Some data at first might seem puzzling: The share of GDP devoted to investment was similar for Country liberty and Country Techno from 1970 - 2001. However, during these same years Country Techno had a 6 percent growth rate of average annual income per person, while Country liberty had only a 2 percent growth rate. If the saving rates were the same, why were the growth rates so different? а. b. Covid 19 pandemic has force the people in the economy Love & Laughter, to consume only 2 goods, food and clothing. The CPI is derived from the market basket of goods which consists of 25 units of food and 5 units of clothing. Clothing $20 FOOD 2018 price per unit 2019 price per unit $8 $12 $40 (i). What are the percentage increases in the price of food and in the price of clothing? (ii). What is the percentage increase in the CPI? iii). Do these price changes affect all consumers to the same extent? Explain.

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?
Consider two distinct countries, denoted as A and B. Initially, Country A had a per capita GDP of $10,000 and experienced a growth rate of 10%, while Country B had a per capita GDP of $40,000 and experienced a growth rate of 2%. Assuming that the growth rates remain unchanged, which country will have a higher per capita GDP when t = 35 time periods (years)? O Country B O Country A O All of these choices are correct. They are the same
Suppose, a country X has a GDP level of 4, 50,000 and a growth rate of 10% in 2007(calculated at the end of the fiscal year 2007). The experts predict that the growth ofthe economy of Country X will gradually slowdown in the coming years. Moreprecisely, they foresee the following growth rates for the future:2007 – 2010 = 10%2010 – 2013 = 9%2013 – 2016 = 7.5%2016 – 2019 = 5%2019 – on = 1% Hint: The list above should be read as saying that, for instance, the growth rate fromthe end of the fiscal year 2007 until the end of 2010 will be 10 %, then from the end of2010 until the end of 2013 it will be 9% and so on. Assuming that the predictions of the experts listed above are accurate, when in thefuture will Country X’s GDP double compared to the GDP level of 2007? Consider now the more optimistic scenario in which the economy does not slow downand the current growth rate of 10% remains constant in the coming years. How longwill it take for the GDP level to double in this scenario? Express…
Calculate the following using the Rule of 70: 3) How many years will Vietnam grow with a GDP of $260 billion dollars at a growth rate of 7%? 4) How many years will India grow with a GDP of $3 trillion dollars at a growth rate of 3%? 5) How many years will the U.S. grow with a GDP of $19 trillion dollars at a growth rate of 1.9%?
Suppose country X currently produces $1000 of goods and services per year with a constant growth rate of 2.0% per year. Country Y's production is currently $800 with growth of 3.0% per year. Using the rule of 72, how long does it take for country X's production to double? Using the rule of 72, how long does it take for country Y's production to double? years After how long will the two countries have the same level of production? Estimate the level of production when the two countries produce the same amount. $ 36 years 24 years
Let’s figure out how long it will take for the average Indian in India to be as wealthy as the average Western European is today. Note that all numbers are adjusted for inflation, so the numbers are comparable. India’s current GDP per capita is $3,000, let’s say that real output per person there grows at 5% per year. Using the rule of 70, how many years will it take for India to reach Italy’s current level of GDP per capita, about $24,000 per year?
1. Assume that there are two countries with the following characteristics. Per capita Output Y = A.kª.h¹-a A-technology k-per capita physical capital h-per capita human capital a-0.6 Country A with $500 per capita income saves 25% of its output and invests on physical capital, and 25% on investing in human capital. Country B with $5000 per capita income saves 25% of its output and invests on physical capital, and 35% on investing in human capital. a. What are the growth rates of the two countries? b. What will be the per capita income levels after 5 years? c. Will there be convergence on the per capita income in the future?
> Consider the data in the table below: Per capita GDP, 2017 Saving rate (%) TFP (Ā) United States 1.000 23.5 1.000 Switzerland 1.151 28.8 1.052 Answer the following questions using the Solow growth model. 9. Assuming no differences in TFP (ignore the last column) and no differences in the rate of depreciation between the U.S. and Switzerland, use the data in the table to predict the ratio of per capita GDP of Switzerland relative to that of the U.S. in the steady states. How much percent richer is Switzerland than the U.S. in steady state? 10. Now do the same exercise assuming TFP is given by the levels in the last column. Now how much percent richer is Switzerland than the U.S. in steady state? Consider the data in the table below: Per сapita GDP, 2017
If X grows at a rate of 9% a year, and Y grows at a rate of 14 percent per year, what is the growth rate of X/Y? a. 23% b. -5% c. 5% d. (9/14) % A nation’s population is growing 5% per year, and its total GDP is growing 1% per year. What is the annual rate of growth of GDP per capita?

The following table shows the GDP per capita of various countries forthe years 1960 and 2010 in PPP-adjusted 2005 dollars. The table alsocontains the implied growth rates, which show how much on average eachcountry needed to grow each year to reach the 2010 level of GDP per capitastarting from the 1960 level of GDP per capita. Use the table to answer thefollowing questions. 1. During 1960-2010, which countries were able to reduce the gap betweentheir GDP per capita and the U.S. GDP per capita?
