5. Suppose economies A and B have the same initial level of GDP per capita at $15,000, and each economy begins with a constant growth rate of 1 percent per year. (Neither country has good institutions for economic growth at first.) Then Country A enters an era of political stability, establishes property rights, and installs incentives for entrepreneurship. Country A's economic growth rate consequently improves to 5 percent. Assuming population growth rates remain unaffected, how much longer will it take Country B to double its per capita GDP level compared to Country A? (If your answer is 5 year, please enter 5)

56

Explanation:

The rule of 70 can be used to determine the amount of years it would take the GDP of a country to double given its growth rate

Number o year for GDP to double = 70 / growth rate of country

for country A = 70 / 5 = 14 years

for country B = 70 / 1 = 70 years

70 years - 14 years = 56 years

simpleton is the answer, this is simpleton work

rational decision making is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. the process of rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. the word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.
