This document provides an overview of macroeconomic measurement and gross domestic product (GDP). It discusses the three approaches to computing GDP - the production, expenditure, and income approaches. It also covers key related concepts like real and nominal GDP, economic growth rates, price indices, inflation, and the relationship between savings, investment, and trade. The learning goals are to understand how GDP is defined and computed using the different approaches, and how related indicators like growth rates, prices, and inflation are calculated.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is defined as the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time, usually one year. GDP can be measured using the production, expenditure, and income approaches. The production approach sums the value added at each stage of production. The expenditure approach sums consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports. The income approach sums wages, rents, profits, and depreciation earned domestically. GDP is a key indicator used to measure and compare the size and growth of a country's economy.
The economists on Frontline said that President Bush's fiscal policy was problematic and led to the recession. They believed that Bush's tax cuts and increased government spending led to growing budget deficits, which contributed to the economic downturn. The document then provides notes on calculating and measuring gross domestic product using the expenditure and income approaches. It discusses the components that make up GDP and how national income accounts are used to track economic activity.

National income measures the total value of goods and services produced in an economy over a period of time. It is important for economists to measure national income to analyze economic growth, changes in living standards, and income inequality. National income can be measured using the product method, income method, or expenditure method. Each method involves calculating GDP, GNP, NNP, and NDP to determine the total national income. There are challenges to accurately measuring national income, such as defining what is included, avoiding double counting, and calculating depreciation. National income statistics are used for economic policy formulation, analyzing economic structure, making comparisons over time and between countries, and as an indicator of economic welfare.

The document discusses different methods of measuring national income:
1) The production method measures the net value of all goods and services produced in an economy over a year.
2) The income method measures national income by totaling incomes received by factors of production such as wages, rent, interest and profits.
3) The expenditure method measures total expenditure on final goods and services in an economy through consumption, investment, exports and government spending.

This document outlines key concepts for measuring national output and income, including:
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total market value of final goods and services produced domestically in a given period. GDP can be calculated using the expenditure approach (personal consumption + investment + government spending + net exports) or the income approach (compensation of employees + business income). Real GDP adjusts nominal GDP for inflation using a price index. While GDP measures market output, it does not account for non-market activities or income distribution, and other factors like leisure time or crime rates are not included.

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 ...

National Accounts of Pakistan were presented by Liaqat Ali, Chief Statistical Officer. The presentation discussed why national income is calculated, the conceptual background of national accounts based on the System of National Accounts, and the main aggregates and their uses. It provided an overview of approaches to compile GDP, the division of the economy by institutional sectors and industries, and methodology for GDP compilation by different industries in Pakistan such as agriculture, manufacturing, services, and others. Current economic conditions in Pakistan were also briefly touched on.
GDP can be measured in three ways:
1) Expenditure approach measures total expenditures on final goods and services.
2) Income approach measures total income earned from production, including compensation, profits, and rents.
3) Production approach measures total value added at each stage of production.
Real GDP is used to measure economic growth by adjusting for inflation using GDP deflators or price indexes. However, GDP has limitations as a welfare measure since it excludes nonmarket activities and environmental factors.
This document defines key concepts in macroeconomics including different types of goods, the circular flow of income, methods to calculate national income, and concepts related to national income aggregates. It provides formulas to calculate measures like GDP, GNP, NDP, NNP, and discusses how to calculate national disposable income, private income, personal income, and personal disposable income.
The document discusses key concepts related to measuring national income, including:
1) Gross National Product (GNP) is the total value of all final goods and services produced by a nation's resources in a year, including income earned abroad.
2) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures production within a nation's borders, regardless of ownership, and excludes income earned abroad.
3) National income statistics are used for economic planning, reviewing changes in living standards over time, comparing economic performance between countries, and appraising economic growth.
This document discusses key concepts related to measuring national income, including:
- National income measures the total value of goods and services produced within an economy over a period of time. It is important for examining economic growth, living standards, and income inequality.
- Gross National Product (GNP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) are the main measures used, differing based on whether production is by a country's citizens or within its domestic territory.
- National income can be measured using the income, output, and expenditure approaches, which should produce equal totals. Limitations include exclusion of non-market activities and difficulties with price adjustments over time and between countries.
National income measures the total value of goods and services produced within an economy over a period of time without duplication. It is important for economists to measure national income to analyze economic growth, standard of living, and income inequality. National income can be measured using the product method, income method, or expenditure method. Each method involves estimating the total GDP, GNP, or NNP through summing the value of final goods/services, total income, or total expenditures respectively in an economy. There are challenges to accurately measuring national income such as avoiding double counting, accounting for transfer payments, and calculating depreciation. National income statistics are used for economic policy formulation, studying economic structure, and comparing economic welfare across countries.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Chapter 5 2
3. Chapter Outline
1. An Overview of National Accounting
2. Defining Gross Domestic Product
3. Measuring Gross Domestic Product
4. Growth, Price Changes and Real GDP
5. Savings, Investment and Trade
Chapter 5 3
4. Why should you care about Gross Domestic Product?
GDP is the measure most often used to gauge the
performance of a country‘s economy
– Levels of GDP are used in international comparisons
– Rate of change in GDP is what we usually refer to as
„economic growth“
– Recessions are usually defined as a fall in GDP
Chapter 5 4
6. Historical Origins of National Accounts
In the 19th century: First attempts to measure national income
in England and France
By 1900, only 9 countries computed national income
Great Depression and World War II increased interests in
national income measurement
By 1940, 33 countries computed national income
Today, all countries measure national income
– In the European Union, national statistical offices and the European
statistical Eurostat compile national accounts
– There are broad standards, but conventions differ between e.g. the
United States of America and EU countries
Chapter 5 6
7. National Accounting Sectors
Household sector: Households and non-profit organization, including
household firms
Non-financial corporations sector: All private and public corporate
enterprises that produce goods or provide non-financial services to
the market
Government sector: All central, state, regional and local
governments and social security funds
Financial corporations sector: All private and public entities
engaged in financial intermediation
Rest of the world: All entities located outside a country’s borders
Chapter 5 7
8. Conventions about Capital Stocks
Components of manufactured capital:
– Fixed assets: equipment owned by businesses and
governments (e.g. structures, dwellings, software,
intellectual property products)
– Inventories: stocks of raw materials or manufactured goods
held until they can be used or sold
– Consumer durable goods: equipment owned by households
that is used in household production of goods and services

