Answer to Question 1

China is not better off because of higher rates of growth of GDP. GDP is not a perfect measure of well-being. GDP is not adjusted for pollution or other negative effects of production. Certainly the rapid growth of GDP raises the standards of living of many in China. However, this comes at a cost of dirty air and water. According to the World Health Organization, seven of the ten most polluted cities in the world are in China. This pollution can result in negative health effects. The improvement in standards of living affect well-being in a positive manner, but the increased pollution has a negative effect on well-being. In addition, GDP per capita may be a better measure of standard of living rather than growth in GDP.

Answer to Question 2

B
