Energy demand in the developing countries: Towards a better understanding

Energy is what both people and economies run on, so the presence of adequate energy supplies is of the utmost importance to a country or other entity. Providing energy is not as cheap as it once was, as countries the world over have painfully found out. Whether the energy source is oil or fuelwood, it is typically the case that gathering new supplies is more difficult and require more resources. ... [Show full abstract] Thus, the people whose duty it is to plan for tomorrow's energy supply need to have information as to the likely nature of tomorrow's energy demand. Having too little energy may hinder economic development or even jeopardize human subsistence; having too much means there was an unnecessary expenditure of scarce resources. This paper discusses energy sources and their interactions with the economy.

The World-Wide Prospects of Non-Conventional Oil and Natural Gas

December 1982 · Studies in Environmental Science

The results of projections carried out by various institutions or groups show unanimously that the global need for energy will increase strongly in absolute terms until the turn of the century and beyond regardless of the decreasing specific need for energy per unit of world social product. The demand increase may figure 50% of the present level in case of a harmonious development of the ... [Show full abstract] international division of labor and the national economies. Larger disturbances will reduce the need, but only in the case of warlike and similar worldwide complications will the demand cease to increase or even decline in the next decades. In the interest of all countries and groups of countries, it is simply vital for developing countries, since an expansion of their energy supply is a prerequisite for their favorable economic development. It is mainly the task of the developed industrial nations to create the conditions for an increased supply of energy. Departing from cautious hypothesis, the percentage of oil in world energy supply will decline from a present 47% to less than one third until the year 2000. Thus, oil will remain the most important source of energy.

Relative Earnings and Manpower Allocation in Developing Economies

March 1969 · Pakistan Development Review

LLOYD G. REYNOLDS

The less developed countries (LDC) present two kinds of challenge to economists. First, they invite us to develop hypotheses about how economic growth begins and about structural changes during the early decades of growth. Second, they provide a fresh terrain on which specialists in particular subject-matter areas can test accepted notions about economic behaviour. For investigations in labour ... [Show full abstract] economics, the structure of earnings provides a convenient starting point. (It is best to say "earnings" rather than "wages" because most workers in the LDC's are self-emplqyed.) Analysis of earnings requires an examination of manpower supplies and requirements. This leads into the economics of agriculture, industry, government, and other labour demanding sectors on one side, and into a study of education and other skill-producing agencies, on the other. Thus by starting with the earnings structure, one is led rather directly into the heart of the economy.

After a year of "improvement and straightening out," the economic situation in the fall of 1989 can roughly be summarized as follows: The superficial cause of the 1988 price hikeâexpansion of real purchasing power as represented by >i>M>sub>o>/sub>>/i> (cash)âhas been brought under initial control.

On the other hand, problems in the economic structure and system have basically remained untouched. These problems at a deeper level are urgently in need of a solution, otherwise further economic development would be difficult. The above two facts show that the work of readjustment of the national economyâimprovement, straightening out, and deepening the reformâhas entered a new stage.

The First Generation of Development Economists

October 2011

Matthias P. Altmann

The vision of the first generation of development economists about the purpose of their young subject was quite promising. They aspired towards an economic sub-discipline that applied new methods and propositions to establish relevant theories about economic development in the then so-called Third World. In their view, both neoclassical and Keynesian economics were inappropriate for analysing the ... [Show full abstract] economic characteristics that set developing countries apart from advanced economies. The price system determined through supply and demand on markets, a central element of neoclassical analysis, was considered less relevant as markets in developing countries were fragmented, imperfect or even non-existent. Moreover, the interest of early development economists was much more in studying structural changes in the economy rather than in analysing the effect of incremental changes in variables on economic decisions and outcomes as common to marginal analysis in the neoclassical tradition.

The Roots of Growth: Entrepreneurship, Innovation and the Capitalist Firm

August 2017

Michael Joffe

The spectacular growth record of capitalist economies in the past 200 years is frequently attributed to entrepreneurship and/or innovation. This cannot be the whole story, because entrepreneurship has a far more widespread historical and geographical distribution than these high-growth countries, and occurs particularly in rather stagnant societies; innovation contributes to economic growth, but ... [Show full abstract] it is unclear why it has become so much more prevalent in capitalist societies, or why it takes a form that is growth-promoting in that context. Thus, entrepreneurship and innovation only contribute to dynamism in a particular institutional context: a real economy that is dominated by capitalist firms, which are able to purchase all their inputs including labour, making it easy to change the technology, workforce, product, location, etc.
