Match List-I with List-II:

List-I
(Concepts)
List-II
(their expression)
(where, gm=manufacturing output growth, gGDP=GDP growth, Pnm=productivity in outside manufacturing,
Pm=Productivity in manufacturing) 
A. Kaldor's first law of growthI. Pnm = f(gm),   f' > 0
B. Kaldor's second law of growthII. ȳ = ε · (u − u*)
C. Kaldor's third law of growthIII. gGDP = f(gm),   f' > 0
D. Okun's lawIV. Pm = f(gm),   f' > 0

Choose the correct  answer from the options given below :

The correct answer is
A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

To solve the given problem, we need to match each concept in List-I with the correct expression in List-II according to economic theories. Let's review the concepts:

  1. Kaldor's First Law of Growth: This law states that there is a positive relationship between the growth of GDP and the growth of the manufacturing sector. Thus, the expression for Kaldor’s First Law is \(g_{GDP} = f(g_m),\ f' > 0\).
  2. Kaldor's Second Law of Growth: Also known as the "Growth of Labour Productivity," it suggests that productivity outside the manufacturing sector grows positively with manufacturing output. Hence, the expression is \(P_{nm} = f(g_m),\ f' > 0\).
  3. Kaldor's Third Law of Growth: This law links the growth rate of productivity in manufacturing with the growth rate of its output, so the corresponding expression is \(P_m = f(g_m),\ f' > 0\).
  4. Okun's Law: It relates the change in unemployment rate to the change in GDP, given by the expression \(\bar{y} = \epsilon \cdot (u - u^*)\), where \(u\) is the actual unemployment rate and \(u^*\) is the natural rate of unemployment.

Now, we can match the given options:

List-I (Concepts)List-II (Expression)
A. Kaldor's first law of growthIII. \(g_{GDP} = f(g_m),\ f' > 0\)
B. Kaldor's second law of growthI. \(P_{nm} = f(g_m),\ f' > 0\)
C. Kaldor's third law of growthIV. \(P_m = f(g_m),\ f' > 0\)
D. Okun's lawII. \(\bar{y} = \epsilon \cdot (u - u^*)\)

Therefore, the correct matching option is: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
