Why did the average GDP growth rate declined in Western Europe during the period of 1913- 1950 comparing to the period 1870-1913. Start you answer by quoting the GDP growth rates (not GDP per capita growth rates) from the Madison table.
Small differences in the rate of economic growth can lead to large differences in living standards. Consider two countries: Fritolaysia and Khandibar.
Currently, real GDP per person (average income) is $60,000 in Fritolaysia and $20,000 in Khandibar.
Suppose you want to project what the real GDP per person will be in each country 100 years from now. The following formula shows how to compute
the average income in n years, where g represents the growth rate of real GDP per person (in decimal form-that is, 1.5% is entered as 0.015):
Average Income in n Years Current Average Income x (1 + g)"
Use the growth formula to find the correct amounts to select to fill in the following table.

What are the current growth rates, population size and patterns of the United States, China, and Brazil. What are the discussions on events or policies that may have affected that countries population size/growth rate. Be sure to include reputable sources, such as the United Nations or your selected country's government websites. government's response to population changes (laws, policies, social changes, etc.) Give the current population size of the world and the current projection of the population size as the 21st century progressed.

Because of the diminishing returns to capital accumulation, we should see tendencies for unconditional convergence between poor and rich countries. Divergence between countries is expected if we make conditions on key variables such as population growth rates and savings rates. If countries have similar features such as population growth rates and saving rates, then conditional convergence may occur The OECD countries are homogeneous Richer is the country, faster is its growth ratearrow_forward
