Economic Trade & Growth

Economic Growth & Trade

1. What is Economic Growth Outward shift in the Production Possibility

Frontier

2. Sources of Growth Increase in the quantities of resources Technical progress Factor Mobility

Economic Growth & Trade

1. Growth of Factors of Production (more inputs)

a) More labour and capital : Balanced growth

b) More labour or more capital : Unbalanced growth

Causes outward shifts in production frontier

Balanced Growth & Welfare

(a) Income effect : Growth’s effect on per capita consumption

(b) Terms of Trade : Changes in relative output prices

Growth & Trade

• Growth in output of a country’s exportables & importables

• Shifts in Consumption pattern

• National income growth
