Answer:
B. between China and Russia or between Canada and the United States, because household production, the underground economy, leisure hours, and the environment are similar in each pair
Explanation:
The standard of living can be easily compared ______. A. between China and Canada because they have a similar land size B. between China and Russia or between Canada and the United States, because household production, the underground economy, leisure hours, and the environment are similar in each pair C. among none of the four countries because they are too different D. between Russia and the United States because they are both super powers E. among all four countries because real GDP per person includes a reliable measure of income, household production, the underground economy, leisure hours, and the environment
Real Per capita GDP measures the standard of living of the people in a country. The higher the Real Per capita GDP, the higher the standard of living
Real Per capita GDP = Real GDP / population
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
some items are not perfectly measured by GDP. They include
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
Because GDP does not measure underground economy (illegal activities) , leisure , it would be difficult to compare either pair of countries
