Based on GDP alone, which country has the better prospects for long-run economic growth? Justify your answer, being sure to connect current GDP to future economic growth. Based on GDP per capita alone, which country has the better prospects for long-run economic growth? Justify your answer, being sure to connect current GDP per capita to future economic growth. Based on the unemployment rate alone, which country has the better prospects for long-run economic growth? Justify your answer, being sure to connect current unemployment to future economic growth. Based on the inflation rate alone, which country has the better prospects for long-run economic growth? Justify your answer, being sure to connect current inflation to future economic growth. Based on budget decit or surplus alone, which country has the better prospects for long-run economic growth? Justify your answer, being sure to connect the current budget deficit or surplus to future economic growth. Based on tax rates alone, which country has the better prospects for long-run economic growth? Justify your answer, being sure to connect current tax rates to future economic growth. Based on the savings rate alone, which country has the better prospects for long-run economic growth? Justify your answer, being sure to connect the current savings rate to future economic growth. Based on the interest rate alone, which country has the better prospects for long-run economic growth? Justify your answer, being sure to connect the current interest rate to future economic growth. Now let's put it all together. Based on all this information which country seems better poised for LONG RUN ECONOMIC GROWTH (or are they equally set for long-run economic growth}? That is, which country would you expect to experience greater economic growth in the near future? Justify your answer. As part ofyour justification, explain which of these items is likely to have the biggest impact on economic growth (that is, which of these items are more important than the others?) 5. Consider three types of tax system: Progressive Income Tax; Flat Income Tax: and National Sales Tax with no Income Tax. Rank these in order from \"best for long-run economic growth" to \"worst for economic growth\" Then justify and explain your answer. As part of yourjustification and explanation, your answer will identify the relevant characteristics of each tax system. Your justification will also explain how each of these tax systems affects long-run economic growth in terms of Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply. That is, how does each of these tax systems affect Aggregate Demand or Aggregate Supply in such a way that leads to long-run economic growth? Your justication and explanation count for all the points on this question (that is, there is no \"correct\" ranking.)