10. Conventions about Investment
Investment:
– Addition to stocks of nonfinancial assets
Gross investment:
– All flows into the capital stock over a period of time
Net investment:
– Gross investment minus depreciation
Depreciation:
– Decrease in the quantity or quality of a stock of capital
Chapter 5 10
12. Gross Domestic Product
Chapter 5 12
A measure of the total market value of final goods and
services newly produced within a country‘s borders
over a period of time (usually one year)
13. Defining Gross Domestic Product
Market value
– For most components of GDP, we can simply refer to the
market prices of goods and services to determine their
contribution to GDP
Chapter 5 13
14. Defining Gross Domestic Product
Final goods and services
– a good that is ready for use, needing no further processing
– In contrast, an intermediate good is a good that will
undergo further processing
– Excluding intermediate goods and services avoids double
counting

16. Defining Gross Domestic Product
Over a period of time
– GDP measures production during a specific time period,
normally a year or a quarter of a year
Newly produced
– Only new goods and services are counted
Within a country‘s borders
– The goods and services are produced within the physical
borders of the country
Chapter 5 16
18. Measuring Gross Domestic Product
Production approach
– sums up the euro value of all final goods and services produced
in each national accounting sector
Spending approach
– who buys the final goods and services that have been produced
Income approach
– totals compensation received by everyone involved in
production
Chapter 5 18
Value of Production = Value of Spending = Value of Income

20. The Product Approach
Measures the value of all final goods and services by
their market value in respective currency
Value-added approach: adds up all value-added
contributions at each step in the production process
Imputations are used to estimate values of
components of GDP

22. The Product Approach
Chapter 5 22
Business production
+ Households and institutions production
+ Government production
− Taxes less subsidies on products
= GDP
23. Convention about household production
Counted as household production:
– Imputed rent of owner-occupied dwellings
Not counted as household production:
– Domestic and personal services produced and consumed
within the same household (e.g. cleaning, preparation of
meals or the care of sick and elderly)
– Volunteer service that do not lead to the production of
goods, e.g. care-taking or cleaning without payment

29. Box 5.2 Sex, Drugs and GDP
Chapter 6 29
In October 2014, euro area GDP increased by more than
€300 billion – overnight!
Background: Eurostat changed rules:
Research & Development was classified as investment (counted in
GDP), not intermediate consumption (not counted in GDP)
Illegal market activities were counted (prostitution, sale of drugs
such as cannabis, ecstasy or LSD)
Italian GDP was revised up by 1 percent, British GDP by 0.6 percent
and Danish GDP by 0.2 percent
30. The Income Approach
Production related incomes (wages, rents, and profits) earned by
all people and organizations inside the euro area are summed up
in national income
– Income from foreign production received by domestic residents is
subtracted
– Income from domestic production received by foreign residents is
added
– Add depreciation
– Statistical discrepancy: results from income approach not exactly
reconciles results from product and spending approaches
Chapter 5 30
31. The Income Approach
Chapter 5 31
National Income
− Net income payments from the foreign sector
+ Depreciation

36. Nominal vs. Real GDP
Nominal (current euro) GDP: gross domestic product
expressed in terms of current prices
Real GDP: a measure of gross domestic product that
seeks to reflect the actual value of goods and services
produced, by removing the effect of changes in prices

39. Calculating Real GDP
Constant-prices method (until the 1990s)
– Use prices from one particular year, the base year, to evaluate
value of production in all years
– Constant-Price Real GDP = Total production valued at base year
prices
Chain-linked prices (since the 1990s)
– Real and nominal GDP are equal in the reference year
– Yields a unique growth rate
– Computationally complex

48. The Relationship of Savings, Investment and Trade
Spending Approach to GDP:
GDP = Personal consumption + Private investment + Net
exports + Government consumption + Government
investment
Rearranging:
GDP – Personal consumption – Government consumption =
Private investment + Government investment + Net exports
Saving = Investment + Net exports

51. Net Domestic Product and Saving
Net domestic product (NDP): a measure of national
production in excess of that needed to replace worn-out
manufactured capital, by subtracting depreciation from
GDP
– Net domestic product = GDP – Depreciation
Net saving is a better measure that gross saving of
whether we are “putting aside for the future”
– Net saving = (Gross) Saving - Depreciation
Chapter 5 51
52. What to take home
GDP is the predominant measure for national income
In European national accounting, five sectors are
distinguished
– Household sector, non-financial corporations sector,
government sector, financial corporations sector, rest of the
world
GDP can be measured using the production, spending,
or income approach
Inflation is the change of prices over time
GDP can be computed in real terms (correcting for
inflation) or in nominal terms
Chapter 5 52
54. How to Calculate Chain-Linked Real GDP
1. Calculate Fisher quantity index
2. Set chain-type quantity index to 100 in reference
year
3. Multiply with Fisher index from current year
4. Multiply chain-type quantity index times level of
nominal GDP in reference year
5. Divide by 100
