65. Is it possible for a country with a relatively large GDP to have a relatively small per-capita GDP?
Yes, since the country with a relatively large GDP could also have a relatively large population.
No, since countries with a relatively large GDP (such as the United States and Japan) also have a relatively
high per-capita GDP.
Yes, but only under the condition that the country “produces” relatively more “bads” than other countries.
Yes, since government transfer payments may be exorbitantly high in the country with the relatively high
GDP.
There is not enough information to answer this question.
