Extracted text: Suppose we focus on two countries, EUnited and Chindiạ. If Chindia has a per capita GDP shortfall (relative to EUnited) of 20%, and that gap diminishes by 2% per annum, how long will it be before Chindia's per capita GDP level is within 1% of EUnited's? * Hint: in one year the gap will be 0.98*20 = 19.6% NOT 18%!
