Question 3
3. As discussed in Chapter 10, real GDP per capita in the United States grew from about $6,000 in 1900 to $50,010 in 2014, which represents an average annual growth rate of 1.9%. If the US economy continues to grow at this rate, how many years will it take for real GDP per capita to double from the 2014 number? If the economic growth rate was 2.2 rather than the historic 1.99 how many years will it take...

3. GDP trend and cycle: See Table 2 which shows UK real GDP per capita. Suppose that the economy was at its trend in 2003. Suppose also that trend growth is one percent per year. Calculate the cycle using the formula Cycle = log (GDP)-log (Trend) In which years was the economy below trend? In which years was the economy above trend? What units is the cycle measured in? What year was the economy furthest above trend? In what year...

Recall the method of calculating real GDP detailed in the chapter. As you may already have noticed, this method has a problem: in calculating aggregate output, this method weights the output of the various goods and services by their relative prices in the base year. Say, for example, a textbook costs $100 in the base year, and a laptop costs $2,000. This means that the laptop would have 20 times the weight of a book in calculating aggregate output. But...

2. Download the annual real GDP and GDP data of the United States 1950-2018 from FRED. For the real GDP, the data online is chain-weighted and uses 2012 as the base year. In the lecture hursday, I showed you the detailed method and calculated the new chain-weighted real GDP when 1990 is the base year. You are required to calculate a new sequence of chain- weighted real GDP given a new base-year. The base year you should use in your...
