Despite being a high saving economy, capital formation may not result in significant increase in output due to
Correct Answer: Option D
The Capital-Output Ratio (COR) indicates the amount of capital required to produce one unit of output.
For example, if 5 units of capital are used to produce 1 unit of cloth, instead of the ideal 2 units, production is inefficient.
A high COR means that despite high savings and capital generation, output may not grow significantly. This can stem from poor technology or management.
This is also represented by the Harrod-Domar Model: G x c = S, where G = Growth, C = Incremental Capital Output Ratio (ICOR), and S = Savings.
Therefore, even with high savings, growth or output may remain low due to a high capital-output ratio.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
