Chapter 30: Growth and the Less-Developed Countries

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The steps to achieve the learning objectives include reading sections from your textbook and the
causation chain game, which is available directly on the Tucker web site. The steps also include
references to Ask the Instructor Video Clips, the Graphing Workshop available through
CourseMate on the Tucker website.
#1 - Compare characteristics of industrially advanced countries (IACs) to characteristics of less
developed countries (LDCs).
Step 1

Read the section in your textbook titled Comparing Developed and Less-Developed
Countries.

Step 2

Read the Graphing Workshop Grasp It! exercise titled Production Possibilities.
This exercise uses a slider bar to demonstrate economic growth based on the impact of
technological change on the production possibilities curve for computers and cars.

Step 3

Create a new graph at the Graphing Workshop Try It! exercise titled Production
Possibilities. This exercise illustrates an outward shift in the production possibilities
curve.

Step 4

Play the Causation Chains Game titled Economic Growth.

Step 5

Listen to the Ask the Instructor Video Clip titled How Important Is the Rate of
Economic Growth to You? You will learn how much the rate of growth means to the
standard of living.

Step 6

Listen to the Ask the Instructor Video Clip titled Why Are Some Nations Rich, But
Others Are Poor? You will learn the basic factors that determine which nations are rich
and which are poor.

The Result

Following these steps, you have learned industrially advanced countries (IACs) are
countries in which GDP per capita is high and output is produced by technologically
advanced capital. Less-developed countries (LDCs) are countries with low production per
person. In these countries, output is produced without large amounts of technologically
advanced capital and well-educated labor.

#2 - Understand the role of private investment, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and World
Bank in aiding poor countries.
Step

Read the section in your textbook titled The Helping Hand of Advanced Countries.

The Result

Following these steps, you have learned the role of private investment, the IMF, and
World Bank in helping less-developed countries.
