Consider the following data on real GDP per capita in

Consider the following data on real GDP per capita in the United States:
Year U.S. Real GDP Per Capita (2005 dollars)
1950 ............. $13,244
1960 ............. $15,773
1970 ............. $20,994
1980 ............. $25,752
1990 ............. $32,275
2000 ............. $39,744
2002 ............. $40,063
2003 ............. $40,703
2004 ............. $41,707
2005 ............. $42,572
2006 ............. $43,282
2007 ............. $43,785
2008 ............. $43,287
2009 ............. $41,377
2010 ............. $42,311
2011 ............. $42,733
(a) Calculate the percentage growth rates in real GDP per capita in each of the years 2003
through 2011, from the previous year.
(b) Now, instead of calculating the annual percentage growth rates in the years 2003 through
2011 directly, use as an approximation 100 × (ln yt – ln yt–1), where yt is real per capita GDP in
year t. How close does this approximation come to the actual growth rates you calculated in part
(a)?
(c) Repeat parts (a) and (b), but now calculate the percentage rates of growth in real per capita
GDP from 1950 to 1960, from 1960 to 1970, from 1970 to 1980, from 1980 to 1990, and from
1990 to 2000. In this case, how large an error do you make by approximating the growth rate by
the change in the natural log? Why is there a difference here relative to parts (a) and (b)?
