in Doepke’s book. First of all we need to compute the growth rate of real GDP for each period: we will create new variable GRATET it shows us the economic growth in period t. GRATEt=RGDPt+1RGDPt Now we are supposed to apply a method called exponential smoothing (which is described in our Textbook) to get smooth versions of our data: GRATESM1=GRATE1‚ GRATESMt=0.5*GRATEt-1+0.5*GRATESMt-1 for t>1 Now we should apply the same method to real GDP‚ but additionally we will use the smooth growth

20th anniversary of Earth Day 2. Explain the primary concern over exponential population growth. What promotes exponential population growth? What constrains exponential population growth? Population concern is about the balance between human needs and the resources available to meet those needs‚ now‚ and the future. Population has a constant birth rate through time and is never limited by food or disease‚ it has‚ exponential growth the birth rate alone controls how the population grows. 3

accurately as possible‚ the population and wheat requirements in Punjab province for the year 2010-11. For this purpose a time series data regarding population‚ wheat production and wheat requirements were collected from the National statistics. An exponential smoothing model specific for forecasting was applied. Different weights ranging from 0.3-0.9 were given to the past data to get the precise estimates. Results revealed that a quantity of 7.55 million tons wheat will be surplus in Punjab as the total

Math Summative: Fishing Rods Fishing Rods A fishing rod requires guides for the line so that it does not tangle and so that the line casts easily and efficiently. In this task‚ you will develop a mathematical model for the placement of line guides on a fishing rod. The Diagram shows a fishing rod with eight guides‚ plus a guide at the tip of the rod. Leo has a fishing rod with overall length 230 cm. The table shown below gives the distances for each of the line guides from the tip of

QUEUING THEORY INTRODUCTION Waiting lines are the most frequently encountered problems in everyday life. For example‚ queue at a cafeteria‚ library‚ bank‚ etc. Common to all of these cases are the arrivals of objects requiring service and the attendant delays when the service mechanism is busy. Waiting lines cannot be eliminated completely‚ but suitable techniques can be used to reduce the waiting time of an object in the system. A long waiting line may result in loss of customers to an organization
