Sample answer: Concept ? Economic Growth Rate
Economic growth is the increase in the amount of the goods and services produced by an economy over time. Typically the change in the production of goods and services in an economy is measured by the annual change of the Gross Domestic Product. So, we can define the Economic Growth Rate, as the annual percentage increase of the Gross Domestic Product. The economic growth rate is very important because it can serve as an indicator of how well an economy is doing year after year. An increase in the growth rate means, that relative to the previous year this particular economy is expanding faster. We can also use to rate of economic growth to compare one economy to another; this knowledge can help shape economic policy. For example, the average annual growth rate for the United States between 1990 and 2007 was 3.8% annually, but since then the annual growth slowed down, and was -3.5 in 2009 (The National Bureau of Economic Research [NBER], 2011). This deceleration of growth from positive to negative was a clear indicator that the production of goods and services in the U.S. economy was shrinking and this resulted in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 “The Stimulus Package” which is still distributing more $700 billion dollars of government funds in the form of contracts, grants, loans and tax breaks.
