An economy starts off with a GDP per capita of 5,000. How large will the GDP per capita be if it grows at an annual rate of 2 for 20 years? 2 for 40 years? 4 for 40 years? 6 for 40 years?
What policies can the government of a free-market economy implement to stimulate economic growth?
Cross country comparisons of GDP per capita typically use purchasing power parity equivalent exchange rates, which are a measure of the long run equilibrium value of an exchange rate. In fact, we used PPP equivalent exchange rates in this module. Why could using market exchange rates, which sometimes change dramatically in a short period of time, be misleading?
What are the advantages of backwardness for economic growth?
For a high-income economy like the United States, what aggregate production function elements are most important in bringing about growth in GDP per capita? What about a middle-income country such as Brazil? A low-income country such as Niger?
An economy starts off with a GDP per capital of 12,000 euros. How large will the GDP per capita be if it grows at an annual rate of 3 for 10 years? 3 for 30 years? 6 for 30 years?
Refer back to the Work It Out about Comparing the Economies of Two Countries and examine the data for the two countries you chose. How are they similar? How are they different?
Please tell me which is the correct awnser for question 1.1 below there is nothing missing please just tell me which awnser or aawnsers are correct thank you Select one or more: a. If Country C's GDP per capita rises from $2,500 to 7,500, and Country D's GDP per capita rises from $6,000 to 18,000, the ratio of GDP per capita between the two countries is unchanged. b. If a country’s GDP doubles every 50 years on a ratio scale graph against time it will rise at an increasing rate. c. Country B is growing a higher percentage rate than Country A, but Country A is 5 times richer than Country B. On a linear scale graph against time the gap between the two lines must be narrowing. d. Country E is growing at the same percentage rate as Country F, but Country E is 3 times richer than Country F. On a log scale graph against time the gap between the two lines will be constant.
28. Country A has a GDP-per-capita of $500, and Country B has a GDP-per-capitaof $75,000. Which of the following is NOT a plausible reason for Country B’s higherGDP-per-capita?(A) Country B has more open and inclusive economic and political institutions.(B) Country B has more natural resource wealth.(C) Country B has lower productivity.(D) Country B has more capital.
The following table shows the GDP per capita of various countries forthe years 1960 and 2010 in PPP-adjusted 2005 dollars. The table alsocontains the implied growth rates, which show how much on average eachcountry needed to grow each year to reach the 2010 level of GDP per capitastarting from the 1960 level of GDP per capita. Use the table to answer thefollowing questions. 1. During 1960-2010, which countries failed to reduce the gap betweentheir GDP per capita and the U.S. GDP per capita?
