Answer to Question 1

The statement is false. Factors other than real GDP per person affect economic welfare. For instance, factors such as household production, underground production, leisure time, and environmental quality all affect economic welfare and all are omitted from real GDP per person. Although real GDP per person is an important factor in determining a country's economic welfare, it is not the only factor.

Answer to Question 2

A
