- 51. Suppose per capita GDP in a richer country is growing at a faster annual rate than in a poorer country. An implication of this difference in growth rates is that the gap between their standards of living will close over time as long as the rate of population growth is higher in the poorer country. whether the gap in living standards widens or closes over time depends on the absolute size of the relative growth rates. the gap between their standards of living will widen over time. the gap between their standards of living will close over time. the difference in their living standards will not change over time.arrow_forwardTrue or False: "Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given time period."arrow_forwardSuppose that the returns to education are 13.4% per year for the first four years of schooling (grades 1–4), 10.1% per year for the next four years (grades 5–8), and 6.8% per year for education beyond eight years.
