Diverse Structures and Common Characteristics Study of Developing Nations

Classification of Economies World Bank classifies 208 economies (population=/> 30,000) based on gross national income per capita, 2000 LIC =/< $755 LMC =$756-$2995 UMC =$2996-$9265 High- income OECD =/>$9226 Other high-income countries Different classification of other-high income countries

Classification of Economies Gross National Income is the total final output of goods and services produced by the economy, plus net factor income from the rest of the world, minus sales taxes Gross domestic product (GDP) + net factor payments = Gross national product (GNP) GNP- sales taxes = Gross national income

Classification of Economies East Asia and the Pacific: Korea, Rep China Indonesia UMC LMC LIC Europe and Central Asia: Czech Republic Lithuania Armenia Latin America and the Caribbean: Brazil Cuba Nicaragua

Classification of Economies Middle East and North Africa: Bahrain Iraq Yemen, Rep UMC LMC LIC South Asia: Sri Lanka India Sub-Saharan Africa: South Africa Namibia Ethiopia

Classification of Economies High Income OECD: Australia Canada USA Japan Denmark France Switzerland UK Other high income countries: The Bahamas Kuwait Hong Kong, China

Structural Diversity of Developing Economies Size (geographical, population) and income of the country Historical and colonial background Physical and HR endowments Ethnic and religious composition Relative importance of public and private sectors Nature of its industrial structure Degree of dependence on external economic and political forces Distribution of power, institutional and political structures

Structural Diversity of Developing Economies: Important observations There is no necessary relation among a country’s size, per capita income, and degree of equality/ inequality Colonialism exposed African and Asian countries to new forms of potential exploitation and have resulted in different institutional and social patterns Except for the Persian Gulf oil states, most developing countries have minimal endowments of raw materials and minerals

Structural Diversity of Developing Economies: Important observations Ethnic and religious conflicts have become frequent post cold war. Indigenous populations continue to be discriminated against in Latin American countries. Malaysia and Mauritius are exceptions Most developing economies have mixed economic systems and the degree of corruption differs widely across countries Majority of developing countries are agrarian and agriculture is a way of life for the people.

Structural Diversity of Developing Economies: Important observations The various interest and power groups among different segments of the populations in a developing country is a result of their economic, social, and political history Case Study of Brazil and Costa Rica

Common Characteristics of Developing Nations: Low levels of living and income inequality Extent of Poverty Health characterized by high IMRs and malnutrition Low levels of education and literacy Low levels of labor productivity High rates of population growth and dependency burdens Substantial dependence on agricultural production and primary product exports Prevalence of Imperfect markets and incomplete information Dominance, dependence, and vulnerability in international relations

Composition of World Exports (percentages of primary and manufactured products)

Markets are imperfect in developing countries due to: Composition of World Exports (percentages of primary and manufactured products) Markets are imperfect in developing countries due to: Economies of scale Thin markets for many products due to limited demand Widespread externalities (good and bad) Prevalence of common property resources Incomplete information Information is costly to obtain
