Between 1970 and 2005, Chinaâ€™s GDP per capita grew at an average rate of 7.3% per year while GDP per capita in the US grew at an average rate of 2.2%. In 2005, US GDP per capita was $36,806 and Chinese GDP per capita was $5,955. Assuming that the two countries continue to grow at these rates, in what year will China overtake the US in terms of GDP per capita?

Economic growth around the world The following table reports real income per person for several different economies in the years 1960 and 2010. It also gives each economy's average annual growth rate during this period. For example, real income per person in Niger was $945 in 1960, and it actually declined to $570 by 2010. Niger's average annual growth rate during this period was -1.01%, and it was the poorest economy in the table in the year 2010. The real income-per-person figures are denominated in U.S. dollars with a base year of 2005. The following exercises will help you to understand the different growth experiences of these economies.

South Korea has reclaimed the number one spot in terms of the ratio of research and development (R&D) spending to gross domestic product (GDP). South Korea’s ratio was 4.55 percent last year, higher than Israel’s 4.25 percent. The total amount of Korea’s R&D investment reached 78.8 trillion won (US$69.73 billion) last year, up more than 13.5 percent from a year earlier and the fifth largest in the world. The Ministry of Science and ICT released on Nov. 27 the results of its survey on R&D activities carried out in the government, public and private sectors in South Korea last year. The survey was conducted on 59,603 domestic companies from April to September based on the OECD standards for international comparison of material and human resources injected into R&D. Out of the 59,603 firms, 50,619 responded to the survey, showing a collection rate of 84.9 percent, and those not responded the survey were so small that they wouldn’t actually affect the results, according to…
Statistics Denmark monitors the development of economic variables and measures e.g. productivity development.In general, it is one of the laws of economics that employee productivity determines the ability of employers to pay employees wages. The higher the productivity (per capita output), the higher the wages that can be paid. In a recession, such as Covid, companies are generally reducing their use of labor. The latest statistics show the following: In the third quarter of 2020, labor productivity growth in Denmark was 2%. This increase alone does not say much, but is considered to be able to reflect an increase in productivity following a contraction in labor input. a. Show the relationship between production and labor use in the short term and at the same time explain with a picture what can cause the growth of productivity. b. What is happening to marginal production at the same time? c. Show how wages develop if companies keep marginal costs fixed in the above circumstances…
The following table reports real income per person for several different economies in the years 1960 and 2010. It also gives each economy's average annual growth rate during this period. For example, real income per person in Zambia was $1,412 in 1960, and it actually declined to $1,309 by 2010. Zambia's average annual growth rate during this period was -0.15%, and it was the poorest economy in the table in the year 2010. The real income-per-person figures are denominated in U.S. dollars with a base year of 2005. The following exercises will help you to understand the different growth experiences of these economies.

Suppose China’s GDP is growing by 7% a year and its population grows by 1% a year. Also suppose that US GDP grows by 3% a year and its population grows by 1% a year, and that in 2019 US GDP is 1.5 times China’s while US population is one quarter of China’s. If these growth rates continue By what year will China’s GDP double? Its population? Its per capita GDP?In what year will China’s GDP equal US GDP?In what year will China’s GDP per capita equal US GDP per capita?
