India’s position has remained unchanged at 43 for the third year in a row in the World Competitiveness Ranking by Switzerland-based Institute for Management Development (IMD). 

The annual ranking of 64 countries assesses the extent to which a country promotes the prosperity of its people by measuring economic well-being through hard data and survey responses from executives. 

Among the four indices used, India’s ranking in government efficiency increased to 46 from 50 a year ago, while its ranking in other parameters such as economic performance (37), business efficiency (32) and infrastructure (49) remained the same.

    Q1) The important factors that effect economic growth are education, infrastructure, advancement in technology and various beliefs and norms of citizens of a country. But, the most important factor which i think effects economic growth is the efficiency of human capital in producing and regulating demand and supply of goods in an economy.

    Q2) Government plays an important role in this index as it Provides opportunities to entrepreneurs to develop their idea. It also provides subsidies to weaker sections so that they can also play an active part in the competition. Government also promotes technological incentives and tries to regulate the market by keeping the inflation and deflation in check which also helps in improving the index.

  3. Economists generally agree that economic development and growth are influenced by four factors: human resources, physical capital, natural resources and technology.
    Countries which emphasise on the betterment of these resources are generally the ones that have an upward graph in the economic growth and development of a country.

    Governments play an integral part in the development of a country's economy by laying down rules and regulations which improve the working of these resources.
    For instance, incentives made for improvement of human resources are education and better working conditions which in turn improves the economic growth of the country exponentially.

  7. While abundance of natural resources, capital formation and advancements in technology are huge contributors to the economic growth of a country, I think that the economic system, optimum utilization of (natural and human) resources, and the mindset of the citizens of the country play a much more powerful role in its development.

    The government formulates the rules and regulations which determine the path for the education system of the country, flourishment/fall of trading of goods and services and foreign investment, the policies/subsidies provided to the entrepreneurs for creating a comfortable environment to appreciate and uplift new ideas and innovations, etc.

    3. Education
    It raises people's productivity and creativity and promotes entrepreneurship and technological advances. In addition it plays a very crucial role in securing economic and social progress and improving income distribution.

    THESE FACTORS ARE THE MAIN FACTORS WHICH AFFECT THE ECONOMICAL DEVELOPMENT OF A NATION OTHER THAN THAT Technological development ,infrastructure and mindset of the citizens also play a role.

    Answer 2) Government policies alway impact the economic growth of the country for example When we got independence our economy was based on agriculture then gradually when technical development took place our economy it further starts moving toward industrialization. When our government decided for liberalization then our economy exapanded and so now the companies of india can trade in the different countries of the world where as the other foreign companies can trade in India. This imapcted a lot of technical development, employment, modernization and increase in opportunities to our people.
