Consider the economies of Hermes and Gribinez, both of which produce gobs of goo using only tools and workers. Suppose that, during the course of 30 years, the level of physical capital per worker rises by 4 tools per worker in each economy, but the size of each labor force remains the same. Complete the following tables by entering productivity (in terms of output per worker) for each economy in 2016 and 2046. Hermes Physical Capital Labor Force Output (Gobs of goo) Productivity (Gobs per worker) Year (Tools per worker) (Workers) 2016 11 30 3,000 2046 15 30 3,600 Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity (Gobs per worker) Year (Tools per worker) (Gobs of goo) (Workers) 30 2016 8 2,400 2046 12 30 3,600 Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gribinez. From 2016 to 2046, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a amount than productivity in Gribinez. This illustrates the effect. Gribinez
