Abstract

Of the many factors and conditions that determine the phenomenon of acceleration of economic development, the author of the article focused exclusively on the investment parameters. It is primarily about the impact on the rate of development of the scale (rate) of accumulation, as well as the qualitative characteristics of investment, defined as the incremental capital intensity. The origins of acceleration and deceleration of growth are revealed on the example of rapidly developing countries (India, Indonesia and China), using a very narrow set of tools. The author concludes that to maintain the high, sometimes increasing growth rates established in these countries in the long run, today requires a qualitative improvement of the production apparatus of all industries on the basis of the most advanced technologies. A similar task, which was once faced by developed countries, proved extremely difficult. This, apparently, to a certain extent explains the stabilization or even weakening of the macroeconomic dynamics of the three countries under consideration after the 2008-2009 crisis.
