Overview 1. Why an economy’s total income equals its total expenditure or value added. 2. How gross domestic product (GDP) is defined and calculated. 3. Breakdown GDP into its four major components. 4. Distinguish between real and nominal GDP.
The Economy’s Income and Expenditure When judging whether the economy is doing well or poorly, it is natural to look at the total income that everyone in the economy is earning.
Gross Domestic Product •
•
Gross domestic product (GDP) is a measure of the income and expenditures of an economy. It is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.
The Measurement of GDP Output is valued at market prices. It records only the value of final goods, not intermediate goods (the value is counted only once). It includes goods and services currently produced, not transactions involving goods produced in the past. It measures the value of production within the geographic confines of country.
What Is and What Is Not Counted in GDP? GDP includes all items produced in the economy and sold legally in markets. -Non-Market Activities: GDP does not include items produced and consumed at home that never enter the marketplace. -Underground Activities: It does not include items produced and sold illicitly, such as illegal drugs, smuggling etc.
The Economy’s Income and Expenditure •
For an economy as a whole, income must equal expenditure because: ◆ Every
transaction has a buyer and a seller. ◆ Every rupee of spending by some buyer is a rupee of income for some seller.

3- Methods of Computing An Economy’s Income 1.
Resource Cost or Income Approach: Sum the total wages and profit paid by firms for resources (see the circular flow).

Value Added or Production Method Sum the value added at each stage of production process
1.
Expenditure Approach: Sum the total expenditures by households (from the top portion of the circular flow).

The Components of GDP 1. GDP (Y) is the sum of: – – – –
Consumption (C) Investment (I) Government Purchases (G) Net Exports (NX) or Exports minus Imports
Y = C + I + G + NX
The Four Components of GDP 1. Consumption (C): Is the spending by households on goods and services •
e.g. buying clothing, food, movie tickets
2. Investment (I): Is the purchases of capital equipment and structures, e.g. factory, houses, etc.
3. Government Purchases (G):Includes spending on goods and services by local, provincial and federal governments (e.g. roads, police, etc.). Does not include transfer payments, because it is not made in exchange for currently produced goods or services.
4. Net Exports (NX): Exports minus imports.
Real versus Nominal GDP 1. 2. 3.
GDP is the market value of the economy’s current production, referred to as Nominal GDP. Real GDP measures any given year’s total output in “constant” prices. An accurate view of the economy requires adjusting nominal to real GDP, using the GDP Price Deflator.
GDP Price Deflator 1. The GDP Price Deflator is a price index that uses a bundle of all final goods and services. –
It tells us the rise in nominal GDP that is attributable to a rise in prices.
1. Converting Nominal GDP to Real GDP: Real GDP200x =
(NominalGDP20xx ) RealGDP20xx = X 100 (GDPdeflator 20xx)
