry. It highlights Ethiopia's case to investors for trade and investment at the World Economic Forum, with the potential to achieve further progress and development.
1) The document defines globalization as the removal of barriers to free trade and capital mobility as well as the diffusion of knowledge globally.
2) It discusses India's pre-liberalization era of licensing restrictions and public sector dominance as well as the economic reforms beginning in 1991 that liberalized and privatized the economy.
3) The reforms aimed to make India's economy more efficient and globally competitive through deregulation, privatization, and opening the

Melia-Oct.2015 Politcal Economy of Extractive Resources, GIZElvis Melia
This document provides a political economy framework for understanding the resource curse phenomenon often seen in resource-rich developing countries. It introduces three approaches: (1) the dynamics within a country's elite political circles as they negotiate sharing of resource rents; (2) the dynamics among political elites, state technocrats tasked with industrial policy, and domestic firms; and (3) the dynamics between top national elites and provincial politicians in extraction areas. Several case studies illustrate these dynamics, showing how natural resource wealth can undermine industrial development, strengthen patronage systems, and increase regional tensions. The document aims to explain challenges that may arise in implementing technical cooperation guidelines to promote sustainable development in resource-rich partner countries.

Ethiopia’s ‘Development and Governance Model’
Ethiopia officially rejected the Washington Consensus and
embraced the Democratic Developmentalism model (DD), which
is a reconfigured version of the East Asian developmental state
model
The DD involves both economic transformation (through
economic policies) and the transformation of non-economic
institutions.
The role of the state in the Developmentalism argument:
The state is actively involved in combating rent-seeking
and creating value addition
The state and the market complement one another and
provide an excellent joint outcome.

Agricultural Development Led Industrialization (ADLI):
Definition and Context (1)
ADLI is a development strategy which aims to achieve initial
industrialization by transforming agriculture first:
Robust agricultural growth
Productivity breakthrough by small farmers
Improved linkages with industrial sector
ADLI’s Vision and Conception
Smallholder farmers can create wealth (but, of course, large-
scale commercial farming has been added to the ADLI policy
menu later)
Achieve economic growth and initial industrialization by
transforming agriculture first through the use of labor-
intensive and land-augmenting technologies and the
development of agricultural markets
8. 8
Agricultural Development Led Industrialization (ADLI):
Definition and Context (2)
ADLI’s initial industrialization hypothesis (by focusing on
agriculture as the engine of growth) involves:
Transformation from subsistence to market activities (or
surplus)
Productivity breakthrough by small farmers
Raise capital (through savings, taxation, export earnings,
etc.) for industrial investment
Sustained food supply to enhance sustained industrial
growth (or to avoid the Ricardian trap)
9. 9
ADLI Definition and Context: Shaping Resource Allocation
and Public Expenditure Priorities
Commit more resources and attention to agriculture (especially,
smallholder farmers)
Evidence: Ethiopia devotes about 17 to 18% of its budget to
agriculture, which is well above the 10% commitment agreed by
African countries via CAADP
This massive resource is spent on agricultural and rural programs
Extension programs
Agricultural technology
Rural financing (micro-financing)
Productive safety Nets (asset-building)
ADLI guides national resource allocation and shapes public
expenditure priorities

The Choice of ADLI as a Development Strategy is Explained
by Structural Characteristics of the Economy and
Government’s Socio-Economic Objectives
The choice of ADLI (or any development strategy) depends primarily on
1. The structural characteristics of the economy
2. Governments’ social objectives
Structural
characteristics of the
economy
Agrarian (agriculture is the largest employer and source of livelihood)
Abundant labor and land, but scarce capital
Overwhelmingly rural households
Governments’ social
objectives
Poverty reduction (pro-poor strategy): What effective pro-poor strategy? Greater
impact on poverty reduction by focusing on agriculture, which is the largest employer
Economic justice (inclusive growth strategy): High coverage by agricultural growth
Given these, What Development Strategy?

STRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATION: POLICY TRANSITION
FROM ADLI TO INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
21. 21
Theories and Patterns of Structural Transformation (1)
Petty-Clark Law, Lewis Theory of Development and
Chenery’s Patterns of Development
The center of gravity in economic activities shifts from the
primary to secondary sector, and further to the tertiary
sector as income continues to rise.
Put differently, Agriculture cedes its place to manufacturing;
and manufacturing cedes its place to services.
Intersectoral migration (e.g., agricultural labor becomes
factory worker)
Change in consumer demands
Demographic transition
22. 22
Theories and Patterns of Structural Transformation (2)
1. Market-led Inter-
sectoral Resource
Allocation
Structural change through market-led changes and resource reallocations
Economic growth/rising level of income
Changes in the composition of internal demand (greater demand for non-
agricultural goods)
Rising level of Skills and Competencies
International Shifts in comparative advantage
This is relatively a slow structural change process
2. Correct-policy-mix
Even if the comparative advantage theory tells countries to focus on their factor
endowments, some countries
Push the limits of their static comparative advantage and diversify into new activities
Don’t rely only on factor endowments (or static comparative advantages)
Discover new economic activities and create new comparative advantage
Learn that comparative advantage can be created (i.e., the dynamic comparative
advantage theory)
This is a policy response to expedite structural transformation
What drives structural transformation?
23. 23
Structural Transformation: East Asian Experience
East Asia’s Dynamic Growth Experience
Pushed the limits of their static comparative advantage and were able to quickly
diversify into more sophisticated activities (i.e., breaking a conventional
development thinking)
For example, Joseph Stieglitz wrote: “The theory of comparative advantage told
South Korea, as it emerged from the Korean War, that it should specialize in rice.
But Korea believed that even if it were successful in increasing the productivity of
its rice farmers, it would never become a middle or higher income country if it
followed its static comparative advantage. It had to change its comparative
advantage, by acquiring technology and skills . It had to focus not on its
comparative today, but on its dynamic comparative advantage.”
During their early stage of industrialization, their factor endowments were similar to
Ethiopia’s – abundant in labor and scarce in human and capital endowment.
Were bold enough and embarked on light and heavy manufacturing at their very
early stage of development
Question: how did they solve their savings gap and capital constraint?
24. 24
Structural Transformation: East Asian Experience
Because of the dominance of the agricultural sector in poor countries, capital
required to finance industrial expansion (at least in the early stages of
development) would have to be largely raised from agriculture by taxation,
voluntary transfer (savings), or even by forced savings.
For example, agriculture provided resources for industrialization through taxation
and foreign exchange earnings in countries below
Silk and tea exports (Japan 19th c)
Rice and sugar (Taiwan up to 1960s)
Rice export (Thailand up to 1980s)
Fish and shrimp (south east Asia)
Grapes and salmon (Chile)
How about Ethiopia’s experience?
Low agricultural saving (lack of innovative financial institutions in rural
areas)??
Agriculture is largely untaxed??
No belt-tightening (or forced saving) policies??
What is the role of agriculture in early development?

STRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATION: POLICY TRANSITION
FROM ADLI TO INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
26. 26
Making the Industrial Sector a leading Sector: From ADLI to
Industrial Development Led Growth
In terms of structural change, Ethiopia fared little – i.e., the share
of the industrial sector has remained stagnant at about 13%,
which is low even compared to the SSA, which is about 25%
However, initial conditions for structural transformation have
been created
Since Ethiopia did very well in terms of economic growth (a double
digit growth for the last 10 years)
People’s income has grown , which means people would demand
more non-agricultural goods (i.e., Engle’s Law)
So, income growth means – high demand for industrial goods
27. 27
Making the Industrial Sector a leading Sector: From ADLI to
Industrial Development Led Growth
So, what is the rationale for a policy transition from ADLI to
Industrial development led growth? What are the economic
and social opportunities?
Sustained economic growth (per capita income growth) – market for
industrial goods is created
Sufficient infrastructure has been laid out for industrialization to take-off
Capital (e.g., saving and FDI) and skill accumulation has reasonably grown
(e.g., saving rate is 17.7%)
Education policy twinning (70% to join science and technology )
Industrialization drive – industry as a sustainable source of prosperity and
employment
Enhanced foreign-technology learning – From China, Japan, German, USA
Mind-set change (can-do thinking, improvements in working culture, time
management, etc.)
28. 28
Making the Industrial Sector a leading Sector: From ADLI to
Industrial Development Led Growth
Additional Opportunities for Industrial Development
Cheap labor (much lower than the sub-Saharan average)
Young population
Publicly-owned land (readily available for investment and infrastructure
development)
Large domestic market size

much faster growth. Why?
Expected outcome: Enhanced industrial growth
a) The growing industrial sector and urban
population will create a huge demand for
agricultural products (i.e., demand for food and
inputs)
b) Better adoption of agricultural technology - as
many rural labour become factory worker (as a
result of industrial growth), those who remain
farming will have larger agricultural land. And
owning large agricultural land would lead to
better technology and modern variety adoption
because of scale economies.
Despite diminished public resources (because some
of the resources are going to be allocated to the
industrial sector), the agricultural sector is also
expected to grow . Why?
Because, the industrial sector is expected to
a) benefit from increased public resources
b) Benefit from the internal and external
demands created
c) benefit from the economic and social
opportunities created (see previous slide)
Expected outcome: continued agricultural modernization
and growth
Question: If the industrial sector starts to enjoy high policy support and public resources
in an attempt to make the industrial sector an engine of growth, then what happens to
agriculture, industry and the overall economy?
Overall economy growth and transformation (ceteris paribus)

Putting the transition to Industrial Development-Led
Growth into Context
Note that it does not mean that the industrial sector has taken the
lead in terms of contribution to GDP
It is rather a policy metamorphosis to make more resources
available to the industrial sector to stir industrialization
Or it is a transition from the static comparative advantage to the
dynamic comparative advantage thinking
Dynamic comparative advantage means that a country can create
new comparative advantages through smart industrial policy
Discovery process
Nurture new economic activities (economic diversification)
A country’s policy choice matter more than endowments.

Some Policy Issues for Discussion and Sensitization
Expand the current industrial policy (IP) in terms of scope. Instead of focusing on a
few priority areas, try to discover or create new comparative advantages
Both export promotion and import substitution strategies – but export promotion
should be the pillar policy for import substitution does not enjoy economies of scale.
Only a few strategic industries need to be substituted
Enhance the role of private sector in industrial development
Industrial sector - Industrial Policy
Defining Sectoral Roles and Priority Areas
Less massive but innovative support for smallholders – food self-sufficiency versus
surplus production??
Tapping the huge commercial farming opportunities Ethiopia has
Public support should aim for narrower but higher-impact agricultural projects
Encourage private sector investment in agriculture (e.g., seed development, fertilizer
production and distribution, rural finance)
