- This question pertains to correctly calculating total investment as a percent of GDP for a country across multiple years with different amounts of investment per year and different GDPs per year. I've seen 2 methods to calculate the total investment as a percent of GDP for 1 country. First, for each year, calculate investment as a percent of GDP for each year then sum those percentages. Second, sum all investments and sum all GDP across years and then divide sum of investments over sum of GDP. What is the correct method to calculate total investments across multiple years for 1 country when each year has a different GDP?arrow_forwardCross 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 use PPP equivalent exchange rates in this model why could using this market exchange rate which sometimes change direct dramatically in a short period of time be misleadingarrow_forwardThe US and Peru are the only countries in the world and they both produce cars and haircuts.
