Theoretical Aspects of Growth in Developing Countries: External Debt Dynamics and the Role of Human Capital

Author

  • International Monetary Fund

Abstract

This paper formulates a simple aggregate growth model that is capable of assessing the impact of macroeconomic policies on the long-term performance of a developing country. The model emphasizes expenditures on human capital and the dynamics of external debt, and yields empirically testable hypotheses on the relative importance of various determinants of long-term growth performance. The analytical results suggest a number of implications that are relevant to the design of growth-oriented adjustment programs.
