**The Big Push Model of Development**The figure below illustrates the Big Push model of development. It showcases a scenario often analyzed in development economics where coordinated efforts can lead to industrialization and economic growth.### Detailed Explanation of the GraphThe graph plots quantity of output ($Q_i$) on the vertical axis against labor input per capita ($L_i/N$) on the horizontal axis.- **Points on the Graph:** - **Point F** - Represents the initial starting point. - **Point A** - Indicates the output level $Q1$ that the modern sector firm would produce initially. - **Point B** - Indicates the output level $Q2$ where profits are made even when costs are higher, represented by $W2$. - **Point C** - Another relevant point showing intersection with different cost levels.- **Lines:** - **Green Line ($W2$)** - Represents a higher cost structure. - **Blue Line ($Q1$)** - A lower level of output relevant to initial industry entry. - **Red Line** - Indicates a path or trend showing potential increasing returns or efficiency gains with higher outputs.### Multiple-Choice Question**Question:**Which of the following would NOT be relevant to the model?**Options:**A) If the modern sector firm were to enter, it would produce $Q1$ units of output. But if they expect other firms will enter, they also enter increasing output to $Q2$. At output $Q2$, everyone will make a profit even at $W2$.B) If the modern sector firm were to enter, it would produce $Q1$ units of output. But it would not enter as its costs would exceed its revenue at $W2$.C) All of the above.D) None of the above.E) If agents on their own, or with the encouragement of some coordinator, enter they can initiate industrialization, creating the big push, from point A to B.---### ExplanationThis question assesses the understanding of the Big Push theory in which coordinated effort or some sort of large-scale investment pushes the economy from a low-level equilibrium trap to a higher equilibrium with modern industrial capabilities.Understanding the graph and the critical points like $A$, $B$, $W2$, and how industrialization proceeds through increasing returns or collaborative efforts is

The graph below shows the standard model for economic growth. Output per worker В A Capital per worker One curve represents New Zealand and the other Ghana. The country of Ghana is likely to be at point while New Zealand is likely to be at point The improvement in output per worker due to adopting new technology could be shown as Which of the following does the model above suggest? Oeconomic growth in New Zealand is higher than it is in Ghana Oit is possible for Ghana to experience relatively high growth rates compared to New Zealand OGhana is poor due to high rates of corruption and poor infrastructure Othe only way for Ghana to raise living standards is to adopt new technology
Economic Growth – End of Chapter Problem One analyst predicts that self-driving cars will ultimately reduce the number of cars that are produced. She argues that because self-driving cars can drive other people rather than sitting in people's driveways and garages, the United States will need to produce fewer cars. She argues that growth will slow because we are producing a decreasing number of cars each year. Do you agree? Why or why not? Producing fewer cars, everything else equal, will economic growth. However, the resources no longer used to produce cars be used to produce other items. Furthermore, the self-driving cars could opportunities for new businesses, which would have the effect. Therefore, the ultimate impact self-driving cars would have on economic growth is

Evaluate critically the following statement: “the developed countries have all shown a significant increase in the numbers of university-trained workers as incomes have risen; thus, the development of a solid university system should be among the major priorities of developing countries.” [1/2 page]
Look at the hypothetical data in the table below: Real GDP per capitaNigeria-$1,000Mexico-$8,000China-$15,000United States-$33,000 Fact is, changes in income over time explains economic growth of a country. Using two sources of growth, account for the large differences in income per capita across these countries?
2. You are a manager at a large shampoo company and on the search for future markets. You identified two low income countries that look very dynamic: Country A has a GDP/capita growth rate of -1% and population growth rate of 9%. Country B has a GDP/capita growth rate of 7% and constant population. (a) Discuss which country you should focus on for your expansion. (b) Discuss if your answer would change if the products you are trying to sell are cars.
