What is real GDP per capita if a country's real GDP is $5,968 billion and that country's population is 445 million? Round your answer to two digits after the decimal without a $ and without commas.
which of the following is NOT a problem in using economic statistics?
a) using GDP statistics to compare income in the U.S. and Bangladesh may be inaccurate because household production (non-market) is a much higher percentage of the economy of Bangladesh.
b) Using the published CPI statistics to calculate changes in the purchasing power of your income is inaccurate because the CPI is calculated for the "average consumer's" spending pattern.
c)The same statistics are often interpreted differently by different politicians and reporters, which makes it difficult to understand what is really happening without understanding how the statistics were calculated.
d) Government statisticians in the U.S. frequently distort the numbers.
What is real GDP per capita if a country's real GDP is $6.98 trillion and that country's population is 361 million? Round your answer to two digits after the decimal without a $ and without commas.

- Let us use what we have learned in the first part of the chapter to compare living standards in the United States and a hypothetical country, Argonia, in 2008. The U.S. GDP in 2008 was approximately $14 trillion, and the U.S. population was approximately 300 million. What was the per capita GDP in the United States in 2008? Suppose that in the local currency, Argonian dollars, Argonia’s GDP in 2008 was 1 trillion, and its population was 10 million. What was Argonia’s GDP per capita in Argonian dollars? What problems do you foresee in comparing this number to the U.S. GDP per capita in U.S. dollars computed in part (a)? The Argonian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate was equal to 6 on January 1, 2008 (meaning that 1 U.S. dollar was worth 6 Argonian dollars) and reached 9 on August 1, 2008. Compute an exchange-rate-based measure of the GDP per capita in Argonia in U.S. dollars on these two dates.

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…arrow_forward
