“ The Changing Wealth of Nations: Measuring Sustainable Development in the New Millennium” (World Bank, 2011) Comprehensive wealth accounts for Ten years, 1995-2000-2005 for more than 120 countries Manufactured, Natural, Human & Social capital Natural capital includes: energy & mineral stocks, agricultural land, forests, protected areas Changes in wealth—Adjusted Net Saving, calculated annually
Natural capital is most important in low income countries—more than twice as large as produced capital In middle income countries natural capital and produced capital are roughly equal Intangible wealth dominates in all countries, especially in high income countries
Work led by my co-author, Kirk Hamilton demonstrate the importance of social capital, especially the rule of law Work led by Barbara Fraumeni and Chinese colleagues for China demonstrate that the economic reforms increased the returns to HC far beyond the increase in educational attainment.
The challenge of development is to manage Total volume of assets—how much to save vs. how much to consume Composition of the asset portfolio—how much to invest in different types of capital
Lower middle income countries – roughly from $1000 to $4000 per capita GDP
