B: Requirements
1- Pick any country of your interest and search for the following six variables from years 2000 to 2018. Make sure all of the data are in the same unit (either millions, billions or trillions). If the data sources are giving you different units, please convert them all to be in the same one unit. If you don’t know how to convert from say millions to billions or vice versa, Ask google. It should be easy. (10 Points)
GDP
Consumption spending

In addition to google search, here is a link for some data sources, you can use any other additional sources that you like.
2- Graph Each variable in the variable data page. (10 Points)
Ask excel to graph the variable for you. If you don’t know how to graph it, watch a YouTube video.
On the vertical axis you can put the variable and on the horizontal axis you will put the years.
3- In the second page (for the variable) write a report about the variable in three points (30 Points)
A- What is the variable: Define it.
B. How it changed across the 18 years? Increased? Decreased? Increased then decreased? ….etc.
C. Why you think it changed the way it did.
This “Why” Part is the MOST IMPORTANT part of the whole project. Dedicate at least two paragraphs to elaborate on it. Be aware that 60% of the grade of this project will be on this part. You Collected the data, graphed it and described it and did all this work in order to be able to explain WHY this variable changed the way it did. Be analytical, be creative and generous.
