the marginal product of capital, or decreasing the depreciation rate will increase the growth rate of output; these 4 See also

model.
Economic growth
Signicance
The main criticism of the model is the level of assumption, one being that there is no reason for growth to be
sucient to maintain full employment; this is based on
the belief that the relative price of labour and capital is
xed, and that they are used in equal proportions. The
model explains economic boom and bust by the assumption that investors are only inuenced by output (known
as the accelerator principle); this is now believed to be
correct.
In terms of development, critics claim that the model sees
economic growth and development as the same; in reality,
economic growth is only a subset of development. Another criticism is that the model implies poor countries
should borrow to nance investment in capital to trigger
economic growth; however, history has shown that this
often causes repayment problems later.
The endogeneity of savings: Perhaps the most important
parameter in the HarrodDomar model is the rate of savings. Can it be treated as a parameter that can be manipulated easily by policy? That depends on how much
control the policy maker has over the economy. In fact,
there are several reasons to believe that the rate of savings
may itself be inuenced by the overall level of per capita
