In 2000 GDP per capita was 18.3, capital/output was 3.3, human capital was 4.8. In 2010 GDP per capita was 23.3, capital/output 5.7, human capital was 4.5. In both years the production function is Cobb-Douglas with a value for α of 0.4. What was the ratio of GDP per capita in 2010 to 2000 due *just* to the change in the capital/output ratio? Use 2 decimal places.

This question pertains to correctly calculating total investment as a percent of GDP for a country across multiple years with different amounts of investment per year and different GDPs per year. I've seen 2 methods to calculate the total investment as a percent of GDP for 1 country. First, for each year, calculate investment as a percent of GDP for each year then sum those percentages. Second, sum all investments and sum all GDP across years and then divide sum of investments over sum of GDP. What is the correct method to calculate total investments across multiple years for 1 country when each year has a different GDP?
The following table shows real GDP per capita for Canada, South Korea, and Uganda between 1970 and 2000. All figures are in 1998 U.S. dollars. The (decade-long) economic growth rate for Canada is shown in the second column. For example, from 1970 to 1980, Canada's GDP grew from $12,717 to $16,731, an increase of $16,731−$12,717$12,717=32%$16,731−$12,717$12,717=32%. Use this method to fill in the growth rates for South Korea and Uganda.

Homework 5.6 While both India and China have grown tremendously over the last few decades, China appears to have clearly grown more impressively. See the GDP of the two countries in 1990 India GDP of $326 billion, China GDP of $358 billion By 2015, China’s GDP grew to $10.8 trillion India’s GDP grew to $2.07 trillion2 China’s growth > 33%, whereas India’s is > 6% The World Bank suggests that 800 million people have also moved out of poverty in China. The poverty rate fell from 88% of the population in 1981 to just above 4% of the population in 2014. India, cut its poverty level from 60% to 30% of its population between 1981 and 2012. However, the population also increased, so the overall decline in poverty was from 429 million to 400 million.. The growth of China and its effects on its population is visible. The rise of a middle class has turned China into a marketer's dream as a huge 'market' for all products such as automobiles. Question: What reasons can be you attribute for…
Why did the average GDP growth rate declined in Western Europe during the period of 1913- 1950 comparing to the period 1870-1913. Start you answer by quoting the GDP growth rates (not GDP per capita growth rates) from the Madison table.
A typical U.S. worker today works fewer than 40 hours per week, while in 1890, he or she worked 60 hours per week. Does this difference in the length of work weeks matter in comparing the economic well-being of U.S. workers today with that of 1890? Or can we use the difference between real GDP per capita today and in 1890 to measure differ- ences in economic well-being while ignoring differences in the number of hours worked per week? Briefly explain.
Economic growth around the world The following table reports real income per person for several different economies in the years 1960 and 2010. It also gives each economy's average annual growth rate during this period. For example, real income per person in Niger was $945 in 1960, and it actually declined to $570 by 2010. Niger's average annual growth rate during this period was -1.01%, and it was the poorest economy in the table in the year 2010. The real income-per-person figures are denominated in U.S. dollars with a base year of 2005. The following exercises will help you to understand the different growth experiences of these economies.
