Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.30 Long Run Growth, Productivity, and Standards of Living skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A country wants a long-run growth package rather than a temporary stimulus. Which package best fits the standard?

ARestrictions on new firms, reduced training, and outdated equipment mandates

BOne-time rebates, price slogans, postponed maintenance, and closed schools

CResearch universities, competitive markets, reliable infrastructure, and skilled-worker pathways

DHigher nominal prices, fewer tools per worker, and weaker courts

Solution & Explanation:A strong long-run growth package raises productivity through ideas, competition, infrastructure, and human capital. The distractors either shift demand temporarily or weaken productive capacity.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A candidate policy package includes a higher minimum wage, more teacher training, clinic access, modern freight data systems, and anti-corruption enforcement. Which parts most directly target long-run productivity?

AOnly the wage rule, because wage levels alone create productivity

BOnly clinic access, because infrastructure and institutions never affect output

CNone of the package, because policy cannot influence productivity

DTeacher training, clinic access, freight systems, and anti-corruption enforcement

Solution & Explanation:Human capital, health, infrastructure, and institutions are direct productivity channels. Wage policy may affect incomes and incentives, but wages alone do not automatically raise output per hour.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the sustainability dashboard. Which policy best supports long-run living standards based on all indicators shown?

AStop all training because current output is still high

BInvest in water-efficient technology and worker training before resource depletion reduces output

CTreat resource depletion as irrelevant to future productivity

DExpand output by draining the aquifer faster and ignoring future production

Solution & Explanation:The dashboard shows current output growth alongside declining water reserves and weak training. Durable living standards require productivity gains that preserve key resources and human capital.
