Increment in real GDP (
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
In 1900, the real GDP per capita was about $6000; more than a century later in 2014, it had risen to about $50,010. It indicates that an average American in 2014 can purchase more than eight times the goods and services like an average American in the year 1900. This increase in real GDP per capita really understates the true increase in the standard of living of Americans 2014 compared to1900because several current goods and services were not available in the year 1900.

Suppose that, in an imaginary country, the last decade witnessed a flow of employment from coal mining to automotive industry. Explain why would this change most possibly create positive affects on real GDP per capita?
The magazine Women of China reported that Chinese women in big cities spent 63% of their income on consumer goods last year, up from a meagre 26% in 2007. Clothing accounted for the biggest chunk of that spending, at nearly 30%, followed by digital products such as cellphones and cameras (11%) and travel (10%). Chinese consumption as a whole grew faster than the overall economy in the first half of the year and is expected to reach 42% of GDP by 2020, up from the current 36%.
