- 5 Question This question is supposed to familiarize you with the calculation of growth over multiple periods. 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. Now turn to the actual problem: The poorest countries in the world currently have an annual per capita income of about $600. We can reasonably assume that it is nearly impossible to live on an income…arrow_forward1. What is this time series g raphing? 2. What is the base year for this time series? 3.
