history

19.  As we study economic development in year 4 IB Economics, we examine different
models for economic growth.
 Growth in GDP is not the only determinant of economic development, which in order
to be measured effectively must account for human welfare determinants such as life
expectancy, literacy rates, child mortality rates, distribution of income, and so on.
 However, it has been shown throughout history that economic growth, or the
increase in real output and income, correlates directly with improvements in
development factors like those above..
 higher incomes mean more savings, which means greater access to capital for
investment by entrepreneurs.
 More investment leads to greater productivity and rising incomes for those who join
the emerging industrial and service sectors that usually accompany economic growth.
 Furthermore, rising incomes mean more tax revenue for governments, who‟s
spending on public goods like education, health care, and infrastructure result in real
improvements in standard of living for not just the emerging upper and middle
classes, but the poor as well.
