Question

Complete the table by calculating physical capital per worker as well as labor productivity. Hint: Recall that productivity is defined as the amount of goods and services a worker can produce per hour. In this problem, measure productivity as the quantity of goods per hour of labor. | Year | Physical Capital (Looms) | Labor Force (Workers) | Physical Capital per Worker (Looms) | Labor Hours (Hours) | Output (Tapestries) | Labor Productivity (Tapestries per hour of labor) | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 2027 | 120 | 60 | | 3,000 | 21,000 | | | 2028 | 400 | 100 | | 3,500 | 49,000 | | Based on your calculations, [Dropdown] in physical capital per worker from 2027 to 2028 is associated with [Dropdown] in labor productivity from 2027 to 2028. Suppose you're in charge of establishing economic policy for this small island country. Which of the following policies would lead to greater productivity in the weaving industry? Check all that apply. [ ] Imposing a tax on looms [x] Encouraging saving by allowing workers to set aside a portion of their earnings in tax-free retirement accounts [ ] Sharply increasing the interest rate on student loans to people pursuing advanced degrees in weaving [ ] Subsidizing research and development into new weaving technologies
