Given below is the the real GDP and potential GDP for the fictitious country "Alpha." a. Use the date to determine the the year-to-year growth rates of real GDP, the output gap as a percentage of potential GDP and state whether the gap is a recessionary gap or an expansionary gap. Instructions: Enter your responses as a percentage rounded to two decimal places. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. Year Real GDP Potential GDP Real GDP growth Output gap Type of gap 2005 $17,500 $17,300 % (Click to select) expansionary recessionary 2006 $18,200 $17,800 % % (Click to select) expansionary recessionary 2007 $18,500 $18,300 % % (Click to select) recessionary expansionary 2008 $18,400 $18,800 % % (Click to select) expansionary recessionary 2009 $18,200 $19,300 % % (Click to select) recessionary expansionary 2010 $18,600 $19,700 % % (Click to select) recessionary…
Suppose that the annual rates of growth of real GDP of Econoland over a five-year period were sequentially as follows: 3 percent, 1 percent, -2 percent, 4 percent, and 5 percent. What was the average of these growth rates in Econoland over these 5 years? What term would economists use to describe what happened in year 3?
The long run macroeconomic performance of an economy can be reflectedfrom the changes of her major macroeconomic indicators. With appropriateinterpretations of the changes to these indicators, one can identify the inherentstructural features of an economy, and hence, identify her strengths andweaknesses. In about 250 words, write a short essay on ONE economy from the list below:i. Singapore;ii. The United Kingdom;iii. The United States.In your essay, describe the changes of major macroeconomic indicators fromthe last decade. Using them to illustrate major structural features of the choseneconomy. Based on the above, identify ONE inherent problem implied bythese structural features that might limit her macroeconomic performance inthe long run. Suggest ONE practical government policy in dealing with thisinherent problem.
Without looking at Table 19.7, return to Figure 19.10. If we define a recession as a significant decline in national output, can you identify any post-1960 recessions in addition to the 20082009 recession? (This requires a judgment call.)
Linear stages theory, Structural-change model (Lewis two-sector model), International dependence/dominance model, Neoclassical model How do the contemporary models differ from the previous models? Coordination failures ComplementarityWhy do these models emphasize multiple equilibria and what does it mean?What problems may prevent economy from moving from a bad equilibrium to a stable one?Need to understand that graphWhat are the big push and O-ring theories (important to have a broad or general understanding ofthe two theories?)
So far, we have learned to measure real GDP, but how do we end up with that real GDP? Of all of the different amountsof national income and price levels that might exist, how do we gravitate toward the one that gets measured each year asreal GDP?In short, it is the interaction of the buyers and producers of all output that determines both the national income (real GDP)and the price level. In other words, the intersection of aggregate demand (AD) and short-run aggregate supply (SRAS)determines the short-run equilibrium output and price level.Once we have a short-run equilibrium output, we can then compare it to the full employment output to figure out where inthe business cycle we are. If current real GDP is less than full employment output, an economy is in a recession. If currentreal GDP is higher than full employment output, an economy is experiencing a boom. If the current output is equal to thefull-employment output, then we say that the economy is in long-run equilibrium. The…
Answer the below questionsa. What do you understand by Real GDP? What is the Real GDP Growth Rate of India and China in 2019? What is the estimated real GDP growth rate of India and China in 2020? What is the projected real GDP growth rate of India and China in 2020 and 2022?b. What is the estimated 2022 GDP Loss (in percentage) in comparison to pre-covid levels (January 2020 forecast) in China and Other Emerging Economies in Asia other thanChina?
If all quantities produced rise by 5 percent and allprices fall by 5 percent, which of the following bestdescribes what occurs?a. Real GDP rises by 5 percent, while nominalGDP falls by 5 percent.b. Real GDP rises by 5 percent, while nominalGDP is unchanged.c. Real GDP is unchanged, while nominal GDP risesby 5 percent.d. Real GDP is unchanged, while nominal GDP fallsby 5 percent.
I have to analyze, using the IS-LM model, the macroeconomiceffects of an increase in savings in the short term and its implications for long-term growth. Specifically, I have to suppose that households (consumers) lose confidence and start saving more for any level of disposable income. Can you plase answer the following question (using graphs too): In terms of total savings and, therefore, of potential long-term growth, is a flat LM curve or a positive sloping LM curve better?
Suppose that the annual rates of growth of real GDP of Econoland over a five-year period were sequentially as follows: 3 percent, 1 percent, −2 percent, 4 percent, and 5 percent. What was the average of these growth rates in Econoland over these five years? What term would economists use to describe what happened in year 3? If the growth rate in year 3 had been a positive 2 percent rather than a negative 2 percent, what would have been the average growth rate?
Give an example of a consumption good and an example of an investment good. Explain why the two are different, as a macroeconomist would think of them differently. Also, explain why investment is important for the long term health of an economy.
China’s real GDP increased 6.9 percent in the first quarter of 2017 from a year earlier.Investment grew by 9.2 percent and retail sales by 10.9 percent. In current prices, GDPincreased by 11.8 percent from a year earlier.1. Explain how China’s real GDP can grow at a 6.9 percent rate when consumption andinvestment grew faster than 6.9 percent. 2. Explain why the growth rate of GDP in current prices does not provide informationabout how quickly the economy is really growing.
