You haven't said what the TIME PERIOD is during which these rates are observed.

Still, I feel like working on this one, so I'm going to assume that these birth and death rates refer to a period of ONE YEAR, and now I'll proceed to answer the question that I have invented.

If there are 10 births and 8 deaths per 1,000 EACH YEAR, then the population grows by exactly 2 per 1,000 people per year.  That's a growth rate of 0.2% per year.

In 1 year, the population grows by (1.002).  In ' X ' years, the population grows by a factor of (1.002)ˣ .

We want to know what ' x ' has to be in order for      (1.002)ˣ = 2  .

Take the log of each side:  x log(1.002) = log(2)

Divide each side by  log(1.002) :  x = log(2) / log(1.002)

x = (0.30103) / (0.0008677)

x = 346.92

<em>Doubling time = 346.92 years</em>

(At the end of 346 years, the population hasn't doubled yet, but they don't quite have to wait another full year. Mathematically it'll only be another 0.92 year = ~336 days.)

What role does comparative advantage play in trade and global markets?
wlad13 [49]
Countries would be able to increase their productivity for the services with comparative advantage. A country then can sell products they produce efficiently and also would buy from other nations the products that they cannot produce. The comparative advantage can lose if there are competitors operating in a low wage country.
