Part C: Economic Growth For the following questions, you will need the following formula: let Xo be the initial value, X+ be the value after t periods and g be the growth rate by period, then X = Xo (1+g)* . You may also need the log properties: log(ab) = blog(a) and log(ab) = log(a) + log(b). The properties imply: log(x) = log(X) + t log(1 + g). a. Suppose the initial real per capita GDP for countries A and B is 11 thousand dollars. If the annual growth rates of countries A and B are respectively 3.9% and 5.9%, what is the the ratio XB/XA after 35 years? Round your answer to the nearest first decimal. Number b. Suppose the annual growth rates of countries A and B are respectively 3.9% and 5.9%. How many years it will take for each country to double their respective real per capita GDP? Round your answer to the nearest first decimal. Country A: Number Country B: Number c. Suppose the initial real per capita GDP of countries A, B and C are respectively 10, 10 and 50 thousand dollars. If their annual growth rates are respectively 3.9%, 5.9% and 1.0%, how many years it will take for countries A and B to converge to country C? Round your answer to the nearest first decimal.

An economy starts off with a GDP per capital of 12,000 euros. How large will the GDP per capita be if it grows at an annual rate of 3 for 10 years? 3 for 30 years? 6 for 30 years?
Over the past 50 years, many countries have experienced an annual growth rate in real GDP per capita greater than that of the United States. Some examples are China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Does that mean the United States is regressing relative to other countries? Does that mean these countries will eventually overtake the United States in terms of the growth rate of real GDP per capita? Explain.

10. The Reverend Thomas Malthus (a British economist) thought that arithmetic growth in food supply (such as a farmer adding five more bushels of apples to his harvest every year) exhibited: A. positive exponential growth (logarithmic increase) over time B. logistic growth (linear increase, then exponential, then linear again) over time C. saturation growth (Michaelis-Menten increases) over time D. negative exponential growth (logarithmic decrease) over time E. linear growth (straight line increase) over time
1.1. Basic properties of growth rates. Use the fact that the growth rate of a variable equals the time derivative of its log to show: (a) The growth rate of the product of two variables equals the sum of their growth rates. That is, if Z(t) = X(t)Y(t), then Ż(t)/Z(t) = [X(t)/X(t)] + [Ÿ(t)/Y(t)]. (b) The growth rate of the ratio of two variables equals the difference of their growth rates. That is, if Z(t) = X(t)/Y(t), then Ż(t)/Z(t) = [X(t)/X(t)]-[Y(t)/Y(t)]. (c) If Z(t) = aX(t)a, then Ż(t)/Z(t) = aX(t)/X(t).

How can we measure growth over the very long run? Te poorest countries in the world have a per capita income of about $600 today. We can reason-ably assume that it is nearly impossible to live on an income below half this level (below $300). Per capita income in the United States in 2015 was about$51,000. With this information in mind, consider the following questions.(a) For how long is it possible that per capita income in the United Stateshas been growing at an average annual rate of 2% per year?(b) Some economists have argued that growth rates are mismeasured. Forexample, it may be difcult to compare per capita income today with percapita income a century ago when so many of the goods we can buy todaywere not available at any price then. Suppose the true growth rate in thepast century was 3% per year rather than 2%. What would the level of percapita income in 1800 have been in this case? Is this answer plausible?

Recall that general form of fundamental equation of growth in Solow model is described as follows: k: = s f(k) – (gs + 5)ka %3D Noting that at steady-state ks = 0 and hence a Using the fact kss= 0, show the steady-state graphically and provide economic interpretation of the steady-state condition s- f(k ss) = (gs + 8)k s- b.
