Part 1
How is knowledge different from physical capital?
From the case study, it’s clear that there is a huge difference between knowledge and physical capital. First, knowledge comes in different forms. It can be acquired or natural. One common example of this is technological knowledge, which keeps evolving from one level to another. It is first acquired from the source and transferred from one individual to the other, also referred to as a “leak” (Easterly, 2001, pg. 146).
On the other hand, physical capital refers to assets that are tangible. They are assigned money value, by which they are identified. They include buildings, machinery, vehicles, land, and other tangible assets owned by an organization. In essence, both knowledge capital and physical capital can be identified as valued inputs in a company. The two, however, have distinct differences in that knowledge capital can be transferred from one individual to another.
It has no permanent ownership and it can be replaced or upgraded by employing another individual who has more knowledge than the one in the current position (pg. 156). Knowledge is valued according to the output and performance of the individual who has a certain skill. Machines and other physical capital are subjected to the law of diminishing returns while knowledge or human capital expands as the individual equips themselves with more skills and information (pg. 151).
What are the special characteristics of knowledge that make it so useful for growth?
Knowledge has characteristics such as elasticity, meaning that it can grow and expand from a lower level to a higher level. It also has the capability of being transferred from one individual or organization to another. These characteristics make it an important factor that propels the growth of a company. For instance, the case study of Daewoo and Desh narrates a scenario where Desh acquired knowledge of Daewoo’s knowledge of production methods that could elevate their production under local conditions. The workers at Desh gained better skills and knowledge from Noorul Quader and Daewoo which enabled them to make good quality shirts. They also learned about bonded warehouses and the exportation of the shirts to other countries (pg. 152). Leaking the knowledge enabled Desh to expand its market and adopt better production methods. To prove further that knowledge leads to growth, Desh workers left the company to start their own t-shirt making companies, using the knowledge they acquired from the training. Knowledge is also valuable because it is not limited to a particular number of people. It can be spread to anyone who wants to use it. Moreover, new knowledge has the ability to complement old ones, creating a compounding element. This means that knowledge has no level cap or the ability to depreciate over time. Overall, having knowledge increases returns.
How can knowledge help a country grow?
Knowledge can boost a country’s growth due to the presence of skilled workers. People who are knowledgeable have the ability to use their skills and knowledge to create companies and other investment channels. In return, they generate revenue that enables them to have high-quality livelihoods and upgrade their lifestyles. The availability of skilled labor leads to concentrated populations which results in more business opportunities elevating economic growth and per capita income.
Describe what the chapter means by “traps” by the author. Why “traps” do occur in the economy?
According to the author, economic traps occur as a result of differences in incomes earned by different countries. An economy whose workers are highly skilled will offer higher average wages and salaries than in countries that have many unskilled workers. The difference in these countries is more inclined towards the workers’ incomes than their individual skills. The productivity of workers in rich countries is higher because skilled workers boost each other’s abilities. In poor countries, workers who are unskilled tend to lower the productivity of one another. The trap is further explained as the need for highly skilled workers to leave their poor countries and move to richer countries where their income will be way higher (pg. 161).
Traps occur as a result of varying economic opportunities between poor and rich countries. The main cause may be vicious cycles of education or knowledge deprivation for certain groups of individuals. The minority groups may have a history of occurrences that render them unable to compete with others who have enjoyed opportunities such as education from the beginning of time. This is especially common between minority groups such as Blacks and Hispanics in the United States of America. Capital accumulation and knowledge acquisition between these minorities and white people still have a huge difference seeing that blacks earn average incomes that’s 41% lower than their white counterparts (pg. 162). There are different types of traps, among them poverty and ethnic groups traps.
What are some government policies that could be used to alleviate the effects of “traps”?
To ease the effects of these traps, the government can offer a platform that enables individuals to gather knowledge at subsidized rates. It can implement policies that incentivize the incomes of individuals who are unskilled as well as raising the salaries and wages of skilled individuals in poor countries. This will give them the morale to spread their knowledge and services to others while enjoying the same lifestyles they’d have gained if they had moved to more developed countries.
Part II
Evaluate the following claim: “Savings is not enough for the investment needs of developing countries. As such, if aid agencies and rich countries provide aid to developing countries it will increase their rate of investment and generate economic growth.” Give some examples of these policies. Has such a policy worked, why or why not?
Policies such as offering aid to poor countries have been high on the list of policymakers from developed countries. It is believed that developed countries need more than their savings alone to facilitate investments. An example of these policies is the financial aid given to Ghana in 1982. This was to facilitate the building of the Volta dam and invest in it as a source of electricity. This would further facilitate other investments, among them an aluminum smelter that was bound to generate more income for the country. Nkurumah had envisioned the building of railway s and other plants that would boost the country’s economy while sourcing raw materials such as aluminum in the previously constructed aluminum smelter.
Over the years, these policies have either been unsuccessful or are no longer considered to be effective. This is surrounded by different factors. Among them is the fact that most developing countries are not well prepared or equipped with strong investment plans. Kwame Nkrumah’s plan of investing in Volta dam proved futile after negative outcomes were recorded from the plan. It did not work as intended, leaving the country in a bad financial situation as all the investments were channeled in a field that did not yield the expected returns. The policies based on offering foreign aid as an investment booster in developing economies may not always work as it creates dependency in some countries, especially when the intended investments don’t yield positive returns. Instead of relying on these policies, the needy countries should first improve on technology, education system, healthcare, and other sectors. This will uphold economic stability as the country embarks on investing the money gained from foreign aid.
What conclusions would we draw about the impact of foreign aid on economic growth and development if we were to use the Solow model to analyze this question?
The Solow model highlights the impacts of foreign aid on a country’s development and economic growth by showing how capital diminishes as a result of the country’s over-dependence on foreign aid. It also points out the importance of labor in production and how investment in capital influences a country’s savings. These factors are key determinants of the developments bound to occur within economies that rely on foreign aid.
In the Solow model, foreign aids cause a movement along the (sf(k) curve labeled as the investment curve. However, if the law of diminishing returns is not observed, the curve will only proceed in that direction without considering factors such as savings, raw materials, and labor. This leads to stagnated growth or worse, none at all.

How does your answer in Part II, 2. change if knowledge is a part of factors of production? Specifically, how does your aggregate production change, and its implication of foreign aids?
If knowledge is considered a factor of production, the development and economic growth of a country will continue to rise. Knowledge does not conform to the law of diminishing returns and may not be affected if the depreciation rate is not accounted for. Therefore, the investment rate and growth will continue to move up the curve as foreign aid is increased.
