Productivity
Different sectors have different labor productivity
Labor productivity in both secondary and tertiary sectors is about 4 times as high as that in agriculture sector in 1978 (at 1993 prices)
Sector reallocation
Movement of labor from low labor productivity sector to high labor productivity sector The process of industrialization
Sources of Growth I
The neoclassical growth model (Solow model) Yt = AetKtLt Explanations
Y: output K: capital L: labor t: time : elasticity of capital : elasticity of labor If + = 1, constant return to scale (CobbDouglas production function)

Sources of Growth II
Why are economists interested in estimating this equation? Ln Yt = LnA + t + Ln Kt + Ln Lt Ln Yt+1 = LnA + (t+1) + Ln Kt+1 + Ln Lt+1 Ln Yt+1 - Ln Yt = + (Ln Kt+1 Ln Kt) + (Ln Lt+1 Ln Lt) Ln (Yt+1/Yt) = + (Ln (Kt+1/Kt)) + (Ln (Lt+1/Lt)) Ln (1+Yt/Yt) = + (Ln (1+ Kt/Kt)) + (Ln (1+ Lt/Lt)) Yt/Yt = + (Kt/Kt) + (Lt/Lt)
