Although economic growth is typically measured by calculating the rate of changein real GDP, there are a few problems associated with the use of GDP as ameasure of economic growth.Identify these problems.(4)Q.3.2 Economic growth can originate from the demand side or from the supply side ofthe economy. Discuss the sources of economic growth on the demand side.
1.how do endogenous growth theories enhance growth in economies.2.Studies found that economies having similar cultures and policies converge to one another at a rate of about 2 percent per year. doyou agree with this finding and why or why not?
Consider a nation in which the volume of goods and services is growing by 5 percent per year. What is the likely impact of this high rate of growth on the power and influence of its government relative to other countries experiencing slower rates of growth? What about the effect of this 5 percent growth on the nation’s living standards? Will these also necessarily grow by 5 percent per year, given population growth? Why or why not?

The issue of viability – if the economy is growing slowly or not at all, do we have any chance of achieving success with each of the 4 growth factors? What will likely cause us problems? What approaches could we use to increase our odds of success?

Please answer quesition 2! Suppose that work hours in New Zombie are 200 in year 1 and productivity is $8 per hour worked. What is New Zombie’s real GDP? If work hours increase to 210 in year 2 and productivity rises to $10 per hour, what is New Zombie’s rate of economic growth? Explain why sustained long-term economic growth comes from increases in labor productivity. Why do you think the trend rate of U.S. productivity growth has increased since the earlier 1973–1995 period? The GDP of year 1 is $1,600. The GDP of year two is $2,100. The rate of economic growth is 31.25% Monetary development must be supported just when endogenous elements experience an expansion in their efficiency. Work efficiency is dictated by the gathering of human capital in an economy.
