MACROECONOMICS

Copyright © 2004
South-Western 2323Measuring a Nation’s Income
3.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western Measuring a Nation’s Income • Microeconomics • Microeconomics is the study of how individual households and firms make decisions and how they interact with one another in markets. • Macroeconomics • Macroeconomics is the study of the economy as a whole. • Its goal is to explain the economic changes that affect many households, firms, and markets at once.
4.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western Measuring a Nation’s Income • Macroeconomics answers questions like the following: • Why is average income high in some countries and low in others? • Why do prices rise rapidly in some time periods while they are more stable in others? • Why do production and employment expand in some years and contract in others?
5.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western 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.
6.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western 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 dollar of spending by some buyer is a dollar of income for some seller.
7.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western THE MEASUREMENT OF 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.
8.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western THE MEASUREMENT OF GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT • The equality of income and expenditure can be illustrated with the circular-flow diagram.
9.
Figure 1 The
Circular-Flow Diagram Spending Goods and services bought Revenue Goods and services sold Labor, land, and capital Income = Flow of inputs and outputs = Flow of dollars Factors of production Wages, rent, and profit FIRMS •Produce and sell goods and services •Hire and use factors of production •Buy and consume goods and services •Own and sell factors of production HOUSEHOLDS •Households sell •Firms buy MARKETS FOR FACTORS OF PRODUCTION •Firms sell •Households buy MARKETS FOR GOODS AND SERVICES Copyright © 2004 South-Western
10.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western THE MEASUREMENT OF GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT • GDP is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.
11.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western THE MEASUREMENT OF GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT • “GDP is the Market Value . . .” • Output is valued at market prices. • “. . . Of All Final . . .” • It records only the value of final goods, not intermediate goods (the value is counted only once). • “. . . Goods and Services . . . “ • It includes both tangible goods (food, clothing, cars) and intangible services (haircuts, housecleaning, doctor visits).
12.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western THE MEASUREMENT OF GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT • “. . . Produced . . .” • It includes goods and services currently produced, not transactions involving goods produced in the past. • “ . . . Within a Country . . .” • It measures the value of production within the geographic confines of a country.
13.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western THE MEASUREMENT OF GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT • “. . . In a Given Period of Time.” • It measures the value of production that takes place within a specific interval of time, usually a year or a quarter (three months).
14.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western THE COMPONENTS OF GDP • GDP includes all items produced in the economy and sold legally in markets.
15.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western THE COMPONENTS OF GDP • What Is Not Counted in GDP? • GDP excludes most items that are produced and consumed at home and that never enter the marketplace. • It excludes items produced and sold illicitly, such as illegal drugs.
16.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western THE COMPONENTS OF GDP • GDP (Y) is the sum of the following: • Consumption (C) • Investment (I) • Government Purchases (G) • Net Exports (NX) Y = C + I + G + NX
17.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western THE COMPONENTS OF GDP • Consumption (C): • The spending by households on goods and services, with the exception of purchases of new housing. • Investment (I): • The spending on capital equipment, inventories, and structures, including new housing.
18.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western THE COMPONENTS OF GDP • Government Purchases (G): • The spending on goods and services by local, state, and federal governments. • Does not include transfer payments because they are not made in exchange for currently produced goods or services. • Net Exports (NX): • Exports minus imports.

South-Western REAL VERSUS NOMINAL GDP • Nominal GDP values the production of goods and services at current prices. • Real GDP values the production of goods and services at constant prices.
22.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western REAL VERSUS NOMINAL GDP • An accurate view of the economy requires adjusting nominal to real GDP by using the GDP deflator.

Table 2 Real
and Nominal GDP Copyright©2004 South-Western
25.
Table 2 Real
and Nominal GDP Copyright©2004 South-Western
26.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western The GDP Deflator • The GDP deflator is a measure of the price level calculated as the ratio of nominal GDP to real GDP times 100. • It tells us the rise in nominal GDP that is attributable to a rise in prices rather than a rise in the quantities produced.
27.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western The GDP Deflator • The GDP deflator is calculated as follows: G D P d e f l a t o r = N o m i n a l G D P R e a l G D P × 1 0 0
28.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western The GDP Deflator • Converting Nominal GDP to Real GDP • Nominal GDP is converted to real GDP as follows: R e a l G D P N o m i n a l G D P G D P d e f l a t o r 2 0 X X 2 0 X X 2 0 X X = × 1 0 0

South-Western GDP AND ECONOMIC WELL- BEING • GDP is the best single measure of the economic well-being of a society. • GDP per person tells us the income and expenditure of the average person in the economy.
32.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western GDP AND ECONOMIC WELL- BEING • Higher GDP per person indicates a higher standard of living. • GDP is not a perfect measure of the happiness or quality of life, however.
33.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western GDP AND ECONOMIC WELL-BEING • Some things that contribute to well-being are not included in GDP. • The value of leisure. • The value of a clean environment. • The value of almost all activity that takes place outside of markets, such as the value of the time parents spend with their children and the value of volunteer work.
34.
Table 3 GDP,
Life Expectancy, and Literacy Copyright©2004 South-Western
35.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western Summary • Because every transaction has a buyer and a seller, the total expenditure in the economy must equal the total income in the economy. • Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures an economy’s total expenditure on newly produced goods and services and the total income earned from the production of these goods and services.
36.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western Summary • GDP is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. • GDP is divided among four components of expenditure: consumption, investment, government purchases, and net exports.
37.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western Summary • Nominal GDP uses current prices to value the economy’s production. Real GDP uses constant base-year prices to value the economy’s production of goods and services. • The GDP deflator—calculated from the ratio of nominal to real GDP—measures the level of prices in the economy.
38.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western Summary • GDP is a good measure of economic well-being because people prefer higher to lower incomes. • It is not a perfect measure of well-being because some things, such as leisure time and a clean environment, aren’t measured by GDP.
