Use the accompanying table to calculate the following statistics for Brazil:
Labour force
Labour-force participation rate
Unemployment rate
Adult Population (millions) 140
Unemployed (millions) 7
Employed (millions) 88

the GDP deflator and the CPI. The choice of which of these measures to use depends in
many cases on the specific question you are interested in. For each of the following
situations, explain whether the CPI or the GDP deflator is a more appropriate measure to use
and explain why the statistic is preferred.
(a) The government is interested in whether increases in defense spending are affecting the
price level. (50 words)
(b) An economic consulting firm is investigating the impact on the aggregate price level of
more computers and electronic technology used in production.
