Download in your computer the Excel attached above called National Accounts.
Copy the last column of the IMF chart in the rows at the top. (You can click on the website on the “Export” link on the top menu, and copy the data).
Once you have copied the data of the six countries in the Excel file, copy the bar graph into your research. The bars reflect the components of the GDP equation: consumption, investments, government expenditure, and net exports.
The information you will obtain corresponds to the National Income equation:
Y = C + I + G + (X – M).
Where:
Y = Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
C = Household Consumption Expenditure (Private Consumption)
I = Gross Fixed Capital Formation (Gross Fixed Capital Formation or national investment)
G = Government Consumption Expenditure
X = Exports of Goods and Services X = Exports of Goods and Services
M = Imports of Goods and Services (Imports of Goods and Services)
(X – M) = Balance of Trade Balance

1. Compare the six countries, analyze what the differences are, and what your conclusions are regarding the policies of these countries and the social results.

Has real GDP increased or decreased over time? Can you identify some of the economic cycles?
7. Based on 4 and 5, can you say that the current account deficit is detrimental to U.S. economic growth? Why?
In your response, you must demonstrate your knowledge of chapter 24 of the textbook, especially: Chapter 24-3. The Components of GDP, 24-3a. Consumption, 24-3b. Investment, 24-3c. Government Purchases, 24-3d. Net Exports
