Suppose that an economy's labor productivity fell by 3 percent and its total worker-hours remained constant between year 1 and year 2. We could conclude that this economy's
1. real GDP declined.
2. capital stock increased.
3. production possibilities curve shifted outward.
4. actual production moved from one point to another on a fixed production possibilities curve.

Respuesta :

Answer: 1. real GDP declined.

Explanation:

If labor productivity fell yet the workforce did not increase, that means that for Years 1 and 2, workers were producing less than they were producing before because the same number of people were producing.

This means that the amount of goods produced in the country would reduce and therefore GDP would reduce as well as GDP is the amount of goods and services produced in a country. If labor productivity had fallen yet the work-hours had increased, the increase in worker hours would have made up for the loss of labor productivity.
