Real GDP per capita is 49,773 (measured in constant 2017 International Dollar, same for the following numbers) in the year 2019 for Canada, and 62,491 for the United States. Real capital stock per capita is 225,268 in the year 2019 for Canada and 209,866 for the United States. Decompose the differences in real GDP per capita between Canada and the United States into the contribution from productivity and that from capital accumulation. Explain using your results why real GDP per capita is lower in Canada than in the United States. You can use a capital share α of 1/3.

1. (This is problem 3, page 238 of the textbook.) For a particular economy, the following capital input K and labor input N were reported in four different years: Year 1 234 4 K 200 250 250 300 N 1000 1000 1250 1200 The production function in this economy is Y=K0.3 Nº.7, where Y is total output. a. Find total output, the capital-labor ratio, and output per worker in each year. Compare year 1 with year 3 and year 2 with year 4. Can this production function be written in per-worker form? If so, write algebraically the per- worker form of the production function. b. Repeat Part (a) but assume now that the production function is Y = Kº.3 Nº.8
