Be sure to identify which country has absolute advantage (U.S. or other), the product, and data to support your claim. Tip: When considering absolute and comparative advantage, worker hours to produce one unit is a reflection of productivity.

Economic Growth Economic Growth Economic growth refers to an increase in the total output of an economy. Defined by some economists as the increase of real GDP per capita. The production possibility curve and the AD/AS graph show the combinations of output that can be produced if all society?s scarce resources are fully and efficiently employed. The more efficiently they are used the more growth an economy experiences. Economic Growth Human Capital Human capital is the economic value that an employee provides to an employer. The greater the human capital, the better the opportunity for economic growth. Labor Productivity Labor Productivity is the real output per hour of work.

Ecosystem Energetics Laws of Thermodynamics 1st ? Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one type to the other All energy in an ecosystem ultimately comes from the sun 2nd ? In any transfer of energy, energy is lost. Energy is constantly being lost to the environment as heat Primary Productivity Primary Productivity is the production of organic compounds from atmospheric or aquatic CO2, principally through the process of photosynthesis Plants use the product of photosynthesis in 2 ways 1. Plant structures such as proteins, cells, tissues (building the plant body) 2. Fuel for Respiration. This powers such processes as growth, transpiration, reproduction, etc. Gross primary productivity (GPP) ? total amount of energy from photosynthesis

Isaiah Bennett p.1 3/5/13 Ch.9 K.I 1 Economic Indicator of development United Nation selects one economic factor, two social factors, and one demographic factor that in the opinion of a international team The economic factor is gross domestic product (GDP) The social factor are the literacy rate and amount of education? The demographic factors life expectancy Gross Domestic Per Capita Average individual earns a much higher income in an MDX than in an LDC, Per capita income is a difficult figure to obtain in many countries, so to get a example of average incomes in various, geographers Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Is the value of the total output of goods and services produced in a country Types of Jobs

The function of an economy Economy ? the system that trying to solve the basic economics problems. There are different type of economy like household economy, local economy, the national economy, and the international economy. Economists distinguish three parts to the economics problems What, How and For whom. To solve the problems, allocating the scarce resources to people with unlimited wants, people will decide what to product to fulfil most of the needs and desire of people. There will be allocation in resource to different group of people in the society. People will also decide how to product, which we will discuss in the next few chapters like division of labour. People will organise the productions according to what the workers best at.
