Discussion Topic 1

There are a number of economic and non-economic factors that affect long-run economic growth of countries. Among these factors, roles of physical capital, human capital, technology, and natural resources in influencing long-run economic growth of aggregate output per capita are widely discussed. Governments also play their roles in promoting and sustaining long-run economic growth of countries.

Empirical studies indicate that natural resources no longer play the largest role in affecting long-run economic growth since some of the natural resource rich countries are much poorer than natural resource poor countries.

Based on your reading of Chapter 25, other course materials, and your knowledge and experience, analyze the following questions. 

·               What factors might contribute to a low or high growth rates in a country? Why do some poor countries experience higher growth rates than others when all face the same challenges?

·               Why resources are no longer the most important indicators of economic growth disparity among countries? Which other economic and non-economic factors do you think explain the reasons behind growth disparities among countries?

·               How can sustainable long-run economic growth be realized? What are the roles of the government in achieving sustainable long-run economic growth?

Discussion Topic 2

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. In other words, GDP measures continuous flow of money from households to firms and then back to households in the whole economy. (Refer to Chapter 24)

The trend of the GDP growth rates is the key indicator of macroeconomic fluctuations (business cycle), which include expansion, boom, contraction, and recession. Thus the real GDP is used to explain how well the overall economy of a country is performing whereas GDP per capita is used as a natural measure of the economic well-being of the average individual in a given country.

However, there are limitations (shortcomings) in using the GDP as a measure of national income as well as a measure of national welfare.

1.        What are the limitations of the GDP in measuring total output and national welfare? What products (services) are excluded from the GDP computation?

2.        Is the GDP measure underestimating or overestimating national production and total income in the economy? Why?

3.        What are the impacts of the shortcomings of the GDP as a measure of the national product and national welfare?
