Anyone Else Still Believe There's Some Size Advantage To Economic Growth Rates?

Believe it or not some moron spent all day adding up 216 growth rates
to get a 5.3%% unweighted average to compare with the 5.2%% world growth
rate.

Look at the table:

That's all you need.

No need to make it difficult.

If there are about as many countries below the world growth rate as
above, then there's no size advantage for a country to have a higher
growth rate.

The growth rate of a large or small country does _not_ depend on its
size.

And _no_ a 2%% variance doesn't mean jack.

The high tax Clinton economic boom would more than have wiped that
out.

As I pointed out before, it took about 5 seconds. What took most of a
day was for you to grasp it. But I guess being called a moron by
someone who talks about "average mean", and calculates a median by
adding the values and dividing by the count is actually quite a
compliment.
