Without looking at Table 6.7, return to Figure 6.10. If we define a recession as a significant decline in national

Fig. 6.10

Using data from Table 6.5 how much of the nominal GDP growth from 1980 to 1990 was real GDP and how much was inflation?

Should people typically pay more attention to their
real income or their nominal income? If you choose the latter, why would that make sense in today’s world? Would your answer be the same for the 1970s?
According to Table 6.7, how often have recessions occurred since the end of World War II (1945)?
Ethiopia has a GDP of \(8 billion (measured in U.S.
dollars) and a population of 55 million. Costa Rica has a GDP of \)9 billion (measured in U.S. dollars) and a population of 4 million. Calculate the per capita GDP for each country and identify which one is higher.
