| | Economic growth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Economic growth boosts tax revenues and provides the government with extra money to finance spending projects. | | | As economic growth is measured as the annual percent change of National Income it has all the advantages and drawbacks of that level variable. | | | Economic growth is a key part of most governments macroeconomic policies due to the benefits of it. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Special reports Economic growth |
| | Economic growth is the most fundamental indicator of an economy's health - the rate at which national income is growing. | | | Other measures of economic growth include gross national product (GNP), which measures the total output of a country's citizens regardless of where they are living and working; and per capita GDP, usually measured in dollars, which gives a more easily comparable picture of countries' economic health. | | | However GDP is the preferred measure for growth, as it indicates the amount of economic activity within a nation's borders. |

| | The Size and Functions of Government And Economic Growth |
| | The reduction in the average growth rate of real GDP was 5.2 percentage points for OECD members with the largest expansion in size of government, compared to an average decline of 1.6 percentage points for those with the least increase in size of government. | | | The reduction in GDP growth rates in the United States and in many nations around the world can be traced directly to their increases in government expenditures far in excess of the growth-maximizing level. | | | Exhibit 3A looks at this growth in government expenditures in the United States, and shows that the increase in government expenditures is primarily due to the growth of transfers and subsidies, rather than in the core areas of government. |

| | The End of Economic Growth |
| | Economic growth was higher before 1970, but even at the current rate the Gross World Product will be $131 trillion (1995 dollars) in 2050, when the world population is 10.02 trillion; at that point, per capita Gross World Product will be over $13,000 (1995 dollars), equal to America's per capita Gross Domestic Product of 1960. | | | They correct the conventional economic indexes by subtracting money that we spend to cope with growth, such as the cost of pollution control technologies, and subtracting the money value of environmental costs that we live with, such as noise. | | | -to measure economic well being, now that we have reached the point where we can spend more on health care without increasing average life expectancy, spend more on education without children learning more, and spend more on housing and transportation without making our cities more livable. |

| | Economic Growth, by Paul M. Romer: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty |
| | Suppose that the rate of increase in Japan is 2.6 percent, half a percentage point higher than the recent rate in the United States, and suppose that the rate in North America falls by half a percentage point to 1.6 percent. | | | The Japanese are learning the same lesson we should have learned when members of Congress intervened in the supervision of savings and loans: if the government has important discretionary power over economic affairs, members of the government can all too easily divert that power from its intended public purpose and put it to private use. | | | The challenge facing all of the industrialized countries, including Japan, is therefore to invent new institutions that support a high level of applied, commercially relevant research in the private sector. |

| | After Marx: Structural Change and Steady State |
| | There is, as Neisser expressed it, "a race" betwen technical displacement of labor in some sectors and the rate of absorption of labor in other sectors from capital accumulation. | | | John von Neumann's concern was in the formalization of steady-state growth, but without reference to any Classical constraints that might bring the surplus down and bring the economy to a stationary state without growth. | | | They focus on technological change as the big crucial variable that is constantly leading to increases in the rate of return on capital and thus higher investment. |

| | U.S. economy posts strongest growth in nearly 20 years - Oct. 30, 2003 |
| | Government spending, which contributed mightily to second quarter growth, slowed down as defense spending, which surged 45.8 percent in the second quarter, driven by spending on the war in Iraq, was flat. | | | The burst of GDP growth was led by a 6.6 percent jump in consumer spending, the fastest pace since the third quarter of 1997. | | | Many economists expect the impact of the tax cuts to fade in the fourth quarter, and the cash flow from mortgage refinancings, another boon to third-quarter growth, is expected to diminish as well. |

| | Drawing on data from China during the 1990s, this paper proposes some new tools for assessing the extent to which the aggregate growth process in an economy is pro-poor. | | | With a strong emphasis on historical factors, the paper concludes that certain combinations of variables are very detrimental to government efficiency and economic growth. | | | Looking at the different factors which influence the quality of a government, variables such as size of government, distance from the equator, public sector efficiency, origin of legal system and religion are taken into consideration. |

| | ISRAEL'S ECONOMIC GROWTH |
| | The final factor accounting for Israel’s economic success despite its perilous security situation is the emergence of the country’s formidable and internationally competitive defense industry, which became a crucial engine for export-oriented growth. | | | Following independence, the new state’s economy was structured around three basic elements: high defense costs, mass immigration absorption, and the building of new institutions such as banks, a national insurance institute, and government agencies, all of which necessitated massive infusions of public money into the economy. | | | The decline was attributable to post-1973 defense demands (which may have come at the expense of investment) as well as the rise in energy costs and the global recession. |
