Which of the following is a correct statement about the difference between chain-weighted and fixed-weight real GDP growth rates?   a) Chain-weighted growth rates are more accurate if prices are rising slowly. Fixed-weight growth rates are more accurate when prices are rising rapidly. b) Chain-weighted growth rates depend on the choice of base year. Fixed-weight growth rates do not. c) Chain-weighted growth rates tend to be larger, the earlier is the base year. This is not the case for fixed-weight growth rates. d) Fixed-weighted growth rates tend to decline when the base year is updated. Chain-weighted growth rates do not.

Suppose there is an increase in the saving rate. We know that this will cause an increase in which of the following in the steady state? growth rate of output level of output growth rate of capital per worker growth rate of output per effective worker none of the above

Suppose that the US government sets an economic goal to increase the Real GDP (base=2022) from $25,464 billion dollars to $38,196 billion dollars with an aggresive average annual rate of growth of 3%. How many years should it take for the US Economy to achieve this economic goal? Round up your answer to a whole number of years.

According to the neoclassical growth model, the production function of an economy can be represented as Y=f(L,K, A). Which of the following is considered as a decline in technology under this framework? A fall in the capital to labour ratio Depreciation of capital stock A fall in labour to capital ratio. An increase in the number of steps a business must take to obtain government approval to sell a new product Reduction in immigration

We have two countries: Volatilia and Stabilia. Given the path of natural real GDP growth, which of them is preferred by economists? How are the real GDP gaps in each country (large, or small)? Economic Failure and Success Natural real GDP Natural real GDP Actual real GDP Actual real GDp Time Time la) Volatilia hị Stabilia Real GDP Real GDP

How do I explain how changes in unemployment and inflation are related to changes in GDP growth?  My answer will ultimately be specific to the 1980s.

Over many years, small differences in growth rates can have large effects on the level of income. This question will help you understand this important point. Consider an initial value of real GDP equal to Yo. If real GDP grows at a rate of g percent annually, after N years real GDP will equal Yo(1+g). Now consider the following table. Let the initial level of GDP in all cases be 100. a. By using the formula provided above, compute the level of real GDP in column 1 for each year. For example, in Year 1, real GDP will equal 100x (1.01)¹=101. For each year, compute the GDP. Complete the rest of the columns. (Round your responses to two decimal places.) b. In year 20, how much larger (in percentage terms) is real GDP in the 2.0-percent growth case compared with the 1.5-percent growth case? Real GDP in the 2.0-percent growth case is% larger. (Round your response to the nearest whole number.) c. In year 50, how much larger is real GDP in the 2.0-percent growth case compared to the…

For a high-income economy like the United States, what element of the aggregate production function are most important in bringing about growth in per capita GDP? What about the middle-income country such as Brazil? A low-income country such as Niger?

Suppose you add a variable rate of population growth to a two-sector model of growth. Draw and properly label a graph on how the production function, investment requirement line, and saving line look like. Does the addition of the variable rate of population growth to this model help you explain anything that a simpler two-sector model with a fixed rate of growth, or a one sector model with variable population growth, cannot? Expound.

In 2017, the population in the US was estimated at 325.1 million. The population in 2018 was estimated to be 326.8 million. Assuming that the population growth is compounding annually at a constant growth rate, calculate the growth rate from year 1 to year 2. Source: United States Census Bureau 0.45 % 5.2 % 4.5 % 0.52%
