Question

Question 1

Real GDP per person in Northland is
$30,000, while real GDP in Southland is $10,000. However, Northland’s real GDP
per person is growing at 1 percent per year and Southland’s is growing at 3
percent per year. If these growth rates persist indefinitely, then

Answer

Northland’s real GDP per person will
decline until it equals Southland’s.
Northland’s real GDP per person will
always be greater than Southland’s.
Southland’s real GDP per person will
always be the same as Northland’s.

80 and k will decrease towards the steady state per capita capital stock.
replacement investment is 80, saving is
80 and k is at the steady state per capita capital stock.
