Question 1
0.5 / 0.5 pts
If productivity growth stays the same over the next 20 years, hours per worker stays the same,
and workers per person falls, what will happen to growth in the future?
Correct!
It will be lower.
It will be higher.
It will stay the same.
It will be negative.
Question 2
0.5 / 0.5 pts
Why did productivity growth fall significantly from 1972 to 1996 but gdp per capita growth only
fell slightly?
productivity growth was underestimated.
Correct!
hours per person grew during this period.
workers per person fell.
Question 3
0.5 / 0.5 pts
What did Gordon predict would happen to income growth until 2077, compared to the trend from
1891?
He expected growth would fall significantly, leaving GDP per capita much higher than
expected.
He expected growth would rise significantly, leaving real GDP per capita far higher than
expected.
Correct!
He expected growth would fall significantly, leaving real GDP per capita far lower.
He expected growth would rise significantly, leaving GDP per capita far lower than expected.
Question 4
0 / 0.5 pts
If we are overestimating hours worked due to people not doing work while they are technically at
work, what would this suggest about productivity growth?
You Answered
Productivity has been growing slower than we thought because we overestimated hours
worked.
Correct Answer
Productivity has been growing faster than we thought but it doesn't show in the official statistic
because we overestimate hours worked.
The two are not related.

For the following questions, you will need the following formula: let Xo be the initial value, X, be the
value after t periods and g be the growth rate by period, then
Xt = X₁ (1 + g)t.
You may also need the log properties: log(a³) = blog(a) and log(ab) = log(a) + log(b). The
properties imply:
log(X) = log(X₁) + tlog(1+g).

Assume that a country, in year 5, has a population level, P, of 14 380 individuals. The country's population has
been growing at a constant yearly rate of 2.4%.
a) Find the country's initial population size, assuming that we are dealing with discrete time. Then, determine
the initial population size assuming continuous time. (You must show all your work!) Are the two initial
population sizes similar? Why or why not?
b) Now, assume that g is actually 5% and that the initial population level was, in fact, 10,000. Using the Rule
of 70, graph the population growth on a ratio scale for the time periods, t = 0, 7, 14, and 28. Label your graph.

onsider an imaginary economy that has been growing at a rate of 3% per year. Government economists have proposed a number of policies to increase the growth rate but first need to convince the president that the policies will pay off. To do so, they want to present a comparison of the number of years it will take for the economy to double, depending on the growth rate.
Using the rule of 70, determine the number of years it will take the economy to double at each growth rate.
