How could Georgia crop output rise while its production value falls?

  • Prices and quantity both rise proportionally

  • The direction and causes of their relationship
  • Whether both reported growth
  • Whether the university has a location
Correct answer(s):
  • The direction and causes of their relationship

  • Some cargo is produced or consumed outside Georgia

Why is the gross value of goods through Savannah’s port different from Georgia value added?

  • Every cargo shipment is produced entirely in Savannah

  • Cargo value measures only dockworkers’ wages
Correct answer(s):
  • Cargo value includes production beyond local port services

Why is higher GDP per worker not direct proof of greater individual effort?

  • All industries use identical equipment
  • Capital intensity can affect output per worker
  • Industrial classification removes capital effects
  • Worker effort alone determines measured GDP
Correct answer(s):
  • Capital intensity can affect output per worker

Why is Georgia GDP per resident not the same as labor productivity?

  • The denominator includes people who are not employed
  • State GDP excludes all output by workers
