The table below shows the GDP of a country measured in trillions of dollars. What is the growth rate of the GDP of this country in 1999? Year 1998 1999 2000 2001 Profit $526.42 $527.10 $533.69 $541.70 O a) -0.02% O b) 0.04% O c) 0.08% O d) 0.13% O e) 0.18% O f) 0.25% g) There is not enough information to tell.
If real GDP per capita is increasing, the rate of real GDP growth is: O less than the rate of population growth. O greater than the rate of population growth. less than the rate of inflation. greater than the rate of inflation.
Consider the Solow growth model with no population growth and no tech- nology growth, i.e., n = x = 0. Output is created by a Cobb-Douglas pro- duction function combining Labor, Lt, and capital, Kt, such that output Yt is given by Y₁ = A+ KL₁-a = = Ao and Recall that, without population growth, Lt Lo and assume that Lo = 10. Furthermore, recall that, without technology growth, At assume that A0 = 2. Assume that the savings rate is s = 0.2, the depre- ciation rate is 8 = 0.1, and that the capital share is a = 0.3. A lower case letter denotes a variable in per capita. For example, kt= Kt/Lt. In the following questions, choose the closest number. What is the value of kss? (a) 72 (b) 27 (c) 7.2 (d) 2.7 What is the value of Yss for the Economy described in Question 7 (a) 36 (b) 3.6 (c) 2.7 (d) 27 Suppose that the economy described in Question 7 economy starts with Ко = 10. Choose the correct one for the change in capital over time. (a) fall (b) grow (c) Once dropped, it grows (d) unchange…
