Second-quarter GDP jumps 4.1% for best pace in nearly four years

[Toddsterpatriot]

Bullshit. Why are you lying to the forum?

It’s not bullshit just because you’re a moron.

The sum of real annual GDP from 2010-2016 was 15.2. Divided by 7 is: 2.2

Real annual GDP for 2017: 2.2

https://www.bea.gov/national/xls/gdpchg.xlsx

The sum of real annual GDP from 2010-2016 was 15.2.

You're not very good at this.

Oh? Do you have different math that shows a different sum?

Do you have different math that shows a different sum?

That's your mistake.

There’s no mistake. The average was dividing the sum of those years by the number of those years. Something you should have learned in second grade.

.... assuming you graduated from second grade.

The average was dividing the sum of those years by the number of those years.

Using your simplistic average, which scenario gives the largest ending GDP?

10% growth each year for 3 years.

0% growth for 1 year, 15% growth for the next 2 years.

0% growth for 2 years, 30% growth for the third year.

Yes, adding up percentage changes and dividing was your mistake.
Percentage changes should be multiplied. Then you'd need to find the 7th root.
It's a little beyond second grade, which must explain why it's new to you.

Who the fuck applies a geometric mean to average annual GDP growth??

Here, check this out ... even investopedia is laughing at you...

Average Annual Growth Rate (AAGR)

The AAGR is calculated as the sum of each year's growth rate divided by the number of years

Who the fuck applies a geometric mean to average annual GDP growth??

Nobody....well, maybe you would, because you're a moron.

Thanks for the link.

The average annual growth rate is useful for showing trends; however, it can be misleading to analysts because it does not accurately depict changing financials. In some instances, it can overestimate the growth of an investment. For example, consider an end-of-year value for year 5 of $100,000. The percentage growth rate for year 5 is -50%. The resulting AAGR would be 5.2%; however, it is evident from the beginning value of year 1 and the ending value of year 5, the performance yields a 0% return.

Too bad you didn't understand it.

Try this one. Idiot.

Compound Annual Growth Rate - CAGR

A CAGR is something different entirely and not at all what you suggested, which is actually a geometric mean.

CAGR = (Ending value / Beginning value) (1/number of years) - 1

Don’t you ever get tired of making a fool of yourself in front of everyone??

The geometric mean of the growth rate is calculated as ((1+0.1)*(1-0.2)*(1+0.3))^(1/3) - 1 = 0.046 or 4.6% annually.

Mean

The simple mathematical average of a set of two or more numbers. The mean for a given set of numbers can be computed with the arithmetic mean method, which uses the sum of the numbers in the series, and the geometric mean method.

Growth Rates Example
The geometric mean is used in finance to calculate average growth rates and is referred to as the compounded annual growth rate. Consider a stock that grows by 10% in year one, declines by 20% in year two and then grows by 30% in year three. The geometric mean of the growth rate is calculated as ((1+0.1)*(1-0.2)*(1+0.3))^(1/3) - 1 = 0.046 or 4.6% annually.

What are some examples of applications of the geometric mean?

Still funny.

Take it up with investopedia...

Who the fuck applies a geometric mean to average annual GDP growth??

Nobody....well, maybe you would, because you're a moron.

Thanks for the link.

The average annual growth rate is useful for showing trends; however, it can be misleading to analysts because it does not accurately depict changing financials. In some instances, it can overestimate the growth of an investment. For example, consider an end-of-year value for year 5 of $100,000. The percentage growth rate for year 5 is -50%. The resulting AAGR would be 5.2%; however, it is evident from the beginning value of year 1 and the ending value of year 5, the performance yields a 0% return.

Too bad you didn't understand it.

Try this one. Idiot.

Compound Annual Growth Rate - CAGR

A CAGR is something different entirely and not at all what you suggested, which is actually a geometric mean.

CAGR = (Ending value / Beginning value) (1/number of years) - 1

Don’t you ever get tired of making a fool of yourself in front of everyone??

A CAGR is something different entirely and not at all what you suggested,

GDP compounds, idiot. That's why adding together and dividing is less accurate.

Take it up with investopedia — but wait until they stop laughing at you.

You didn't provide beginning and ending GDP numbers. DURR.

Why would I? I was talking about an average of annualized growth.

We’re talking about GDP

BREAKING DOWN 'Average Annual Growth Rate (AAGR)'
The average annual growth rate is used in many fields of study. For example, in economics, it is used to provide a better picture of the changes in economic activity (e.g. growth rate in real GDP).

And why would I post the mean and not the average when I was responding to this...?

The average GDP during the Obama years was 1.7%.

And why would I post the mean and not the average when I was responding to this...?

When you get a chance, post all the differences between mean and average.

Nah, not necessary as your refusal to answer actually answers for you.

When you're looking at GDP growth over several years, to get an average...…

The sum of real annual GDP from 2010-2016 was 15.2. Divided by 7 is: 2.2

Your method is less accurate.

Now, back to your differences between mean and average. LOL!
