2 2 Slide 4 Economic Terminology Income Wealth GDP (Gross Domestic Product) Per capita GDP Why do we use GDP to measure poverty? Slide 5 Economic Terminology Absolute Poverty measured against a designated minimum threshold of material well-being. The incomes of the poor fall below the minimum threshold. Current standard = $1.25/day PPP Relative Poverty - identified by comparing levels of material well-being experienced by different individuals or groups, rather than by comparing the level of well-being to a standard. Slide 6 % of Population in Absolute Poverty

11 11 Slide 31 Economic Growth improves the lives of the poor by making the pie bigger Slide 32 C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Gap minder Desktop.lnk Slide 33 Proposition: A nation s institutions determine its ability to reduce poverty. Institutions: the formal and informal rules of the game that shape incentives and outline expected and acceptable forms of behavior in social interaction. Private Property Rights Rule of law Open, competitive markets Entrepreneurship and innovation
12 12 Slide 34 Property Rights Property Rights benefit the poor by making owned capital secure and productive. Lesson 2: Property Rights and the Rule of Law Slide 35 Formal Legal Characteristics Definable: Enforceable: Transferable: Slide 36 An Important Note The term Property Right is shorthand for Human Rights. The right to freely use and transfer possessions including yourself. People, Not Property. Recognition of people s right of ownership to themselves and their labor.
13 13 Slide 37 Defined but not Enforced A right that is defined but not enforced is useless. Slide 38 Property Rights and Growth Property Right holders have an incentive to preserve their property. Owners consider the future. Owners will improve a property. The value of improvements reside with the owner. Slide 39 Investment Secure property rights make investment more likely. Property Rights allow people to obtain debt. Use of past and future incomes. Collateralization is of greatest benefit to the poor.
14 14 Slide 40 Property Rights and the Poor Property Rights are of the greatest benefit to the poor. The rich can enforce rights over their property. The poor cannot. The definition and enforcement of Property Rights gives the poor the same rights enjoyed by the rich. Secure property rights also contribute to economic growth by enabling the poor to shift effort from protective to productive activities. Slide 41 Enforcing the Rules Rule of Force Anarchy Rule of Men Laws are enforced at the good will of the enforcer. Rule of Law Both the governed and the governing are ruled by the same laws. Slide 42 Big Picture Rights to property promote economic growth by encouraging preservation, improvement and investment in owned resources. In societies without clearly defined property rights the poor are disadvantaged because they lack the resources to enforce their rights. To effectively stimulate economic growth property rights must exist within a society characterized by stable and predictable rules of law.
15 15 Slide 43 The Role of Competition Lesson 3: Competition Opens Markets to the Poor Slide 44 To Compete or Not? The question is not whether we shall have competition, but what forms it will take. - Paul Heyne Competition will always occur. Scarcity We cannot fulfill all our wants at no cost. Slide 45 Non-Market Competition What determines participation? Connections Wealth What determines production? No effective production signals. No effective incentives to innovate.
16 16 Slide 46 Market Competition Suppliers compete with Suppliers. Demanders compete with Demanders All are trying to Maximize Profits Profits draw a crowd Competition creates incentives to increasing revenue and lowering costs. Slide 47 Revenue and Costs Demand curves slope downward for producers, there are three ways to increase profits. 1. Sell more at lower prices. 2. Lower costs 3. Innovate new goods that can command a premium. Slide 48 Prices and Production Prices are determined by the interaction of the Supply and Demand for a good. S S P e D P e P 2 e D Q e An Increase in the Supply of a good increases quantity traded and lowers price Q e Q 2 e
17 17 Slide 49 More Sellers More Supplied at Lower Prices Slide 50 Innovation = Lower Costs = Increased Supply $$$$$ $$$ $ Slide 51
18 18 Slide 52 $$$$$ Graphing calculator Communications $$$ $ Slide 53 Construction Engineering Slide 54 Opportunity The greatest impact on the poor comes from the opportunities that competitive markets provide. Employment Increased output increased labor usage. Entrepreneurship The poor can get in the game not restricted to approved classes.
19 19 Slide 55 Case Study Opening Markets in China million Chinese peasants with incomes below the country s official poverty line of approximately 70 cents (U.S.) per day million Chinese living on less than $1 per day, the commonly used international poverty line. Most of the population were peasants, herded together into communal farms. This system produced very poor economic results with widespread poverty and periodic famines. Slide 56 Economic reforms begin: limited property rights and open markets Communes were broken up and families given individual plots of land and families were allowed to sell some of their output in farm markets. The right to enter the market with their produce drastically changed the incentives facing Chinese farmers. This institutional reform led to a dramatic surge in grain production in China and fueled spectacular poverty reduction. Slide 57 The Big Picture Competition and Markets benefit the poor by Providing more goods at lower prices. Increasing the quality and variety of goods available. Providing opportunities for work. Stimulating entrepreneurial activities. Unleashing the talent and abilities that were always there.
20 20 Slide 58 Conclusions & Caveats Slide 59 Economic Growth Overcomes Poverty Markets create wealth and foster economic growth Slide 60 Institutions of Capitalism Provide the Framework and Incentives for the Creation of Wealth Property Rights Rule of law Competitive markets Entrepreneurship / Innovation
21 21 Slide 61 Ongoing Study... Unequal Income Distribution Income Mobility Individualism of Property Rights Barriers to the Institutions of Capitalism The Mix of Institutions Matters Importance of the Rule of Law Slide 62 Capitalism and Markets Forge interdependence Promote other-regarding behavior Foster a civil society where anonymous cooperation is the norm Benefit the poor in ways that are most important to them, providing Wealth, Dignity, and Mobility Slide 63 New Research & Suggested Reading TED Talk by Yale economist Keith Chen: language and economic behavior Paul Collier: Exodus (migration and development) Tim Harford: Adapt Why Success Always Starts With Failure William Easterly: Tyranny of Experts (failure of foreign aid, lack of respect for rights of the poor) David Dollar and Art Kray: Growth is Still Good for the Poor, August, /Rendered/PDF/WPS6568.pdf%20 AfroBarometer non-partisan, World Bank funded non-profit: After a Decade of Growth in Africa, Little Change in Poverty at the Grassroots, Oct (growth insufficient in absence of other institutions) html Counting and Multidimensional Poverty 2011 Alkire & Foster study for OPHI Oxford Poverty *& Human Development Initiative (the missing dimensions of poverty data)
