Aggregate Demand and the Powerful Consumer Chapter 8
From Potential to Actual GDP
• From aggregate supply to aggregate demand• In the long run, aggregate supply “rules
the roost”. Full employment of labor(L), capital(K) and technology determine the level of potential output of the economy – potential GDP.
• In the short run, aggregate demand rules.
Aggregate Demand
• Aggregate Demand (AD)• Total amount that all consumers, business
firms, government agencies and foreigners spend on final goods and services
• The level of aggregate demand is affected by the price level
3
Aggregate Demand
• Four main components of aggregate demand (also referred to as aggregate expenditure).
• Consumer expenditure (C)• Total amount spent by consumers on newly
produced goods and services• About 2/3 of total spending• Items not included: purchase of used goods,
purchases of new homes and imported consumer goods and components
4
Aggregate Demand
• Investment spending (I)• Sum of
• business purchases of new plant, equipment, and software
• new home construction• change in inventories
• Does not include financial “investments”• Does not include resales of existing
physical assets
5
Aggregate Demand
• Government purchases (G)• All the goods and services purchased by all
levels of government: federal, state and local.• Government transfer payments are not
included• Money redistributed from one group of citizens (taxpayers)
to another (the poor, the unemployed, the elderly) are transfer payments
• Why? Not associated with production of goods and services • Included in government budgets as outlays • Not included in the government purchase component of
GDP6
Aggregate Demand
• Net exports (NX)• Difference between exports (X) and imports
(IM)
• Aggregate Demand (AD) is the sum of C + I + G + (X-IM)
AD = C + I + G + (X – IM)
National Income
• National income• Sum of incomes that all factors of
production• Includes wages, interest, rents, and profits• Excludes government transfer payments• Is calculated before any deductions are
taken for income taxes
8
Circular Flow. Spending, Production, Income
• National income and domestic product must be equal• Money a firm earns for its output represents
income to someone• Wages, interest, rent and profit
• Therefore, Wages + Interest + Rent + Profit = Value of output
Simple Circular Flow
Income ($)
Labor
Goods (bread)
Expenditure ($)
Households Firms
The circular flow diagram shows the income received and payments made by each sector of the economy.
From the Appendix: National Income Accounting• National income accounting
• System of measurement devised for collecting and expressing macroeconomic data such as GDP and national income.
• Gross domestic product (GDP)• Sum of money values of all final goods and
services produced over a specified period of time, usually one year within the geographic boundary of a country
• GDP = C + I + G + (X – IM)
11
How to Calculate GDP -The Expenditure Approach • Four types of final users in the economy:
Household Sector – Consumption (C)
Business Sector – Investment (I)
Government Sector – Government Purchases (G)
Foreign Sector – Net Exports (NX)
• Expenditure approach: GDP = C+I+G+NX– Adding the value of goods and services
purchased by each type of final user
The Expenditure Approach to GDP
• Consumption spending (C) – Part of GDP purchased by households as
final users– represents about 2/3 of total GDP– Items not included:
• Imported consumption goods and components
• New home construction• Purchase of used goods
13
The Expenditure Approach to GDP
• Consumption spending (C) – Items included even though households
don’t actually buy them• Total value of food products produced on
farms that are consumed by the farmers and their families themselves
• Total value of housing services provided by owner-occupied homes
14
The Expenditure Approach to GDP
• Private investment (I) – Business purchases of plant,
equipment, and software
– New home construction
– Changes in inventories
15
The Expenditure Approach to GDP• Government purchases (G )
– Spending by federal, state, and local governments on goods and services and government investment in bridges, highways, etc.
16
The Expenditure Approach to GDP• Net exports (NX)
– Total exports minus total imports• Total exports (EX)
– U.S. production that is purchased by foreigners
• Total imports (IM)– Americans’ purchases of goods produced
outside of the United States

How to Calculate GDPThe Factor Payment (Income) Approach
• GDP = National income• Add up all income in the economy• GDP = Wages + Interest + Rents + Profits• Includes indirect business taxes• Excludes transfer payments• No deduction for income taxes

Value Added Approach to GDP
• Value added – Revenue a firm receives – Minus amount paid for goods and services
purchased from other firms (intermediate goods)
• Value-added approach – GDP = sum the values added by all firms in
the economy – Value added = Wages + Interest + Rents + Profits
21
Value Added at Different Stages of Production Notebook example
22
The Factor Payments Approach – Using the Notebook Paper Example
Value Added goes to the factors of production
Exercise
A farmer grows a bushel of wheat and sells it to a miller for $1.00.
The miller turns the wheat into flour and sells it to a baker for $3.00.
The baker uses the flour to make a loaf of bread and sells it to an engineer for $6.00.
The engineer eats the bread.
Compute:• value added at each stage of production• GDP
Exercise
Value added - farmer = ?
Value added - miller = ?
Value added - baker = ?
Total Value added = ? = GDP
Measuring GDP: A Summary

Calculating Real GDP
Nominal GDP measures the value of all final goods and services using current prices.
Real GDP measures the value of all final goods and services using the prices of a base year.
Real GDP controls for inflation
Changes in nominal GDP can be due to: changes in prices (P) changes in quantities of output produced (Q) Remember: total sales = P x Q
Changes in real GDP can only be due to changes in quantities (Q), because real GDP is constructed using constant base-year prices. P is held constant

Compute nominal GDP in each year
Compute real GDP in each year using 2009 as the base year.
Example - Calculation of Real GDP
Nominal GDP multiply P & Q from same year2009: $46,200 = $30 900 + $100 192 2010: $51,400 = $31 x 1000 + $102 x 2002011: $58,300 = $36 x 1050 + $100 x 205
Real GDP multiply each year’s Q by 2009 P2009: $46,200 = $30 x 900 + $100 x 192 2010: $50,000 = $30 x 1000 + $100 x 200 2011: $52,000 = $30 1050 + $100 205
GDP Deflator
The inflation rate is the percentage increase in the overall level of prices.
One measure of the price level is the GDP Deflator, defined as
