Suppose owners of capital get 50 percent of national income, while workers receive 50 percent. In Period 1, the capital stock was 5, the labor input was 4, and the output was 16. In Period 2, the capital stock was 9, the labor input was 6, and the output was 21. Between the two periods, how much did total factor productivity and output per capita

Capital per person in France is about 81 percent of the U.S. level and per capita income is about 79 percent of the U.S. level. Given that per capita income y = Ak0.3, calculate the level of total factor productivity (A), relative to the U.S. level, that would be needed for France to match the U.S. level of per capita income. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
Why was Land Use Reform a successful policy in several Asian countries in promoting economic growth? By making public land available for farming, peasant farmers could rotate crops more easily. By making all farmland publicly owned, farmers could collectively work to maximize their yields. O By reallocating farmland for use in manufacturing, industrialization was incentivized. O By taking farmland away from landlords and giving it to peasant farmers, those farmers had an incentive to improve their yields.
Consider a small island country whose only industry is printing. The following table shows information about the small economy in two different years. Complete the table by calculating physical capital per worker as well as labour productivity. Hint: Recall that productivity is defined as the amount of goods and services a worker can produce per hour. In this problem, measure productivity as the quantity of goods per hour of labour. Labour Hours Output Labour Productivity Physical Capital (Printing presses) Labour Force Physical Capital per Worker (Workers) (Printing presses) Year (Hours) (Books) (Books per hour of labour) 2026 40 20 1,000 6,000 2027 120 40 1,400 12,600 Based on your calculations, in physical capital per worker from 2026 to 2027 is associated with in labour productivity from 2026 to 20 an increase Suppose you're in charge of a decrease conomic policy for this small island country. Which of the following policies would lead to greater productivity in the printing…

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 Zambia was $1,412 in 1960, and it actually declined to $1,309 by 2010. Zambia's average annual growth rate during this period was -0.15%, 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. Economy Real Income per Person in 1960 (Dollars) Real Income per Person in 2010 (Dollars) Annual Growth Rate (Percent) Austria 9,773 35,031 2.59 Venezuela 7,307 9,762 0.58 Botswana 468 9,515 6.21 Malaysia 1,624 11,863 4.06 Honduras 1,932 3,146 0.98 Zambia 1,412 1,309 -0.15 Indicate which economy satisfies each of the following…
