问题如下:
2. Based upon Exhibit 1, capital deepening as a source of growth was most important for:
选项:
A.Country A.
B.Country B.
C.Country C.
解释:
A is correct.
The associate economist can measure the effect of pure capital deepening by measuring the difference of the growth rates of labor productivity and total factor productivity (TFP). The larger the difference, the more important capital deepening is as a source of economic growth. From 2000–2010, Country A’s labor productivity grew by 2.4% per year, of which 0.6% came from TFP growth and 1.8% from capital deepening (2.4% – 0.6% = 1.8%).
考点:Cobb-Douglas production function 的变形公式
解析:先写出变形公式:
一国人均产出也就是劳动效率的增加来自于两个方面:资本深化以及技术的进步
Growth rate of labor productivity= Growth rate of TFP+ Growth rate of capital deepening(假设劳动力恒定不变)
capital deepening%=△y/y-△T/T
最后计算结果是A国的数值最高(2.4% – 0.6% = 1.8%).这就表明A国对于资本深化最依赖,资本深化对于该国经济增长的贡献最大。
老师好,解释里有一句话是The larger the difference, the more important capital deepening is as a source of economic growth.
不太理解判断资本深化的影响,为什么是根据不同国家之间资本深化growth rate值的绝对大小对比,不是比较资本深化和技术进步两种增长率中谁的比例更大?
