QUESTION 10
(continued) Based on the numbers in the previous problem economists have calculated that China's capital stock will increase by 3.89% to
$105.48 trillion by the end of the year. Does that mean the GDP will also increase by 3.89%? You can use the production function to
predict the change in GDP and compare. Use ,Y = AKU.4L0.6, and to estimate China's final GDP (in trillions of $s) and then calculate the
percent change from its initial GDP of $20.5 tríllion.
China's GDP grows but not as fast as the capital stock
China's GDP grows at the same rate as its capital stock
China's GDP grows faster than its capital stock
O China's GDP doesn't grow, so none of the above
