Consider a small island country whose only industry is printing. The following table presents information about this small economy in two different years.
Complete the table by calculating physical capital per worker and 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 | Labor Force | Physical Capital per Worker | Labor Hours | Output | Labor Productivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Printing presses) | (Workers) | (Printing presses) | (Hours) | (Books) | (Books per hour of labor) | |
| 2025 | 120 | 60 | _____________ | 3,000 | 21,000 | _______________ |
| 2026 | 400 | 100 | _____________ | 3,500 | 49,000 | _______________ |
Based on your calculations, (an increase or Decrease) in physical capital per worker from 2025 to 2026 is associated with (a In crease or decrease) in labor productivity from 2025 to 2026.
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 printing industry? Choose all that apply.
1. Subsidizing research and development of new printing technologies
