Answers to all exercises in the book have been posted in the Fronter room
The last lecture (May 7.) will be held in Aud. 1 in Eilert Sundt's building.
Note that the last seminars (corresp. to seminar problem set 6) are next week, i.e. Apr. 23.-27. There will be no seminars in May.
The assignments that were not picked up at the lecture are available in the Department office on the 12th floor.
The compulsory assignment will be handed back during the lecture Monday 16. April. The results (pass/fail) will be available in the Fronter folder as of Monday morning. If you fail you will be granted a second attempt, and you will receive an email about this. The new assignment will be given to those who fail on Wednesday 18. April, with the deadline 25. April.
Compulsory assignment upload The compulsory assignment must be handed in through the folder called "Obligatorisk ?velsesoppgave" that you will find under the folder "Undervisning" in the left menu. Do not hand in the assignment through the Fronterroom for your seminar group, but in the "Fellesrom". The files (including declaration form and front page) that make up the compulsory paper should preferably be combined and handed in as a pdf-file. Convert the .doc-files into pdf-files and merge them. If you have trouble, you may ask at the student IT-helpdeskm, 2nd floor.
Re. the compulsory assignment, question 3(a) and (b): Please note that the reason that GDP per capita in Norway in PPP terms looks higher than GDP per capita in Norway in US$, is that the latter is measured in constant 2000 USD while PPP is measured in constant 2005 USD. Since there has been inflation in the US from 2000 to 2005, the PPP figures looks higher that the US$ figures for Norway, but this is only due to the differences in the dating of the dollar value. For this reason we included question 3(c), where the value of a PPP$ and the value of a US$ are measured at the same time (in 2010). Here you see that GDP per capita in PPP terms is lower than GDP per capita at the exchange rate for Norway, while the opposite is true for China, exactly as one would expect.
