Explanation of Solution

Income tax is the amount paid as a tax to the federal government or state government levied every year.

The income taxes can be compared across the nations based on the most important aspect that is the high-income nation or low-income nation. This is so because the taxes should be compared at equal levels to get the appropriate results.

For example, Country U’s corporate income tax can be compared with high-income nations as it follows progressive tax system rather than the low-income nations.

The economic activity of a country is often quantified as the gross domestic product (GDP), which is the sum of private and government consumption, investments, and net exports (the value of exports minus the value of imports). For a developed country such as the United States, economists might see a GDP growth rate of 3% a year as reasonable. However, production and consumption create some pollution. By how much would pollution per dollar of GDP have to decline for pollution levels 50 years from now to be the same as current levels, assuming a 3% annual growth rate of GDP? In 75 years? In 100 years? (Hint: Let the current pollution level be 1 and find out what the future pollution level would be).
