Question 20 Revisit Later Q. "The National Statistical Office, which is under the Union Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation, has released its estimates for gross domestic product (GDP) in the first quarter (Q1) of this fiscal year, 2022-23. The headline is that GDP at constant prices in the first quarter showed 13.5 per cent growth year on year. This is a deceptively high level, given the base effect." The following options are given to explain why this number is deceptively high. i. Most expectations were for quarterly GDP growth in the 15-16 per cent range year on year. ii. Given the base effect, the growth rate of 13.5 percent is in fact a clear disappointment. iii. It needs to be remembered that the equivalent quarter of the previous year, April-June 2021, was when the devastating second wave of the coronavirus epidemic was raging through the country. iv. Even though there was no national lockdown as draconian as that observed during the first wave in 2020, activity…

This case study focuses on the Australian economy in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. On 4th September 2019, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) published Real GDP data for the quarter ending June, 2019. (The reporting of GDP always lags by about 2 months as it takes time to collect and compile data). The data showed that the Australian economy recorded a quarterly growth of 0.5%. However, there was a decrease in Real GDP per capita. Furthermore, Real GDP per capita in June 2019 was lower than it was a year before (June 2018). Overall, while Real GDP still increased, the growth was very weak; the weakest on record since March 2001. (Source: Australian Financial Review and The Guardian). Required: Question 1. Clearly explain what Real GDP per capita means.Clearly explain why Real GDP per capita decreased whereas there was still growth in Real GDP for the quarter ending June 2019. Question 2. Given the economic conditions described above, predict how the following key…

Household spending by all UK households amounted to over £500 billion in 1997, or 63% of gross domestic product. This level of expenditure is very closely related to conditions in the country's macro-economic environment. For marketers, it is crucial to be able to read the macro-economic environment and to predict the effects of change in demand for their goods and services. Identifying turning points in the economic cycle has become a work of art as well as science, as consumers frequently confound experts by changing their expenditure levels in a way which could not have been predicted on the basis of past experience. During the Autumn of 1998, mortgage rates in the UK were falling; unemployment was close to its lowest level for two decades; pay rises were keeping ahead of inflation; and share prices were recovering from their recent falls. Yet expenditure by British households was falling sharply. For three consecutive months retail sales fell in value, with retailers such as Marks…
Hi please assist with this 1.3 questions 1.3-1.5.South Africa’s economy grew by 1.1% in the first quarter of the yearStats SA has published the latest gross domestic product (GDP) data covering the first quarter of the year, showing that the economy grew by 1.1% in the first three months of 2021.The growth follows a revised 1.4% rise in real GDP in the fourth quarter of 2020. On an annualised basis, the economy grew 4.6% quarter-on-quarter.Following confusion caused by the annualisation of GDP data in 2020 – amid the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns – Stats SA said it would no longer use the annualised data as the headline GDP statistic.During periods of steady economic growth, annualising is a useful way of expressing quarter-on-quarter performance in annual terms, Stats SA said. However, during periods of economic instability, annualising can be misleading, because it exaggerates growth rates that are unlikely to be repeated.The central problem that is evident in the above…
Economic variables are sometimes divided into “leading indicators” and “lagging indicators.” Leading indicators are variables that start to change before an economic expansion or contraction. Lagging indicators change only when an expansion or contraction is well underway. Based on the graph of the unemployment rate, is unemployment a leading or lagging indicator of recessions? Explain. How can we use this information when providing advice to a company that sells goods to consumers?
The following graph approximates business cycles in the United States from the first quarter of 1955 to the third quarter of 1959. The vertical blue bar coincides with a period of six or more months of declining real gross domestic product (real GDP). Notice that real GDP trends upward over time but experiences ups and downs in the short run. A period of increasing real GDP is known as a __________ (options: bust, business cycle, boom).
