Gross Domestic Product Explain how net exports affect the US economy. Describe both positive and negative impacts on GDP. Why do national income accountants use net exports to compute GDP, rather than simply adding exports to the other expenditure components of GDP? You have the following information on 3 countries: Soccerland, Handeggland, and Neverland How long will it take until Soccerland’s GDP increases by 75%? How long will it take until Soccerland and Handeggland have the same GDP? Soccerland’s population is not happy that, eventually, Handeggland is going to have higher GDP than their country. They feel that they are a much better country, so they are going to work harder to ensure that Handeggland will never catch up with Soccerland. If Soccerland’s new growth rate is constant every year, what is the minimum growth rate that ensures that Soccerland will always have a higher GDP than Handeggland? Neverland’s ambition is to host the World Cup. At the…
