Calculate the average annual growth rates of the following countries below:
Country | 1980 | 2014 |
---|---|---|
United States | 29288 | 51958 |
Japan | 19147 | 35574 |
Mexico | 11954 | 15521 |
Indonesia | 2249 | 9797 |
How long will it take the countries above to double their GDPs?
We use the rule that future value = present value * (1 + rate of growth)^time
For example, average annual growth rate of Mexico is (15521/11954)^(1/(2014 - 1980)) - 1 = 0.77% per year
Doubling time = rule of 72
= 72/ growth rate
For Mexico, the doubling time for GDP = 72/0.77 = 94 years approximately.
The same for other countries is done below.
Country | 1980 | 2014 | Rule (FV = PV(1 + r)^n) | Average annual growth | Doubling Time (years) |
United States | 29288 | 51958 | (GDP 2014/GDP 1980)^(1/(2014-1980))-1 | 1.70 | 42.34 |
Japan | 19147 | 35574 | (GDP 2014/GDP 1980)^(2014-1980)-1 | 1.84 | 39.16 |
Mexico | 11954 | 15521 | (GDP 2014/GDP 1980)^(2014-1980)-1 | 0.77 | 93.39 |
Indonesia | 2249 | 9797 | (GDP 2014/GDP 1980)^(2014-1980)-1 | 4.42 | 16.28 |

Question 3 3. As discussed in Chapter 10, real GDP per capita in the United States grew from about $6,000 in 1900 to $50,010 in 2014, which represents an average annual growth rate of 1.9%. If the US economy continues to grow at this rate, how many years will it take for real GDP per capita to double from the 2014 number? If the economic growth rate was 2.2 rather than the historic 1.99 how many years will it take...
