Which one(s) is true? (a) If an economy can raise its annual real GDP growth rate from 3.8 percent to 4.5 percent, its real GDP doubling time is reduced by 15 years. (b) Suppose that the government passes a law requiring households to increase savings by 10% above previous levels. According to Solow's growth theory, in the long run, output per capita will grow less rapidly. (c) If an economy has a real GDP doubling time of 48 years, this will be increased to 56 years if annual GDP growth is reduced by 3.2 percentage points. (d) If K = 3000, n = 0.02, and depreciation, δ = 0.04 and g = 0.03, then investment of 320 will hold (K/AL) constant.
