104.Countries that start with very little physical capital will get a:
A. higher return from adding a unit of capital than a country that starts at a higher initial level will.
B. lower return from adding a unit of capital than a country that starts at a higher initial level will.
C. similar return from adding a unit of capital than a country that starts at a higher initial level will.
D. higher return from adding a unit of capital the more natural resources they possess.
105.The basic idea behind the convergence theory is:
A. that countries starting at low levels of will tend to grow at much faster rates than those starting with high levels of income.
B. each additional unit of capital provides larger gains when you're coming from behind.
C. also the basic idea behind the catch-up effect.
D. All of these are true.
106.The convergence theory predicts that:
A. even if countries differ in their rates of savings, population growth, and other features, they will still converge to the same growth rate, although not the same level of income.
B. countries that start out poor should initially grow faster than ones that start out rich, but will eventually slow to the same growth rate.
C. poor countries are not generally expected to sustain a high growth rate and surpass the existing rich countries.
D. All of these are predicted by the convergence theory.
107.According to convergence theory, countries that start out poor should initially grow:
A. faster than ones that start out rich, but will eventually slow to the same growth rate.
B. slower than ones that start out rich, but will eventually grow to the same growth rate.
C. faster than ones that start out rich, and will eventually surpass their level of income.
D. slower than ones that start out rich, and therefore will never reach a similar growth rate.
