Assume that an economy experiences both positive population growth and technological progress. Once the economy has achieved balanced growth, we know that the capital per effective worker ratio (K/NA) is 1. growing at a rate of δ + gA + gN. 2. growing at a rate of gA + gN. 3. growing at a rate of gN. 4. growing at a rate of gA.

In 12 years, Country Baker's GDP will be approximately ___________ that of Country Able. Group of answer choices one-fourth triple one-half double
Consider the simple innovation model studied in class. In this model, the society allocates a fraction "gamma" of workforce to innovation and the remaining fraction to production. Suppose that, for simplicity, total workforce is normalized to unity: L = 1. If the productivity growth rate is defined by d A t/dt = "theta"* "gamma" * A_t and real GDP per worker by yt = At* (1 - "gamma"), what is the long-run growth rate of y_t?
Which of the following is a true statement? Multiple Choice Economists who support economic growth say that it is the most practical route to the higher standards of living that the vast majority of people desire. Most economists believe that the recent rise in the average rate of productivity growth implies an end to the business cycle. Most economists believe that increases in real GDP actually produce decreases in overall economic well-being because of spillover costs. Mainstream economists disagree as to whether the rate of productivity growth was higher between 1995 and 2012 or between 1973 and 1995.
Country alpha and beta initially have the same real GDP per capita. Country Alpha experiences 3% economic growth, while Country Beta grows at a sustained rate of 9 percent. In 14 years, Country Beta's GDP will be approximately _________ that of Country Alpha
Many countries, including Pakistan, import substantial amounts of goods and services from other countries. However, economists claim that a country can enjoy a high standard of living only if it can produce a large quantity of goods and services itself. Can you reconcile these two facts? (Maximum 100 words). Given the production function Y= AF (L, K, H, N), explain the determinants of productivity. ( Maximum100 words). Population growth has a variety of effects on productivity. Explain this statement and justify your answer. (Maximum 200 words).
As economic growth models become more and more inclusive of realistic conditions and incorporating complexities of the economy, disaggregation on inputs were introduced in capital (having physical and financial components). How does this labor disaggregation compare with that of capital, and its implications with less developed countries like the Philippines (aiming for a more robust economic growth)?
The three pillars of productivity growth does not include anA. increase in the rate at which workforce quality improves.B. increase in the rate at which the economy builds up its stock of capital.C. increase in population.D. increase in the rate at which technology improves.
Exponential growth implies that: Relatively small differences in growth rates translate into substantial differences in the level of a quantity after many years of growth. Growth rates can only be positive. Growth rates will alternate between positive and negative values in every consecutive period. Relatively large differences in growth rates will translate into small differences in the level of a quantity after many years of growth
