  1. Comparison of GDP among u.s.a and china Matt Mullens Gulsah Gunenc Alex Keyfes Gaoyuan Tian Andrew Booth

  2. Preview of Coming Attractions(Outline) • Motivation • Background • Data sources • Models • Model Validations • Results • Conclusions • Questions

  3. Motivation • We wanted to first off see what a forecast of the United States GDP will be for the rest of the year • Thought it was relevant given current economic state • We also wanted to compare the GDP of two dissimilar countries • Compared USA and China

  4. Background • The US is considered to be a long established industrialized country • China is considered to be an emerging or developing nation • We figured that the US and China models would be different.

  5. Data Source: USA • USA data gathered from: • http://www.bea.gov/national/index.htm#gdp

  6. Data Source: China • Chinese data gathered from: • http://www.stats.gov.cn/eNgliSH/statisticaldata/Quarterlydata/

  7. Models:Main US GDP Model • Quarterly data from 1947 first quarter -2009 first quarter

  8. Models:Main US GDP Model • Pre-Whitening Process • Needed to be logged and first differenced

  9. Models:Main US GDP Model • Model Validation • As seen from the correlogram more work is needed

  10. Models:Main US GDP Model • Final ARMA model

  11. Models:Main US GDP Model • Model Validation

  12. Models:Main US GDP Model • More Model Validation • Actual, Fitted, Residuals

  13. Forecast of US Model • Forecast for the rest of 2009

  14. Forecast of US Model • Recoloring of GDP • Recoloring: • Lngdpf=lngdp (2009:1 2009:1) • lngdpf=lngdpf(-1)+dlngdpf (2009:2 2009:4) • gdpf=exp(lngdpf) (2009:2 2009:4)

  15. Results • Possible Forecast Bias • Long time period upward trend • According to our model it will increase, only time will tell

  16. A Closer Look • Examine just the past few years in an attempt to eliminate upward time trend

  17. Model:US Short Term • Data had linear trend • Needed first difference

  18. Model:US Short Term • Model Validation • Looking at the correlogram more work was needed • Try ARMA model

  19. Model:US Short Term • Final ARMA Model

  20. Model:US Short Term • Model Validation • A much better looking model • High P-values for Q-stats

  21. Forecast (US Short Term) • Forecast of the rest of 2009

  22. Forecast (US Short Term) • Recoloring of the model

  23. Results • A better estimation as the long time upward trend is less of a bias • Due to economic changes over the past decades a data set that includes only more recent data is more accurate for forecasting • More relevant to current economy • Reflects current issues without previous bias

  24. China Model • Looking at the past few years of China’s GDP • Highly seasonal due to large economic dependence on seasonal agriculture of 900 million farmers

  25. China Model • Pre-Whitening • Needed both log and seasonal differencing • Also used from 1998-2008 and first differenced

  26. China Model • Model Validation • Correlogram • Needs some work • Try ARMA model

  27. Final ARMA Model

  28. Model Validation • A much better looking model • High P-values for Q-stats • Appears valid

  29. Forecast (China) • Rest of 2009

  30. Forecast (China) • Recoloring Model

  31. Results • China continues with an increasing seasonal trend • This can be accounted for by the large agriculture economy in China

  32. Conclusions • Not surprising that USA and China did not have similar models • USA historic leading economy • China is a recent world economy • Long term upward trends indicate USA economy will improve • Shorter term model is less generous

  33. Fin • Any Questions? • anyone • Any Comments? • anyone
