Income Distribution, Market Imperfections and Capital Accumulation in a Developing Economy (eBook)
XVIII, 78 Seiten
Springer Singapore (Verlag)
978-981-13-1633-3 (ISBN)
The book explains the problem of insufficient capital accumulation and growth in a less developed country. In conventional analyses, such explanations are often found exogenised in terms of factors such as socio-cultural attitudes towards saving and investment, irrationality of peasant behaviour, technological aspects of externalities and demographic parameters. This book provides an alternative explanation in terms of distribution of income and assets.
Focusing on the agricultural sector of a developing economy, it describes how this approach can be extended to cover the industrial sector as well. Further, it develops a model that is then used to analyse the specific problem of capital accumulation in agriculture.
Professor Asim K. Dasgupta was Minister of Finance (1987-88 to 2010-11) in the Government of West Bengal, India. He received his Ph.D in Economics with a Widrow Wilson Fellowship at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), USA in 1975. He also taught at the College of Business Administration, Boston University (1973-74) and at the Department of Economics, University of Calcutta, India.
