11. The table below shows the average income per person in two countries in 1900 and their subsequent growth rates. Country Argentina Growth rate from 1900 to 2010 Income per person in 1900 $2756 $2758 1.03% Canada 2.19% The growth rates are only slightly different so maybe we should expect that they end up with similar, but not identical final incomes but they didn't. What was the absolute value of the difference in their in 2010?

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.
Suppose that our potato economy decided to reduce consumption and increase investment. How would this change affect economic growth? Illustrate your answer with a graph. What if we expanded beyond the potatoes to the US economy. How would this change affect different groups in society and who would benefit from this change? What groups might be hurt?
4. Select a developing country that interests you and search for evidence suggesting which factors are the binding constraints on growth.
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. Growth Rate Average Income after 100 Years (Percent) (Dollars) 1.5 1.7 4 4.2 1 1.5% 1.7% Suppose Fritolaysia is expected to grow at 1.7% for the next 100 years. Which of the following growth rates in Khandibar would cause the average income in Khandibar to exceed the average income in Fritolaysia in 100…

> Consider the data in the table below: Per capita GDP, 2017 Saving rate (%) TFP (Ā) United States 1.000 23.5 1.000 Switzerland 1.151 28.8 1.052 Answer the following questions using the Solow growth model. 9. Assuming no differences in TFP (ignore the last column) and no differences in the rate of depreciation between the U.S. and Switzerland, use the data in the table to predict the ratio of per capita GDP of Switzerland relative to that of the U.S. in the steady states. How much percent richer is Switzerland than the U.S. in steady state? 10. Now do the same exercise assuming TFP is given by the levels in the last column. Now how much percent richer is Switzerland than the U.S. in steady state? Consider the data in the table below: Per сapita GDP, 2017
If X grows at a rate of 9% a year, and Y grows at a rate of 14 percent per year, what is the growth rate of X/Y? a. 23% b. -5% c. 5% d.

Assume that a leader country has real GDP per capita of $40,000, whereas a follower country has real GDP per capita of $20,000. Next suppose that the growth of real GDP per capita falls to zero percent in the leader country and rises to 2 percent in the follower country. If these rates continue for long periods of time, how many years will it take for the follower country to catch up to the living standard of the leader country?
