1. Find and present France economy's real GDP per capita, and how it has changed since 2000. This is reported by the World Bank using official exchange rates, in constant 2015 US dollars, as well as in PPP using constant 2017 international dollars, so compare the two as well as their growth rates. Calculate average growth rates by decade, and explain the major recessions that have affected each economy.
2. Find and present data from the World Bank on general government consumption, relative to GDP, and how it has changed since 2000. How has it changed during and after recessions?

(If the data is not available, search for other sources on the internet.) What do these tell you about France?
