Question 1: A critic commented: "Most of the argument of Guns, Germs, and Steel is devoted to proving the primacy throughout history of mid-altitude Eurasia, and within this region of Europe (supposed heir to the Fertile Crescent) and China. If the argument stopped there, we would have a sort of Eurasia-centrism, not Eurocentrism. But Diamond's purpose is to explain "the broadest patterns of history," and so he must answer this final question: Why did Europe, not Eurasia as a whole, or Europe and China in tandem, rise to become the dominant force in the world?" Comment on the implications of this question. Does Diamond answer this question satisfactorily?

Question 2:

Consider the Solow Model. Cobb-Douglas production function: Y = AKL A = 1; s=0.2; 8 = 0.05, n = 0, g = 0. Use the following information to fill in the table. Use two decimal places. Please show your work. Upload a pdf file or jpg file. Explain and show how you derived the values in each cell. Year k = K/L y = Y/L 1 c = C/L i = I/L Sk 2.2627 2 Infinity
