El otro día releyendo un debate que tuvimos vía mail con Elemaco y la gente amiga de Homoeconomicus y algunos más, encontré una lista de "requisitos" necesarios para impulsar el crecimiento de medio/largo plazo que había sacado de un libro un tanto viejo que compiló este tipo.
La citada lista, surgía según se explica allí, de una serie de trabajos realizados para entender las dinámicas de crecimiento de los más diversos países. En su momento, cuando entró la lista en debate, las posturas comenzaron a clarificarse. A continuación, les paso entonces, las fuentes del crecimiento económico según el libro "World Economic Growth" de Arnold Harberger*:
1. Increase in the active labor force.
2. Improvement in the quality of the labor force through education, experience and on-the-job training.
3. Shifting labor force from lower-productivity to higher-productivity jobs.
4. Increase in capital stock through increased private-sector or public-sector savings.
5. Improvement in the quality of components of capital stock through improved design and technichal innovation.
6. Shifiting capital from lower-productivity to higher productivity activities.
7. Improvements in efficiency through the expansion of activities subject to economies of scale.
8. Improvements in efficiency through finding cheaper and better ways of producing existing products.
9. Improvements in efficiency through improvement of existing products and the development of new ones.
10. Improvements in efficiency through the reduction of distorting elements such as (1) taxes that give differential treatment to the use of resources in some activities vis-á-vis others (2) quotas and licensing schemes that prevent resources from flowing into certain activities, even through those resources would be highly productive there, (3) monopoly elements and other private restraint the impede the efficient allocation of resources within the economy.
La trivia del día sería: ¿Qué observaciones, if any, tienen a esta lista?
Saludos,

* Ok, la lista esta en inglés. Creo que se entiende y no estoy con ganas de traducir. Si alguien los hace, bienvenido sea.
