What can you say about Turkey in the average GDP growth for the next 3 years (2021-2023)?
Per capita income (or output) is the general measure used to compare the standard of living between countries. If a country's population growth is higher than its economic growth, what happens to per capita income? What are some of the limitations to using per capita income as a measure to compare the well-being of different countries?

- Suppose that real GDP per capita of the United States is $32,000 and its growth rate is 2% per year and that real GDP per capita of China is $4,000, and its annual growth rate is 7%. How long will it take real GDP per capita of the United States to double?arrow_forwardSmall differences in the rate of economic growth can lead to large differences in living standards. Consider two countries: Fritolaysia and Khandibar. Currently, real GDP per person (average income) is $60,000 in Fritolaysia and $20,000 in Khandibar. Suppose you want to project what the real GDP per person will be in each country 100 years from now. The following formula shows how to compute the average income in n years, where g represents the growth rate of real GDP per person (in decimal form-that is, 1.5% is entered as 0.015): Average Income in n Years Current Average Income x (1 + g)" Use the growth formula to find the correct amounts to select to fill in the following table. Growth Rate Average Income after 100 Years (Percent) (Dollars) 1.5 1.7 4 4.2 1 1.5% 1.7% Suppose Fritolaysia is expected to grow at 1.7% for the next 100 years.
