three generations. However, in the last couple of decades not even China’s growth rate has been 12%.
Korea. Over the last 60 years or so, Korea has been one of the most successful economies in the world. What are the sources of this success? Consider the following data:
GDP per capita is expressed in 2017 US dollars. Population and employment are in millions of heads. Capital is in thousands of dollars. Education is a human capital index based on the average years of schooling.
(a) Compute the (average continuously compounded) growth rate of GDP per worker.
(b) Use our growth accounting methodology to allocate growth in output per worker to TFP, capital per worker, and human capital. What factors are most important?
(c) What is the growth rate of GDP per capita? How does it differ from growth in output per worker? Why?
Suppose the GDP growth resulting from physical capital in an economy is 1%, and the growth resulting from human capital is 2%. If the annual growth rate of GDP is 5%, the growth resulting from technology equals:
1%

Growth rates can only be positive. Growth rates will alternate between positive and negative values in every consecutive period.

- Assume that the growth rate of the capital stock in each period is determined by the level of output in the previous period. 1) An economy of 80 million people has ten percent of them engaged in research and development, where their productivity is 0.0035. The economy is on a balanced growth path, when suddenly 2.88 million people move from goods production into R&D, raising the fraction there to 13.6 percent. In the one period that begins with this labor reallocation, the growth rate of output is ________. [Refer to the instruction above.] A) 2.8% B) 0.0% C) 3.8% D) 2.2%arrow_forwardIf an economy's GDP will double in 15 years, then its growth rate must be about: 7% 15% 10% 4.7%arrow_forwardSuppose a country has a real GDP per capita of $68,000 and grows at a constant rate for the next 36 years. How much larger (in percentage terms) is this country if its growth rate is 4.33% instead of 3.13% after 36 years of growth? Answer this as a percentage and round your answer to two digits after the decimal without the percentage sign. ex. If you found the rate to be 5.125%, answer 5.13.arrow_forward
