Measuring macro outcomes
My expectations are that it will take a page or more to answer the two questions below
1.Are people worse off when the price level rises as fast as their income? Why do people often feel worse off in such circumstances?
2.Identify two groups that benefit from deflation and two that lose.

1.NATIONAL-INCOME ACCOUNTING
This chapter introduces national-income accounting. The data generated by national-income accounting is used to track the economy’s performance. This chapter provides a framework on which future chapters will build. The three questions that are to be kept in mind while reviewing the chapter are:
1. How much income is being produced? What is it being used for?
2. How much income is being generated in the marketplace?
3. What’s happening to prices and wages?
OUTLINE
I. Introduction
A. Government only wants to tackle problems that it can measure.
B. The Great Depression resulted in a commitment to national income accounting.
1. Definition: National-Income Accounting – The measurement of aggregate economic activity, particularly national income and its components.
2. Developed by Simon Kuznets and the U.S. Department of Commerce, it answers questions such as:
• How much output is being produced? What is it being used for?
• How much income is being generated in the marketplace?
• What’s happening to prices and wages?
II. Measures of Output
A. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Figure 5.1a and b, Table 5.1)
1. Definition: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – The total dollar value of final output produced within a nation’s borders in a given time period.
2. The use of prices to value market output allows us to summarize output activity and compare outputs of one period with that of another.
3. GDP vs. GNP
• GNP refers to output produced by American-owned factors regardless of location.
• GDP refers to output produced within America’s borders.
• GDP is geographically focused, including all output produced within a nation’s borders regardless of whose factors of production are used to produce it.
• For example, Apple’s output in Singapore ends up in Singapore’s GDP; the cars produced at Honda’s Ohio plant are counted in US GDP.
4. International Comparisons
• The geographic focus of GDP facilitates international comparisons of economic activity.
• The World View in chapter 2 illustrates a comparison of GDP values.
5. GDP per Capita
• Definition: GDP per Capita - Total GDP divided by total population: average GDP.
• GDP per capita is commonly used as a measure of a country’s standard of living.
• Disparities in per capita GDP mean that people in low-income countries have little access to telephones, televisions, paved roads, schools, and healthcare.
• World View: “Global Inequalities”
Over 1.3 billion people live in nations the World Bank calls “low-income”. The average income in low-income nations is only $1,500. Behind sta ...
