A typical U.S. worker today works fewer than 40 hours per week, while in 1890, he or she worked 60 hours per week. Does this difference in the length of work weeks matter in comparing the economic well-being of U.S. workers today with that of 1890? Or can we use the difference between real GDP per capita today and in 1890 to measure differ- ences in economic well-being while ignoring differences in the number of hours worked per week? Briefly explain.
The per capita GDP in Western Europe was 1.200 dollars in 1820 and 3.460 dollars in 1913 while in Ottoman Empire 720 and 1.150 dollars at the same years. How can you explain that the per capita GDP in WE is almost the double of the Ottoman per capita GDP in 1820?
Three Irish sisters are thinking about emigrating in 1870. The optionsare going to the United States or Argentina, or staying in Ireland. They cannot agree where to go and split up. One stays in Ireland, one emigrates to the United States and one to Argentina. The following table provides information on real GDP per capita in 1870, 1913, and 1929 in Ireland, theUnited States and Argentina expressed in U.S. dollars of 1990, which we will use to analyze how each did. real GDP per capita 1870 1913 1929Ireland 1,775 2,736 2,824United States 2,445 5,301 6,899Argentina 1,311 3,797 4,367 (a) Using GDP per capita as a measure of wealth, how much richer or poorer was the average Irish relative to the average American and Argentine in 1870?

Compute the "Per capita GDP", which can be obtained by dividing the GDP for each state by that state's population. This number helps economists compare the economic activity between regions that have different population sizes. (Round your answers to nearest dollar.)
You have the following information on 3 countries: Soccerland, Handeggland, and Neverland. How long will it take until Soccerland’s GDP increases by 75%? How long will it take until Soccerland and Handeggland have the same GDP? Soccerland’s population is not happy that, eventually, Handeggland is going to have higher GDP than their country. They feel that they are a much better country, so they are going to work harder to ensure that Handeggland will never catch up with Soccerland. If Soccerland’s new growth rate is constant every year, what is the minimum growth rate that ensures that Soccerland will always have a higher GDP than Handeggland? Neverland’s ambition is to host the World Cup. At the beginning of 2013, its GDP was 2,000 and it was growing at 10% a year. Moreover, it will keep this pace until it hosts the World Cup. In order to host such a big event, Neverland’s GDP must be at least 6,000. After the moment it reaches that GDP level, it will host the World Cup at…
