1.The following table contains per capita real GDP for 11 countries for the years 1950 and 2014. Compare a selected group of country’s GDP as compared to Argentina. Are there any “unusual” observations you can make about the data? Based on your knowledge of the countries, discuss some possible explanations of why some countries do better than others. Next, calculate the average real GDP growth rate for each country. I would recommend copying and pasting in a spreadsheet to calculate the groMh grades. Use 65 years as t. Briefly discuss your conclusions.
