- Suppose a country has a real GDP per capita of $68,000 and grows at a constant rate for the next 36 years. How much larger (in percentage terms) is this country if its growth rate is 4.33% instead of 3.13% after 36 years of growth? Answer this as a percentage and round your answer to two digits after the decimal without the percentage sign. ex. If you found the rate to be 5.125%, answer 5.13.arrow_forward2001, a country had a real GDP of $30,000,000 and in 2002, real GDP was $40,000,000. What was the country's economic growth rate from 2001 to 2002?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. Which of the following growth rates in Khandibar would cause the average income in Khandibar to exceed the average income in Fritolaysia in 100…arrow_forward

- GDP per capita in the United States was approximately $63,000 in 2020. Use the growth formula (see below) to answer the following questions: Growth formula: (future value) = (present value) × (1 + r)t present value = this year's GDP per capita future value = GDP per capita in the future r = rate of growth (in decimal form) per year What will GDP per capita be in the year 2025 if it grows each year by 2.5 percent?arrow_forwardI am looking for the formula to solve this problem: Suppose a country's real GDP per capita was $9,000 in 1990 and it grew to $18,000 by 2000. What is the annual growth rate of the country's real GDP per capita during this period?arrow_forwardBabylonia and Yuan had the same GDP of 20 billion dollars in 1950. Babylonia grew at 7% each year while Yuan grew at 5% each year. Both had the same initial value of physical and human capital and shared the same production function of Y=A*K^0.5*L^0.5 (both K and L have a degree of 0.5 or 1/2). a. After 70 years of the same growth rate of GDP, what was the GDP of each country? Calculate them using Rule of 70. Based on Yuan’s economic size, how many percent larger is Babylonia’s economy than Bahriya’s after 70 years (i.e, in 2020) b. If both countries had the same amount of labour and capital growth throughout the 70 years in Part a, what can explain the difference in GDP in 2020? Pick an example according to the production function and explain your logic. c. Can we call Babylonia a developed nation if their GDP per capita is highest in the world due to its incredible growth in the last 70 years? Briefly explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Based on article "Technology and economic growth: From Robert Solow to Paul Romer" by Rui Zhao, Solow mentioned, technology (At) and capital per unit of effective labor (Kt) have a significant influence on a country's ability to “catch-up” or “converge” to a steady-state level (K*). In brief define what it means by a steady-state level.arrow_forwardIn 1960, per-capita GDP in Japan was 1/3 of that in the UK. By 1990, Japan and the UK had equal GDP per capita. From 1960 to 1990, the UK per-capita GDP grew at an average rate of 2.2% per year. Calculate the average annual growth rate of per- capita GDP in Japan over the same time period.arrow_forwardFill in the third blank. Italy is a relatively rich country with per-capita GDP of $28,000. India is a relatively poor with per-capita GDP of only $3,500. However, India is growing rapidly at a growth rate of 5% per year. We want to find how many years it will take for India’s per capita GDP to equal Italy’s current per-capita GDP of $28,000. How many times must India's per-capita GDP double in order to reach Italy's per-capita GDP? India's per-capita GDP must double __________ times. Use the rule of 70 to find how many years it will take for India's per-capita GDP to double once at a 5% growth rate. Doubling time: ______________________ years How many years will it take for India to reach Italy’s current level of GDP per capita? It will take ________________ years for India to reach Italy's current level of GDP per capita.arrow_forward
