  1. I have data on the GDP per capita of Iran from 1980-2015 in constant national currency. How can I convert each year’s GDP per capita to US dollars? (Base year is 2004). Thanks!

  2. What, if any, is the relationship between GDP per capita and a country’s average wage. The two numbers are often weirdly similar, i.e., the Gdp per cap. of Russia is 14,xxxUSD, the average wage of a Moscowite is 12 to 15,XXXUSD.

    thanks!

  4. Indicate and explain if the statement is true or false.
    “Because Coke and Pepsi are substitutes, a decrease in the price of Pepsi will cause the demand for Coke to decrease. This initial shift in demand for Coke results in a lower price for Coke; this lower price will cause the demand curve for Coke to shift to the left.”
