You answer must relate to South African examples or atleast developing countries.
- What is the best way to measure the rate of economics growth? a. By the annual percentage change in nominal GDP O b. By the annual percentage change in nominal GDP per capita O c. O d. By the annual percentage change in real GDP By the annual percentage change in real GNP per capita Oe. None of the aboveTis question is not addressed in the chapter—and in fact is still debated amongeconomists—but it is interesting to think about: Why do you suppose growthin living standards was virtually nonexistent for thousands of years? Why didthis situation change in recent centuries?What is the largest contributing factor to human population growth during the 20th and 21st century? a decrease in birth rates an increase in death rates O a decrease in death rates O an increase in birth rates
- Some resource-rich countries have succeeded in converting resource wealth into longterm and equitable economic development, while many others have not. Naturalresources have played a fundamental role in the growth of several industrializedeconomies, including Germany and the United Kingdom, where coal and iron ore depositswere a precondition for the Industrial Revolution. The United States was the world’sleading mineral economy from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century and in thesame period became the world’s leader in manufacturing (van der Ploeg 2011). Morerecently, countries such as Botswana, Chile, and Norway have used abundant oil andmineral resources as the foundation for economic growth. However, in many othercountries, resource extraction appears to have undermined governance, fed corruptionand capital flight, and increased inequality.Required:(a) Discuss the main challenges posed by resource revenues; and(b) Discuss the special fiscal institutions and mechanisms…What do the growth accounting studies conclude are the determinants of growth? Which is more important, the determinants or how they am combined?An economy starts off with a GDP per capita of 5,000. How large will the GDP per capita be if it grows at an annual rate of 2 for 20 years? 2 for 40 years? 4 for 40 years? 6 for 40 years?
