Assignment details

Question 1

Data collection, presentation and analysis

The economic crisis in Greece has been in the news lately, as it looked likely to default

on its debt. For this part of the assignment you will be collecting, presenting and

analysing economic data for Australia, Germany, Greece and an Asian country of your

choice.

Using The World Bank website (under Data), collect and present annual data showing:

GDP per capita (in constant 2005 US$); the GDP annual percentage growth rate; the

annual percentage inflation rate (using the GDP deflator figures); and the total

unemployment rate, for each of the four countries, for the years 2005 --‐2016 (for some

countries data may only be available up to 2013, in which case data from 2005 – 2013

is acceptable).

Present the data initially in tables. You may decide how many tables to use, and which

variables/countries to include in each table. Each table must be numbered and have a

clear heading/title indicating its contents, and a reference for the source of the data

under the table.

Use the data to construct the following graphs, using the graphing tool (line graphs) in

Excel. Indicate under each graph which table/s the data came from. Make sure you

also label each axis and each variable, and give your graph a title.

Figure 1: GDP per capita for all four countries

Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5: One figure for each country, with the GDP growth, inflation and

unemployment rates for that country.

Figure 6: GDP growth and unemployment rates for all four countries.

Note: Please do not attach the excel file with your assignment. You need to use

copy/paste functions to transfer your graphs to the word document containing your

assignment.

(15 points)

Question 2 (no more than 1500 words)

Using Figures 2 – 6, describe and analyse any general relationship you see between

the three variables in each of the countries. Is the relationship similar in each of the

countries? On the basis of the data collected, analyse any similarities and differences

in the performance of the economies. Refer to the data you have collected to support

your analysis.

Question 3 (no more than 500 words)

Go to the OECD Better Life index www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org, and look at the country

reports for Australia, Germany and Greece. What are the “life satisfaction scores” for

each country? Using the factors measured in each country’s report, as well as the data

you found in Question 1, comment on factors you believe may contribute to each

country’s “life satisfaction” score. Include four factors per country. Explain your

reasoning.
