GDP Gap: the amount by which actual GDP falls short of potential GDP.
Okun's Law: for every 1% that the actual unemployment rat6e in which the actual unemployment excludes the actual rate at unemployment. A GDP gap of about 2%.
***************IMPORTANT EXAMPLE- In 2012 the unemployment rate for Mexico was 7.4% and the NRU was 6%******************
Rule of 70: It is used to determine how many years it will take for a value to double given a particular annual growth rate.
If you put $20,000 in the bank and it earns year interest of 7% how many years will it take your income to double.
70 divided
-------------
interest rate
In the problem above you would do 70/ 7 which will give you 10%
************ALWAYS DIVIDE BY 70****************
