Cross-country comparisons of GDP per capita
typically use purchasing power parity equivalent
exchange rates, which are a measure of the long-run equilibrium value of an exchange rate. In fact, we used PPP equivalent exchange rates in this module. Why could use market exchange rates, which sometimes change dramatically in a short period of time, be misleading?
What are typical GDP patterns for a high-income
an economy like the United States in the long run and the short run?
Is it possible for GDP to rise while at the same time per capita GDP is falling? Is it possible for GDP to fall while per capita GDP is rising?
List some of the reasons why economists should
not consider GDP an effective measure of the standard of living in a country.
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鈥檚 world? Would your answer be the same for the 1970s?
