Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 93, University of Cape Town (Commerce), course: Quantitative Methods for Economists, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to analyse the relationship between unemployment rate and economic growth in the United States of America (US) which can be explained by the Okun’s law.
