The letter "K" is used even though capital begins with a "C" because "C" is commonly used to represent consumption.

GROWTH RATE: The percentage change in a variable from one year to the next. The growth rate, in effect, measures how much the variable is growing over time. In that economists (as well as regular human people) are quite interested in economic growth, progress, and a lessening of the scarcity problem, growth rates for different economic variables are closely scrutinized. Among the most important are: real gross domestic product, population, and per capita income. Growth rates are important not only for the analysis of long-run progress (economic growth, economic development), but also short-run instability (business cycles) See also | economic growth | living standard | scarcity | growth rate of production | demographic transition | economic development | business cycle |
