The economic activity of a country is often quantified as the gross domestic product (GDP), which is the sum of private and government consumption, investments, and net exports (the value of exports minus the value of imports). For a developed country such as the United States, economists might see a GDP growth rate of 3% a year as reasonable. However, production and consumption create some pollution. By how much would pollution per dollar of GDP have to decline for pollution levels 50 years from now to be the same as current levels, assuming a 3% annual growth rate of GDP? In 75 years? In 100 years? (Hint: Let the current pollution level be 1 and find out what the future pollution level would be).
In the short term and with almost full employment, it is most realistic to increase GDP / per capita by: a. Employees move to sectors with higher labor productivity b. Labor productivity becomes higher, e.g. through increased investment and better education c. Taxes are reduced so that it pays to work harder d. The state supports industries with highly expected growth potential
You were familiarized with GDP in this module. Sometimes, economic topics seem pretty remote and not immediately related to our everyday lives. However, think about COVID 19 in 2020. While many Americans were affected by the virus, many more were impacted by the decreased economic activity and new ways of doing business put in place trying to contain the virus. Which of the changes made do you think might end up being permanent and kept in place after the pandemic is contained?
The table below represents the economy of Bruce, IL, which is a small town in Moultrie County. Corn is grown and only used in the production of beef (as feed). Rifles are produced but only used by government for policing. Beef and juice are produced and consumed by all citizens. If necessary, use 2012 as your base year. Corn Rifles Beef Juice Price Quantity Price Quantity Price Quantity Price Quantity 2011 $350 1000 $150 100 $5 100 $2 210 2012 $360 700 $175 120 $6 110 $2 220 2013 $380 1100 $165 140 $6 130 $4 220 2014 $400 1200 $185 150 $6 140 $5 200 What is the nominal GDP for 2013?
This case study focuses on the Australian economy in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. On 4th September 2019, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) published Real GDP data for the quarter ending June 2019. (The reporting of GDP always lags by about 2 months as it takes time to collect and compile data). The data showed that the Australian economy recorded quarterly growth of 0.5%. However, there was a decrease in Real GDP per capita. Furthermore, Real GDP per capita in June 2019 was lower than it was a year before (June 2018). Overall, while Real GDP still increased, the growth was very weak; the weakest on record since March 2001. (Source: Australian Financial Review and The Guardian). Required: Question 1. Clearly explain what Real GDP per capita means.Clearly explain why Real GDP per capita decreased whereas there was still growth in Real GDP for the quarter ending June 2019. Question 2. Given the economic conditions described above, predict how the following key…

Mauritius is an island nation off the coast of the African continent in the Indian Ocean. At various points in its history, it has been a Dutch colony, a French colony, and a British colony and it gained its independence in 1968. It has many lovely beaches and is a major destination for parasailing, SCUBA diving, and water skiing. The country generally has good governance and free trade. The population is approximately 1.4MM people. GDP over the last few years has been growing steadily from $25.5B in 2015 to $28B in 2018 (estimated) – which translates into an average growth rate of 3.9%. GDP per capita is $21,600 and the unemployment rate is 6.9%. Assume Mauritius is a small open economy. Further, assume that the world interest rate (r*) and the equilibrium interest rate of Mauritius (r c – the interest rate in Mauritius if it were a closed economy) are equal to each other. a) Imagine now that a new Prime Minister and Parliament are elected in Mauritius. The new administration and…
