This document discusses Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and economic growth. It defines GDP as the dollar value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders in a given year. Real GDP, which accounts for inflation, is used to measure economic growth from year to year. The document also discusses factors that influence GDP, such as aggregate supply and demand, as well as limitations of using GDP to measure a country's overall wealth and citizens' quality of life. It then explains the business cycle of economic expansion and contraction, and how indicators like business investment, interest rates, consumer expectations, and external shocks can impact the cycle. The document concludes by defining economic growth as an increase in real GDP per capita over time

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 ...

Measuring Domestic Output and National Income
Assessing the Economy’s Performance
National income accounting measures economy’s overall performance
Bureau of Economic Analysis compiles National Income and Product Accounts
Assess health of economy
Track long-run course
Formulate policy
National income accounting does for the economy what private accounting would do for an individual household or business. The Bureau of Economic Analysis, an agency of the Department of Commerce, compiles the data and reports it in National Income and Product Accounts. This information is used by economists and policymakers in formulating decisions for the best interest of the nation.
Gross Domestic Product(GDP)
GDP is the dollar value of all final goods and services produced within the borders of a country during a specific period of time.
Measure of aggregate output
Monetary measure
Avoid multiple counting
One way to avoid multiple counting is to include market value of final goods and ignore intermediate goods
Another approach is to count value added
The primary measure of the economy’s performance as a whole is its aggregate output. This is most commonly calculated as Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. GDP is a monetary measure in that everything is valued in dollars. All goods and services produced must be converted into dollar values for GDP to work. To avoid multiple counting of goods, GDP includes only the market value of final goods and ignores intermediate goods, which are goods either purchased for resale or for further processing into final goods. GDP could also avoid multiple counting by counting only the value added at each stage. Value added is the market value of a firm’s output less the value of the inputs that the firm purchased from others.
Intermediate goods are products that are purchased for resale or further processing or manufacturing. Final goods are products that are purchased by their end users.e.g Lettuce, carrots and vinegar in restaurant salads are intermediate goods, restaurant salads are final goods.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

2. What makes a nation
wealthy?
• Rank the countries based on what you perceive makes
the nations wealthy according to the decsriptions.
3. Why Measure Growth?
After the Great Depression, economists felt it was
important to measure macroeconomic status to predict
and prevent future economic downturns.
Established NIPA
4. NIPA
National Income and Product Accounts
o Collects data on production, income, investment, and savings
o Maintained by the Department of Commerce
o This data is reported and used to influence government policy
5. GDP (Gross Domestic
Product)
• Most important measure of wealth
• GDP is the dollar value of all FINAL goods and services
produced within a country’s borders in a given year.
o Final goods are those sold to consumers
o Intermediate goods are those used in the production process (not calculated)
6. “Within a Country’s
Borders”
GDP does not include products made by a US company
overseas
GDP does include a car made in the US by Toyota
(Japanese company)
7. What do you think? (Included in
GDP or no)
A new house?
A used house?
The realtor's fee on the used house?
All the products used to produce the new house? (nails,
shingles, siding etc...)
8. What is included...
A new house?...Yes
A used house?...No
The realtor's fee on the used house?...Yes
All the products used to produce the new house (nails,
shingles, siding etc...)?...No (secondary goods)
9. Nominal vs. Real GDP
Nominal GDP is GDP measured in current prices
o Does not always measure an increase in output
To measure growth from year to year, economists
measure Real GDP
o Real GDP is measured by calculating GDP with constant price (accounts for
inflation).
10. Limitations of GDP
Nonmarket Activities
GDP does not measure goods and
services that people make or do
themselves, such as caring for
children, mowing lawns, or cooking
dinner.
Negative Externalities
Unintended economic side effects,
such as pollution, have a monetary
value that is often not reflected in
GDP.
The Underground Economy
There is much economic activity
which, although income is
generated, never reported to the
government. Examples include
black market transactions and
"under the table" wages.
Quality of Life
Although GDP is often used as a
quality of life measurement, there
are factors not covered by it. These
include leisure time, pleasant
surroundings, and personal safety.
11. Influences on GDP
Aggregate Supply
o The total amount of goods and services available in an economy at all price
levels
Aggregate Demand
o The total amount of goods and services demanded in an economy at all price
levels
12. Is it Accurate?
Many things to calculate in GDP and much is missed or
overlooked
However, it does provide us with a baseline of stats and
over time, shows important trends
The meausrment may not be accurate but t is constant
13. Review
1. Real GDP takes which of the following into
account?
(a) changes in supply
(b) changes in prices
(c) changes in demand
(d) changes in aggregate demand
2. Which of the following is reflected in GDP?
(a) The underground economy
(b) Non-market activities
(c) Mr. Klein’s extraordinary teaching at WHS
(d) Negative externalities
15. Business Cycles
• Period of macroeconomic expansion followed by
contraction
• Phases of Business Cycles
o Expansion…period of economic growth measured by a rise in real GDP
• Growth being a steady, long term rise in GDP
• Plentiful jobs, falling unemployment
16. Phases of Business Cycles (cont.)
• Peak…height of economic expansion
• Contraction…economic decline marked by falling real
GDP
• Trough…bottom of contraction
17. Contractions with Different
Characteristics
• Recession…real GDP falls for two straight quarters
o Prolonged period of economic contraction
o Usually a rise in unemployment
• Depression…a severe recession
• Stagflation…decline in real GDP, combined with a rise in
price level
18. Keeping the Cycle
Typically, a sharp rise or fall in a key indicator sparks a
series of events
4 main indicators
o Business investment
o Interest rates and credit
o Consumer expectations
o External shocks
22. External Shocks
Unpredictable and disrupt aggregate supply
o Wars
o Floods
o Natural disasters
o Oil shortage
Can be positive
o Discoveries
o Good weather
23. Review
1. A business cycle is
(a) a period of economic expansion followed by a period of
contraction.
(b) a period of great economic expansion.
(c) the length of time needed to produce a product.
(d) a period of recession followed by depression and expansion.
2. A recession is
(a) a period of steady economic growth.
(b) a prolonged economic expansion.
(c) an especially long or severe economic contraction.
(d) a prolonged economic contraction.
25. Economic Growth
A change in GDP over time illustrates growth
For economic growth to occur, it should change with
population
Real GDP per capita measures such growth and the
standard of living
26. Quality of Life
GDP measures standard of living but not quality of life
o Pollution
o Stress
o Nutrition
Also does not tell how GDP is distributed
o Poor sections of the country
o Poor percentage of population
27. Capital Deepening
• The process of increasing capital per worker
o Goal is to increase productivity
o Savings and investing lead to capital deepening
28. Population
Increased population without capital deepening will lower
the standard of living
Increased population without increase in production will
lower the standard of living
30. Foreign Trade
• Foreign trade and running a trade deficit can actually be
good in some ways
o If the goods being traded enhance capital deepening
o In the long run…this capital deepening can increase productivity and help to pay
back debt that results from a trade deficit
31. Technological Progress
An increase in efficiency gained by producing
more output from more inputs
o Technology
o Realignment
o Knowledge
Technological progress is measured by looking
at the amount of GDP that increases from
technology and not labor
32. Review
1. Capital deepening is the process of
(a) increasing consumer spending.
(b) selling off obsolete equipment.
(c) decreasing the amount of capital per worker.
(d) increasing the amount of capital per worker.
2. Taxes and trade deficits can contribute to
economic growth if the money involved is spent
on
(a) consumer goods.
(b) investment goods.
(c) additional services.
(d) farming.
