Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.48 Global Challenges Environment, Technology, Migration, and Growth skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A final review item lists four challenges: cross-border pollution, low clean-tech adoption, labor shortages from aging, and weak productivity growth. Which pairing is most economically sound?

APrice ceilings for pollution, bans on technology, closed labor markets, and weaker property rights

BNo policy for any challenge because markets always solve cross-border spillovers instantly

CA single import tariff for every challenge regardless of cause

DPollution agreement, technology-diffusion support, regulated migration channels, and productivity-focused institutions

Solution & Explanation:Each challenge requires a tool matched to its economic cause: externalities, spillovers, labor mismatch, and long-run productivity constraints.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A government closes high-emission plants quickly. Emissions fall, but one region loses jobs and its tax base. Which policy best reflects a just-transition approach?

AIgnore affected regions because emissions fell nationally

BPair emissions policy with regional reinvestment, wage insurance, retraining, and local revenue support

CCut schools and training in the affected region

DKeep high-emission plants open forever with no transition plan

Solution & Explanation:A just transition addresses environmental goals and concentrated adjustment costs. Regional reinvestment and worker support reduce unequal burdens.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A development program can fund either a prestige stadium or a package of girls' secondary education, rural roads, and transparent procurement systems. Which choice best fits sustainable growth economics?

AThe stadium because visible projects always create the highest productivity

BNeither option because public investment never affects growth

COnly the road spending if procurement is made less transparent

DThe education, roads, and procurement package because it raises human capital, market access, and institutional quality

Solution & Explanation:Sustainable growth depends on productive capacity and institutions. Human capital, infrastructure, and transparent procurement are more directly tied to broad productivity gains.
