By the problem of economic development I mean simply the problem of accounting for the observed pattern, across countries and
across time, in levels and rates of growth of per capita income.
This may seem too narrow a definition, and perhaps it is, but
thinking about income patterns will necessarily involve us in thinking about many other aspects of societies too, so I would suggest
that we withhold judgement on the scope of this definition until
we have a clearer idea of where it leads us.
70% world pop (low + low middle) have 16% of world income.
Norway ($85,000) 500 times as rich as Democratic Republic of
Congo, 150 times as rich as Bangladesh.

Corrections
Underreporting of income (tax evasion, subsistence production)
Distorted pricing may not reflect preferences or relative scarcities (monopolies, oligopolistic competition, public sector companies).
Externalities: pollution, environmental damage, resource depletion, human displacement.
Purchasing power parity and the International Comparison Program

In 2010, the richest state in the United States (not counting DC)
was Alaska and the poorest was Mississippi, and the ratio of per
capita incomes worked out to slightly over 2!
OECD: 20 original members, fourteen additions. All the developed countries, a few middle-income countries also members.
19701990, OECD growth a bit over 2.4%
19902000 1.8%, a bit higher than world average
20002010 Under world average at 0.8%
The United States mirrors OECD reasonably well:
2.2% over 19701990
a bit under 2.2% in 19902000
0.7% in 20002010
Doubling Times
[1 + (r/100)]T = 2.
So T lne [1 + (r/100)] = lne 2.
But lne 2 ' 0.7, and for small x, lne (1 + x) ' x.
A good approximation: 70 divided by the annual % rate of
growth.
Some Examples
UK doubled in 58 years (from 1780, Industrial revolution)
The United States took 47 years (from 1839)
Japan took 34 years (from 1885)
Brazil doubled in 18 years (from 1961)
Korea doubled in 11 years (from 1966)
China is doubling every 79 years (from 1980)

Summary So Far
Over 19802010, the relative distribution of world income more
or less stable.
Richest 10% of nations 4 times the world average
Poorest 10% had 610% of the same average.
But lots of movement within the distribution.
Rise of Asia: Japan, then China and now India
Languishing of sub-Saharan Africa
Relatively slow growth in many parts of Latin America
Summary, contd.
No ultimate traps to development:
60 out of 128 countries went up or down by 1% or more per
year over 19822009, relative to United States.
But stickiness at the ends: mobility matrix.
That history matters this way deserves an explanation:
Convergence vs divergence
