Consider a small island country whose only industry is fishing. The following table shows information about the small economy in two different years.
Complete the table by calculating physical capital per worker as well as 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
(Fishing poles) (Workers) (Fishing poles) (Hours) (Fish) (Fish per hour of labor)
2013 300 100 5,000 45,000
2014 480 120 4,200 50,400
Based on your calculations, physical capital per worker from 2013 to 2014 is associated with labor productivity from 2013 to 2014. 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 weaving industry?
a. Subsidizing research and development into new weaving technologies
b. Imposing restrictions on foreign ownership of domestic capital
c. Imposing a tax on looms
