Changes in productivity can be analysed by looking at how GDP per employed worker changes over time or how GDP per hour worked changes over time. Why might one measure be more preferable than the other? a. GDP per hour worked is preferable because it eliminates the need to adjust for variations in productivity between employed workers. b. GDP per employed worker is preferable because the number of employed workers has risen significantly over time. c. GDP per employed worker is more accurate because the data available on the number of employed workers is more accurate than the data available on the number of hours worked. d. GDP per hour worked is more accurate because the average number of hours worked per employed worker has changed over time. e. Both measures are equally good.
