Achieving sovereign nation status, however, is not a panacea for small states. It has worked for some. Luxemburg is often listed as the 46 SINGAPORE’S SUCCESS: ENGINEERING ECONOMIC GROWTH country with the world’s highest per capita income. It has been able to create a niche, in part owing to financial market specialization that built on regulatory and tax advantages, and as a seat of European institutions. But other small independent island-nations are not development successes. The Caribbean island countries of Dominica and Saint Lucia are similar in size to Singapore but have experienced much lower economic growth and income levels, underscoring the importance to Singapore of favorable factors other than size.
It differs from the commonly used concept of (labor) productivity, which is defined as output per hour worked—only one factor of production—and therefore captures the contribution of additional physical capital formation under higher (labor) productivity. Equally, TFP differs from the Incremental Capital Output Ratio analysis (ICOR), which is approximated by dividing the investment-to-GDP ratio by the GDP growth rate. A lower ICOR, equivalent to increased productivity of capital, would therefore capture the impact of a growing labor force, which TFP does not.
Sovereignty Is being a city and a sovereign nation an inherent advantage? As a sovereign city-state, Singapore could design its own policies in a flexible manner as circumstances required.

Unlike other cities, Singapore had control of immigration from its hinterland, both in terms of quantity and quality of workers.
