2.2.3 Growth Theories Under the growth theories some theories of growth and growth models will be reviewed; i) The Harrod-Domar Growth Model In economic literature, this model is called capital only model. Harrod and Domar (1948) took over from Rostow, because Rostow had some unanswered questions. The model stated that saving is a certain proportion of national income and net investment is defined as the change in capital stock (K). The model further assumes that there is some direct relationship

Balami (2006) In the long run, the rate of growth of (per capita) GDP is determined by population growth and the rate of technical progress. Higher investment can speed up growth temporarily, but as the capital-output ratio rises, an increased proportion of GDP needs to be invested to equip the increasing labour force, and the capital-output ratio converges towards a finite limit, however high a proportion of GDP is invested. Low investment slows down growth, but the capital-output ratio falls towards
The (Possible) Relationship Between Unemployment and Inflation: Implications for Theory and Policy Introduction As with any scientific or empirical body of knowledge, the theories and facts of economics are undergoing constant testing and reevaluation, at times including major shifts in theory that reject old models and develop new understandings of economic interactions. It is arguably the case that in economics and the other "human sciences" such as sociology and political science that such
Economics: The Phillips curve shows the relationship between unemployment and inflation in an economy. Unemployment involves people who are registered as able, available and willing to work at the going wage rate but who cannot find work despite actively searching for work. Unemployment can be counted by using the claimant count which includes all those who are unemployed and actually claiming benefit in the form of Jobseekers Allowance.

This paper focuses on Monetary Policy, which centres on the connections between money, banks, and credit to lenders. In addition, this paper will cover the effect on macroeconomic factors such as GDP, unemployment, inflation, and interest rates.

Money is any object that functions as a means of exchange that society accepts social and legal
The main aim of this chapter is to examine the relationship between two economic fundamentals inflation and unemployment using ordinary least square technique. The model regress the inflation rate against unemployment rate, and money supply over the period 1991-2014. Model specification Model specification The study will use the time series data.
