Capital-Output Ratio
-how much output you can produce given a

Net national savings ratio Criticism against Lewis Model:
-the more you save in the banks, the higher the
growth of the economy because the savings in

According to Rostow’s approach, to invest
in manufacturing, resources, and labor is
very important .
Theories of dev table*
Rostow’s stages of growth*
Harrod-domar growth models*
Structural-Change Models
-looks at factors of labor and growth
-looks at structure of the development
How different is the patterns-of-development
-developed by Hollis Cheret
model from the Lewis Model?
Lewis two-sector model looks at:
-Agricultural Sector and Manufacturing Sector
-divided the economy into two
-surplus of labor in the sector of agricultural and
not much in the manufacturing sector
-still growth-oriented
-structural change models gives primary
importance to growth
-change the structural change of the society
-capitalists invest in their profits
Patterns of Development:
-similar to Lewis’ theory
-talks about steady accumulation of physical
capital (like of harrod-domar theory)
-changes in consumer demands, the more you
offer, the more the economic growth will be
-a lot of service beyond the basic and growth of
cities and urban industries

-claims that the failure of Capital
Fundamentalism and Structural-Change is

-underdevelopment is caused by domestic

DUALISTIC DEVELOPMENT THESIS
Dualistic Theory/Thesis
-looks at inequality
-increasing divergence between nations
-inequality is transitional (sa sugod ra chada)
FREE MARKET AND OPEN ECONOMIES,
AND PRIVATIZATION
● Public Choice Theory- says
that government can’t do
anything right
● Market-friendly approach- can
provide a macro view of the
market
SOCIALISM
Socialism 1:
-Capitalism with a humane face
-government control the market
-regulates the market so that they can be
social-concern
-government established minimum wages
-role of government is to distribute well and
make things more equal
Socialism 2:
-the government must take over so that they
are no private enterprises at all
-communism = planned economies
Socialism 3:
-aim to make our workplace a community rather
than a factory
CHAPTER 5: POVERTY AND INEQUALITY
Poverty and Inequality undermines the 3
objectives of development. To eliminate
poverty, you need to reduce inequality.
Poverty- defined as not having much
Inequality- defined as not having as much as
others
Is lack of effort the root cause of poverty? No,
there are a lot of factors beyond our control. It’s
very rare to get out of poverty when you’re born
into it.
Approaches to measuring poverty
Urban poverty reduction may be accompanied
1. Monetary Approach
by the increase of inequality. We need to
-sets a poverty threshold
address both poverty and inequality.
-defines poverty as lack of income
-most widely used (start: UK)
Poverty Threshold- the minimum level of

country. It is the export and basket of goods.
-poverty lines
Weakness: Is money an adequate measure of
well-being? (Doesn’t completely measure well-
being. Having money isn’t guaranteed to well-
being)
2. Capability Approach
-goes beyond income
-looks at poverty beyond lack of income -pioneered by R. Chambers
-failure to realize capabilities -people themselves participate in decisions on
-defines poverty as failure to achieve certain what it means to be poor and the magnitude of
basic capabilities poverty (internal unlike MA and CA)
-pioneered by Amartya Sen -the approach to measuring poverty
-Well-being is freedom to live lives that are -more internal to places
valued -ask the residents if they are poor or not and
-Emphasis on OUTCOMES why (conducts interview)
-Well-being as the opposite of poverty Weakness: Who gets interviewed/excluded?
-not sustenance, but capabilities (can reinforce structures of power, most likely
-income itself is not enough the rich because they’re confident, poor are
Important thing: it helps you re-assess or timid and have low self-esteem)

you can buy can do to you Comparative Summary
-Compare them with your (1) Own
Characteristics, the (2) Commodity, and the
(3) Environment or Society, if all of this is
created to allow you to do something about the
commodity, to utilize something you bought, it
gives you a capability set.
Weakness: Which set of capabilities are
important to measure? What are these basic
capabilities, who gets to determine which set of
capabilities are included in a set.
Capability Set- set of valuable functionings
that an individual has real access to.
2. Social Exclusion
-all about discrimination
-much relative because it looks at the value of a
society
-multi-dimensional, the process of your
exclusion
-defines poverty as you are poor if you are INEQUALITY- how do you measure
being excluded in a society. inequality?
-started in industrialized countries
-relativity, agency (responsibility), dynamism, 3 types of Inequality:
multidimensionality 1. Income/Economic- about income
Weakness: What is the norm? What if the norm 2. Vital
is not desirable? - measures society by unequal life changes of
human organisms.
3. Participatory Approach
-about vital components in terms of health;
infant mortality, life span expectancy, usually What is the difference between the highest and
about health lowest?

INCOME INEQUALITY GREATER the inequality
Economic Inequality (how to solve?) -an aggregate numerical measure of income
First: take all the income earners in a country, inequality of ranging from 0 (perfect equality to
rank them according to income, 1 as the lowest 1 (perfect inequality)
and 20 as highest
LORENZ CURVE
-a graph depicting the variance of the size
distribution of income fromm perfect equality
(module)
-another common way to analyze personal,
income statistics is the construct what is known
as Lorenz curve
QUINTILE: dividing the entire population of
income earners into 5 groups
>20 income earners, 5 groups, 4 members
each group
>add the income of 4 members to get the
quintile groups
Size distribution of income To measure inequality, you compare income
groups.
DECILE: dividing the entire population of
income earners into 10 groups In a highly equal world: how will the 1st decile
>20 income earners, 10 groups, 2 members and 5th decile gap? Little to no gap, equal
