Would you expect capital deepening to result in diminished returns? Why or why not? Would you expect improvements in technology to result in diminished returns? Why or why not?
Education seems to be important for human capital deepening. As people become better educated and more knowledgeable, are there limits to how much additional benefit more education can provide? Why or why not?
Over the past 50 years, many countries have experienced an annual growth rate in real GDP per capital greater than that of the United States. Some examples are China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Does that mean the United States is regressing relative to other countries? Does that mean these countries will eventually overtake the United States in terms of the growth rate of real GDP per capital? Explain.
How did the Industrial Revolution increase the economic growth rate and income levels in the United States?
Would the following events usually lead to capital deepening? Why or why not? a. A weak economy in which businesses become reluctant to make long-term investments in physical capital. b. A rise in intermational trade. c. A trend in which many more adults participate in continuing education courses through their employers and at colleges and universities.
