Growth rates of per capita GDP: Compute the average annual growth rate ofper capita GDP in each of the cases below. Te levels are provided for 1980and 2014, measured in constant 2011 dollars.11
You learned that convergence is a pattern in which economies with low per capita income grows faster than economies with high per capita incomes. In this context, there are arguments pro and against convergence. Based on the figure below, choose the correct answer for the blanks: Technology 3 Technology 2 Output per Capita G₁ G₂ G₁ R S T V W Technology 1 C₁ C₂ C₂ Capital (physical and human) Capital deepening and new technology text only. One of the arguments that favors convergence is based on the idea of the diminishing marginal returns of capital deepening that is illustrated when the economy moved from point R to point U to point W However, the argument that convergence is neither inevitable nor likely argues that the development of new technologies can sidestep the diminishing marginal returns of capital deepening, so that the economy could move from point U to W from point S to point T , and then

The following figure shows that the average growth rate of real per capita GDP is negatively related to the initial level of real per-capita GDP. Average real per capita growth (5) 4.50 4.00 3.50 3.00 2.50 ||US -2.11 1.50 1.00 0.50 0.00 PHI O Dein HA 02.000 6,000 10,000 14,000 Real income per capita, 1950 Per capita growth 1950-2007 for 22 OECD countries What can we conclude from the above Figure? Because of the diminishing returns to capital accumulation, we should see tendencies for unconditional convergence between poor and rich countries. Divergence between countries is expected if we make conditions on key variables such as population growth rates and savings rates. If countries have similar features such as population growth rates and saving rates, then conditional convergence may occur The OECD countries are homogeneous Richer is the country, faster is its growth rate
Understanding of growth is important because it means that the country wants to grow in which region and then can formulate its policies accordingly.
