  • As unrelated figures requiring no dates
  • As identical measurements of the past
Correct answer(s):
  • As distinct evidence with stated uncertainty

Correct answer(s):
  • The denominator includes people who are not employed

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
