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.
10. The (real) GDP per capita in Belgium (in €) is provided for several years in the table below: year GDP 2010 33 509.07 2011 33 641.30 2012 33 443.71 2013 33 259.76 2014 33 728.14 2015 34 028.24 2016 34 209.76 a. Let us denote GDP in year t by Yt. Determine the percentage change for each year using the formula rt = Y-Y-1. Compare the results to the log-returns In (). 1 b. You are also given that Y1990 = 25 039.06. Again compare the percentage change over the period 1990-2016 with the corresponding log-return. There are several reasons why percentage changes are often approximated by log-returns. One of the reasons is that the logarithm has nice mathematical properties. For example: log-returns allow for easier time aggregation as is illustrated in parts c. and d. below. c. Show that the percentage change Y2016-Y2013 over the three-year period from 2013 to 2016 equals (1+r2016) (1+r2015)(1+r2014) - 1. d. Show that the log-return In (Y2016) for the same period is simply the sum of the…
