KMF2013
Growth with Inclusion in an Age of Paradox: Same Game, New Players
30 September & 1 October 2013
Concept Paper
The individual pursuit of value creation will, in accounting terms, result in economic growth. National accounting measures are aggregated measures which account for value creation, hence economic growth – but mask issues such as what were the sources of the value creation, and how those values are distributed. Despite attempts at defining alternative aggregate measures of economic performance, aggregate measures such as national product or national income remain the predominant measure of both economic growth and development. The paradox is that economic growth can sometimes be detrimental to development; high but inequitable or unproductive growth does not lead to a sustainable path of economic development.
