Which economy began with a level of real income per person in 1960 that was below that of Finland and grew fast enough to catch up with and surpass Finland’s real income per person by 2010?

1. Economic growth around the world
The following table reports real income per person for several different economies in the years 1960 and 2010. It also gives each economy’s average annual growth rate during this period. For example, real income per person in the Central African Republic was $1,010 in 1960, and it actually declined to $628 by 2010. The Central African Republic’s average annual growth rate during this period was -0.95%, and it was the poorest economy in the table in the year 2010.
The real income-per-person figures are denominated in U.S. dollars with a base year of 2005. The following exercises will help you to understand the different growth experiences of these economies.

2. The determinants of productivity
Consider a simple economy whose only industry is fishing. In this industry, productivity—the amount of goods and services a worker can produce per hour—is measured by the number of fish one fisherman catches per hour.
In the following table, match each example to the productivity determinant it represents.
Examples
Human Capital per Worker
Natural Resources per Worker
Physical Capital per Worker
Technological Knowledge
The boats in the fishing fleet The fertile waters in which the fish feed and breed The skills workers develop through training before working on and piloting boats An advanced mapping system that determines the likelihood of finding fish schools in different depths and locations

3. The catch-up effect
Consider the economies of Hermes and Tralfamadore, both of which produce gaggles of gop using only tools and workers. Suppose that, during the course of 30 years, the level of physical capital per worker rises by 4 tools per worker in each economy, but the size of each labor force remains the same.
Complete the following tables by entering productivity (in terms of output per worker) for each economy in 2018 and 2048.
Year
Hermes
Physical Capital
Labor Force
Output
Productivity
(Tools per worker)
(Workers)
(Gaggles of gop)
(Gaggles per worker)
2018 7 30 3,000 2048 11 30 3,600
Year
Tralfamadore
Physical Capital
Labor Force
Output
Productivity
(Tools per worker)
(Workers)
(Gaggles of gop)
(Gaggles per worker)
2018 4 30 2,400 2048 8 30 3,600
Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Tralfamadore. From 2018 to 2048, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a amount than productivity in Tralfamadore. This illustrates the effect.

Homework (Ch 12) Macroeconomic

Can you explain why those beliefs are subject to doubt?

Reading from your Exploring Philosophy textbook “Meditations on the First Philosophy”, First Meditation, Rene
Descartes:
Meditations on the First Philosophy”, Second Meditation, Rene Descartes
In Meditation 1, Descartes engages in the method of doubt. He examines all of his beliefs, and rejects any belief
that may be false. If it is possible to doubt the truth of a belief, he gets rid of it. The goal is to be left with only those
beliefs that are absolutely certain. In Meditation 2, Descartes continues doubting all of his beliefs, but he reaches a
conclusion about the one thing he cannot doubt and about which he is absolutely certain.
Which of the beliefs does Descartes question in Meditation 1? Can you explain why those beliefs are subject to
doubt? What is he certain about in Meditation 2, the one belief he can be sure is true?

Identify and analyze symbolic objects in the play.

Argument/Persuasion with Drama
Research Essay Assignment Sheet
Task:
You will write a research paper analyzing a literary element from ONE of the following plays:
Trifles by Susan Glaspell
POOF! by Lynn Nottage.
Read/listen to the plays first, review the course content, then begin your research and drafting.
Submit a research proposal before writing your essay.
Use the basic outline provided as the skeleton for your essay.
Criteria:
To address the task, choose only ONE prompt below – don’t mix and match. (You don’t have to answer all the questions; they are just there to get you thinking.)
Identify and analyze symbolic objects in the play.
What larger meaning do they represent? What should the reader learn from these symbols? What do you think the author was trying to convey?
Explore and analyze the irony of the situation.
Argue how the play’s title, circumstances, clues, etc. are ironic by citing specific actions/decisions that were carried out — perhaps you’ll focus on what might be found as evidence in an investigation.
Analyze the setting.
How does the setting contribute to the main character(s)’ situation? Why might the author have made these choices as the foundation for where the story takes place?
Analyze the theme of freedom (or lack thereof) in the play.
What happens to the characters to restrict freedom or to give it back? What choices do the characters make to ensure their personal freedom?
Research: find and integrate, using the library databases, four secondary sources of literary criticism to support your own arguments/analysis of the play.
Body paragraphs need to be about theme, characterization, plot, symbol, etc.
Body paragraphs should not be paragraph 1=source 1, paragraph 2=source 2
Paragraphs should not be controlled by the research material.
Notes on Research: As you’re researching, you may find articles that simply summarize the play. These are not appropriate for use in an extended essay like this one. You need to find articles that analyze the play.
(Also, Susan Glaspell wrote a short story called “A Jury of Her Peers” that has nearly the same content. You may use source material based on the story, but understand that there may be differences in presentation between the play and the short story.)
You may obtain additional sources from the databases, books/ebooks, journals, or reliable websites (do not use general references like Wikipedia, encyclopedias, etc.). The Explicator is a journal that summarizes, not analyzes, so don’t use that as a source.
Purpose:
Meeting several course objectives (from the syllabus)
Thinking critically
Forming a coherent analysis
Crafting a valid argument
Supporting stance/claims with credible evidence from primary and secondary sources
Conducting scholarly research
Utilizing resources, practicing search techniques
Drafting, revising, editing/proofreading, and refining one’s writing

Checklist: Does your essay have…

body paragraphs that equally cite quotes from the play and quotes from your research?
body paragraphs with clear topic and concluding sentences that directly relate back to the thesis?
four secondary sources cited within the essay – at least two of which are from the library’s databases?
at least 70% of the writing that is your words and thoughts, not source material.
a formed and defended a clear message for your reader. Don’t “ride the fence.” Take a clear stance.
a polished “appearance?”
Avoid first and second person pronouns.
Avoid contractions.
Avoid unanswered rhetorical questions.
a creative title
in-text citations: each quote (from the play and research) is appropriately introduced and cited afterward.

an MLA header (your name, my name, the course title, and the paper’s due date), top right: your last name, insert page numbers
Double-spacing
12-point Times New Roman font
One-inch margins (Don’t bother adjusting these, your computer should automatically be set here.)
a Works Cited page in MLA format
a minimum of 1000 words.
Remember, there is no upper limit, but make sure your paper is focused and concise.
Note: any plagiarized material will cause you to fail the course. If you are unsure of a source, how to cite a source, how to use a source, or how to set up with Works Cited page, ask me! There is no penalty for asking questions.
