Is there convergence of poor countries with rich countries, or do the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? How does the picture change when we focus on people rather than countries? Is there an emerging global middle class? ,657 7,174 19,371 52,32 GDP Per Capita, Constant U.S. Dollars, Log Scale 18 Two World Views Neoclassical growth models: poor countries must have higher marginal product of capital. So capital will flow there. Growth rates will be higher in poor countries, and countries will converge. A more pessimistic view: the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.

6 21 22 Important questions for another day Is GDP (or GDP per capita) a sufficient statistic for economic development and opportunity? How do we measure GDP? Why are some countries rich, and some poor? Why are some countries growing rapidly, and others declining? 23 Sources International Monetary Fund. (Semiannual). World Economic Outlook. Malpezzi, S.
