Question 26 Which one of the following is an incorrect statement about the effect of US natural capital on market growth? O New York City has a large harbor along a major river, the Hudson. With the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825, the locational advantages of New York were enormous. Between 1790 and 1850, New York's population increased from 33,000 to over 800,000. O h the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, land abundance and avalability promoted low rates of population growth through natural increase because it discouraged high birth rates and fostered relatively high mortality rate. O In 1900, the twenty largest American cities were all located on major waterways. Before Colorado entered the Union in 1876, all U.S. states had at least one border delineated by rivers or oceans. O Many cities in the United States formed at obstacles to water navigation, where continued transport required overland hauling or portage. Portage sites attracted commerce and supporting services, and…

Consider the economies of Tralfamadore and Sporon, both of which produce agricultural products using only land and labour. The following tables show the supply of land, population size, and real GDP for these two economies from 2020 to 2023. Complete the last column of the following two tables by calculating real GDP per capita for the two economies. Tralfamadore Land Real GDP (Dollars) Real GDP per Capita (Dollars) Year (Hectares) Population 2020 20,000 500 4,500 2021 20,000 1,000 10,000 2022 20,000 1,500 16,500 2023 20,000 2,000 24,000 Sporon Land Real GDP Real GDP per Capita (Dollars) Year (Hectares) Population (Dollars) 2020 20,000 1,000 15,000 2021 20,000 2,000 28,000 2022 20,000 3,000 36,000 2023 20,000 4,000 40,000 Rapid population growth tends to threaten economic growth in economies with higher or lower land-labour ratios.

1. Over the period from B.C. 10,000 to A.D. 1, the world population is estimated to have increased from 4 million to 170 million, while the level of income per capita was constant over time. Assuming that the quantities of human and physical capital per worker did not change, and that the exponent on land in the production function is one-third, calculate the growth rate in productivity over this period. What was the annual growth rate of productivity, A?
Question Approximately how long will it take Ethiopia to double its real GDF per person of S100 if its growth rate of real GDP per person is 0.9 63 years 77.7 years 70 years 109 years 100 years If Country A's real GDP grows at a rate of 14 percent per year, how many years will it take for Country A's real GDP to double? 10 7 5 30 14 Labor productivity is defined as total real GDP. real GDP per person. total output multiplied by total hours of labor. real GDP per hour of labor. hours of work per person. An increase in labor productivity increases the standard of living. decreases the standard of living. might be the result of an increase in the quantity of labor. generally occurs when physical capital decreases because firms must then hire more workers. cannot occur without a corresponding increase in employment. Last year, in a nation far to the South, real GDP was $90 million 900.000 workers were employed. This year real GDP is $100 million. 950.000 workers are…

Please explain 5 factors that might contribute to rising U.S. GDP growth rates. d.Explain in detail, what we could do to cause each of the 5 factors to happen and cause our GDP growth rate to increase.
11. The table below shows the average income per person in two countries in 1900 and their subsequent growth rates. Country Argentina Growth rate from 1900 to 2010 Income per person in 1900 $2756 $2758 1.03% Canada 2.19% The growth rates are only slightly different so maybe we should expect that they end up with similar, but not identical final incomes but they didn't. What was the absolute value of the difference in their incomes per person in 2010?
