Explanation:

A country with a relatively low level of real GDP per person is considering adopting two policies to promote economic growth.The first is to increase barriers to trade.The second is to restrict foreign portfolio investment.Which of these policies would most economist think would promote growth

One of the main statistical indicators used to measure the economic evolution of a country is the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In the macroeconomic analysis of any State, the interpretation of this value is essential to know the degree of economic development and its trends.

The weak growth of productivity in many advanced and emerging market economies after the international financial crisis is raising concerns about growth prospects. A new study indicates that reducing barriers to international trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) could stimulate productivity and output.

The entry of portfolio investment into the country is associated with the yield and risk differentials of the country abroad. This means that a change in the perception of country risk is not necessary. Rather, they need to change in relation to existing alternatives in other countries. Therefore, significant movements in this area do not necessarily reflect a change in the state of the country's economy, however, they can have important repercussions on the exchange rate and other fundamental variables of the financial markets.
