According to Harrod-Domar model, Warranted Rate of Growth depends on which of the following on given incremental capital output ratio:1. Growth rate of labour force2. Marginal Productivity of investment3. Marginal efficiency of capital4. Saving-income ratio

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Saving-income ratio

The correct answer is Saving-income ratio​.

  • Level of savings:
    • Higher savings enable greater investment in capital stock.

  • The Harrod Domar Model:
    • It is used in development economics to explain an economy's growth rate in terms of the level of saving and of capital.
    • The Harrod Domar Model suggests that the rate of economic growth depends on two things:
      • Level of Savings
      • Capital-Output Ratio
      • In simple form economic growth= \(Level of Savings \over Capital-Output Ratio\)
      • Level of savings:
        • Higher savings enable greater investment in capital stock.
      • The marginal efficiency of capital:
        • This refers to the productivity of investment, e.g. if machines costing $30 million increase output by $10 million.
        • The capital-output ratio is 3.
      • Depreciation:
        • Old capital wearing out.
  • The Harrod Domar Model introduced a concept known as the warranted growth rate.
  • This is the growth rate at which all saving is absorbed into investment. (e.g. $100 of saving = $100 of investment).

  • According to the Harrod–Domar model, there are three sets of growth:
    • Warranted growth 
    • Actual growth 
    • The natural rate of growth
  • The warranted growth rate is the rate of growth at which the economy does not expand indefinitely.
  • Actual growth is the real rate increase in a country's GDP per year.
  • Natural growth is the growth an economy requires to maintain full employment.
