For this hypothetical economy, calculate for both years:

a. Nominal GDP.

b. By v\hat percentage does nominal GDP change from 2014 to 2015?
c Real GDP in constant 2014 euros (i.e. 2014 is the base year).

d By what percentage does real GDP change from 2014 to 2015?

e. Compute the GDP deflator (for both years)

I". The rate of inflation from 2014 to 2015.

2. You are provided with the following information about the economy. There are 300 million working
age civilian individuals in the economy. Of these 300 million, 150 million are currently working, 20
million are looking for work, 30 million stopped looking for work 2 months ago, and the remaining
100 million do not want to work

a Calculate the labour force for this economy
b The unemployment rate
c The participation rate

3. Economy is characterized by following behavioural equations (in M EUR):

Z=C+I+G C = 300 + 0.75Yu 1 = 300

V -Y-I G=200 T = 200

Consider only goods market where interest rale and prices do not appear in the model. Solve for
