In the lectures you learned that the growth rate of a variable from one period to the next is given by Yt - Yt-1 9y= Yt-1 where g, denotes the growth rate, y, the value of the variable y in period t, and yt-1 the value of the same variable in period t- 1. Very often we are dealing with growth over many periods, say 50 years, in which case the above formula is not helpful. In that case we use the following formula: Yt = Yo (1+9y), where yo is the value of the variable at the beginning of the period, y, is the value of the variable after t periods, and g, is the (constant) growth rate. Depending on what information is given, you can solve the formula for either yt, Yo, gy, or for t.
