You are discussing economic growth and the economic cycle with a group of colleagues in an effort to forecast the growth in an economy that is demonstrating an increase in investment, rising employment, and growing business confidence with slowly rising prices. Your discussion has encompassed the distinction between GDP and GNP and the importance of leading indicators for forecasting purposes. Based on this information, answer the following three questions. In national income accounting, what is the difference between gross domestic product (GDP) and gross national product (GNP)?
GNP equals GDP plus domestic production/earnings by foreign companies/citizens ,minus foreign production/earnings by domestic companies/citizens
GNP equals GDP plus foreign production/earnings by domestic companies/citizens, minus domestic production/earnings by foreign companies/citizens GNP equals GDP plus imports minus exports GNP equals GDP minus government spending minus exports plus imports.
Read the following extract and answer questions?South Africa’s economy grew by 1.1% in the first quarter of the year Stats SA has published the latest gross domestic product (GDP) data covering the first quarter of the year, showing that the economy grew by 1.1% in the first three months of 2021.The growth follows a revised 1.4% rise in real GDP in the fourth quarter of 2020. On an annualised basis, theeconomy grew 4.6% quarter-on-quarter. Following confusion caused by the annualisation of GDP data in 2020 – amid the Covid-19 pandemic andresulting lockdowns – Stats SA said it would no longer use the annualised data as the headline GDP statistic. During periods of steady economic growth, annualising is a useful way of expressing quarter-on-quarterperformance in annual terms, Stats SA said. However, during periods of economic instability, annualising can be misleading, because it exaggerates growth rates that are unlikely to be repeated.

Plot the five data points for each country on a graph using a nonproportional scale, as in Exhibit 7.3 in the chapter. Connect the points to create a line graph.
Plot the five data points for each country on a graph using a proportional scale, that is, a scale where equal distances represent equal percentage changes. Connect the points to create a line graph.

It also gives each economy's average annual growth rate during this period. For example, real income per person in Niger was $945 in 1960, and it actually declined to $570 by 2010. Niger's average annual growth rate during this period was -1.01%, and it was the poorest economy in the table in the year 2010. The real income-per-person figures are denominated in U.S. dollars with a base year of 2005. The following exercises will help you to understand the different growth experiences of these economies.

All else equal, it is better for a nation to produce more goods and services than fewer. Quality of life factors such as healthcare, leisure, protection of the the environment, and stress, are not important, and therefore there is no need to develop a broader, more inclusive, measure of well-being than the GDP. When GDP turns negative, the damage is real: jobs lost, businesses closed, productive capacity turned idle.arrow_forward
