inputs of capital and labor which leads to the steady state equilibrium of the economy.

If there is plenty of labor relative to the capital, a little bit of capital will go a long way. Conversely, if there is a shortage of labor, capital intensive methods are used at the margin and and the incremental capital-output…

already high investment and savings, and this cannot be achieved because of the diminishing marginal return to capital. Also, an even higher investment might even severely lower urban employment growth and widen the rural–urban income gap. Therefore, it is not sustainable for China to maintain its rapid growth by increasing…

Several factors contribute to the weights of technological progress including the following: research and development funding, monopolies that spur innovation, scale of the market, induced innovations, education, human capital, and the accumulation of knowledge. Research and development allocations from the United States government have solidified the argument that support breeds progress. Because funding was allocated to American research movement’s vast strides were made…

the great divergence happened, in particular the Yangzi River Delta in China and the core regions of England. As Pomeranz (2000) put it, these two places were similar in technological levels, functioning Smithian markets, population controls and capital accumulation, and thus none of these factors could have a significant impact on the great divergence. Therefore, he argued that the readily accessibility of coal in England had played a crucial…
