Consider an economy that produces and consumes bread and automobiles. In the following table are data for two different years. Year 2000 2010 Price of an automobile $40,000 $50,000 Price of a loaf bread $20 $30 Number of auto-mobiles produced 100 cars 120 cars Number of loaves of bread produced 600,000 loaves 500,000 loaves Using the year 2000, compute the following statistics for each year: nominal GDP, real GDP, the implicit price deflator for GDP, and a fixed-weight price index such as CPI. How much have prices risen between year 2000 and year 2010? Compare answers given by Laspeyres and Passche price indices. Suppose you are a senior public servant writing a bill to index Social Security and pensions. That is your bill will adjust these benefits to offset changes in the cost of living. Will you use the GDP deflator or the CPI? Explain emphasis on questions 2 and 3 .
The magazine Women of China reported that Chinese women in big cities spent 63% of their income on consumer goods last year, up from a meagre 26% in 2007. Clothing accounted for the biggest chunk of that spending, at nearly 30%, followed by digital products such as cellphones and cameras (11%) and travel (10%). Chinese consumption as a whole grew faster than the overall economy in the first half of the year and is expected to reach 42% of GDP by 2020, up from the current 36%. Source: The Wall Street Journal, August 27, 2010 If the economy had been operating at a full employment equilibrium, (a) Describe the macroeconomic equilibrium after the rise in consumer spending.

In order to find 2016 GDP in chained 2017 dollars, you would need to compute all but one of the following. Which is unnecessary? Hints: (1) start by writing an equation to show how 2016 GDP is related to 2017 GDP (in chained 2017 dollars). If you are not sure how to do this, go back to the lecture slides or to the reading "Numerical Example of Chain Weighting." (2) in the answers below, the phrase "in constant [year] dollars" refers to a fixed-weight calculation. a) current-dollar GDP in 2017 b) 2017 GDP in constant 2016 dollars c) 2016 GDP in constant 2015 dollars d) current-dollar GDP in 2016 e) 2016 GDP in constant 2017 dollars
