Constant GDP per Capita Analysis

Project Overview

A MATLAB-based time-series analysis of constant GDP per capita for five major economies — the United States, Italy, Germany, Spain, and France — spanning 1970 to 2022. The project explores long-run economic growth trends, cross-country comparisons, descriptive statistics, and confidence intervals to understand structural differences in economic performance over five decades.

Methodology

Data

Constant GDP per capita data (inflation-adjusted, base year USD) sourced from the World Bank for all five countries over the 1970–2022 period.

Analysis Steps

• Time-Series Visualization — Line plots of GDP per capita trends for all 5 countries
• Descriptive Statistics — Mean, median, standard deviation, min/max per country
• Confidence Intervals — 95% confidence intervals for mean GDP per capita estimates
• Cross-Country Comparison — Relative growth rates and structural divergence analysis
