Sectoral Distribution of Capital Formation and Output Growth: The Cases of China and India
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper provides a two-sector perspective for analyzing the effects of sectoral investment pattern on output growth. The two sectors are transformation and transaction. China and India are used as the empirical cases. We find that the rate differentials in real GDP growth between China and India tend to be positively correlated with the relative share of total investment that take place in the transformation sector, due to the effects of returns to scale and externalities. While emphasising the importance of sectoral distribution of capital formation at an early developmental stage, the study also highlights the role of the transaction sector in a longer term.

The present study is to indicate that the comparison between sectoral production multipliers of an input-output (I/O) model and a social accounting matrix (SAM) framework is almost impossible without taking into account accounting balances and theoretical considerations. Theoretically, the I/O model provides the Leontief’s production function, on the basis of which sectoral output multiplier ca...
