Studies indicate that women bear more of the financial burden of raising their families. Educated mothers have a multiplier impact on the quality of the country's human resources for many generations. Increasing women's education not only increases their productivity in the workplace but also results in greater labor force participation, later marriage, lower fertility, and greatly enhanced child health and nutrition.

Define productivity. 2. See if you can verify Baumol and Blinder’s very strong claim (“nothing contributes more ...”) through the following exercise. Assume GDP in the United States is $10 trillion and that the labor force remains constant in size and fully employed. Estimate the value of GDP in one year’s time if productivity growth is 3%. What if it were only 2%? How much will GDP fall in two years’ time if productivity growth remains at 2% rather than 3%? In three years? 3. Why might environmental regulation reduce productivity growth? 4. Why might it increase…
