Data Assignment
(Due February 7 at noon in MyLS dropbox)
The data assignment is worth 15% of the course grade. You can work individually or in a team of two to three
students. If you work in a team, only one team member needs to submit the assignment in MyLS. You can choose
any statistical software to use. Please
- hand in one static PDF file in which you explain how the calculations are done and answer all the questions;
- submit one data file for each question which contains all the data used in that question;
- detailed calculations can be included in the individual data file for each question or handed in separately
depending on the software used; the goal is that TA and I can easily duplicate your results; - name your files starting with the last name(s) followed by the file description:
e.g., LastName(s)_
Data.xls, LastName(s)_
Answers.pdf, and LastName(s)_Calculation.do.
For students who work individually, include your full name and student number on the cover of the PDF file. For
students who work in teams, include the full names and student numbers of all team members on the cover of
the PDF file.

differences between U.S. and Canada. - Download the External Wealth of Nations database at EWN-dataset (10-31-2023). For each of the
following 25 countries (top 25 economies, ranked by GDP in current US$ in 2022; together they account

Switzerland, Poland, Argentina, Sweden, Norway, Belgium
answer the following questions.
1) Calculate the cumulative current account balances from the earliest date available to the latest date
available.
2) Find the change in the NIIP over the entire period. For NIIP use Net IIP excl gold as it has a longer
time series.
3) Calculate the cumulative valuation changes over the entire period.
4) Plot the change in the net foreign asset position against the cumulated current account balances.
5) Comment on whether cumulative current account balances represent a good measure of global
imbalances.
6) What is the quantitative importance of valuation changes for most countries in your sample? - Use the External Wealth of Nations database EWN-dataset (10-31-2023). For NIIP use Net IIP excl gold as
it has a longer time series.
Part A:
Recreate Figure 1.6 and Figure 1.8 with the 1970-2022 U.S. data.
Part B:
Exercise 1.15 in the tetbook. Use 1981-2022 data for China, P.R. (Mainland). - Visit Statistics Canada at https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=3610045401 and

2018Q1 – 2023Q3).

of 2023Q3.
2) Calculate the cumulative changes in the total asset position due to financial account transactions,
due to exchange rate changes, due to market price changes, and due to data revisions (i.e., all other
changes to position), respectively, over the entire sample period.

end of 2023Q3.
4) Calculate the cumulative changes in the total liability position due to financial account transactions,
