Your book opens with three vignettes: one of Rachmina Abdullah, a young Malaysian woman; another of Getachew, a young Ethiopian man; and one of Viktor and Yulia from Ukraine. •These three contrasting stories reflect the profound economic and social changes under way in developing countries, affecting billions of poor people throughout the world. These examples, are aimed to to help students understand the economic forces underlying the historic changes in the world economy and how economic policies influence the changes for better or worse. Introduction of the concept of globalization and broadly describing its effect on developing countries.Chapter 1 SummaryDevelopment Economics Terms•II. The first step is to introduce terminology distinguishing different stages of development. Some basic terms include developing versus developed countries; less-developed countries (LDCs); low-income, lower-middle-income, upper-middle-income, and high-income countries; industrial or OECD coun tries; transitional (postsocialist) economies; newly industrializing countries; third world; and North versus South.III.Economic Growth & Economic development• Economic development is not synonymous with economic growth. Beyond rising income per capita, development also entails basic structural changes and wide participation of the people of each country.• A key ingredient in what Simon Kuznets called the epoch of modern economic growth is the application of science to achieve increased production.Measuring Diversities of Developing Economies•The label developing country covers a diverse group of economies spanning a wide continuum of conditions. Income per capita remains the most useful single indicator of development, although it is far from ideal. •One limitation is that international comparisons require the conversion of national statistics into common currency units, usually U.S. dollars.• A more accurate method uses purchasing power parity (PPP) calculations. This method shows that income differences between rich and poor countries are less acute than one finds in statistics based on exchange rates. •Other than income, an alternative comparison method is to use physical measures of structural change. Examples in the text include energy consumption, rural population, life expectancy, and female adult literacy.V. Different Historical Experiences •Different historical experiences imply different trajectories for Asia, Latin America, and Africa. •Countries with the greatest potential
