Gross Domestic Product
• measures the ______ of all goods and services produced in a country (domestically).
• is also total ______ earned by domestically-located factors of production.
Definition: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the market value of all _____ goods and services produced within a country in its own currency and in a given period of time.
To measure GDP we use the National Income Accounting Identity : ___________________

• The sum of all _________ equals the sum of all __________.
Components of National Income1. compensation for ____ – wages, salaries and other
employment benefits (roughly 2/3% of NI in the US has been falling)

= sum of value added at all stages of prod. The goal is to attribute to each industry its
contribution to GDP without ______________ A firm’s value added is:
the value of its output minus
the value of the intermediate goods the firm used to produce that output
Y = C + I + G + NX

A question for you:Suppose a firm produces $10 million worth of final goods but only sells $9 million worth.
Does this violate the expenditure = output identity? Unsold output goes into __________,
and is counted as “_________________”…
In effect, we are assuming that firms __________________________.
So, output ___ expenditure

GNP vs. GDP Gross National Product (GNP):
total income earned by the nation’s factors of production, regardless of where located
Gross Domestic Product (GDP):total income earned by domestically-located factors of production, regardless of nationality.
(GNP – GDP) = (factor payments from abroad) – (factor payments to abroad)

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
GDP deflator =
Real GDP = Nominal GDP
GDP deflator
Inflation is the percentage change in the GDP deflator

Chain-Weighted Real GDP
Over time, relative prices change, so the base year should be updated periodically.
In essence, chain-weighted real GDP updates the base year every year, so it is more accurate than constant-price GDP.
Your textbook usually uses constant-price real GDP, because: • the two measures are highly ____________.• constant-price real GDP is easier to compute.

Inflation
Inflation is a measure of changes in the price level.
Definition: The rate of inflation is the percentage rate of change in the general price level from one period to the next.
![Page 28: Ohio Wesleyan University Goran Skosples 2. Measuring Macroeconomic Performance](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816668550346895dd9fd89/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

There are three main approaches to measuring the price level
1. CPI – consumer price index
2. PPI – producer price index
3. deflators – implicit measure of inflation already covered

Consumer Price Index (CPI) Definition: The CPI is a ratio that shows the
weighted value of a basket of goods (i.e., prices) relative to prices in a given _______ year.
It is a measure of the overall level of prices Published by the ____________________ (___) Used to

How the BLS constructs the CPI
1. _______ consumers to determine composition of the typical consumer’s _______ of goods.
2. Every ______ , collect data on prices of all items in the basket; compute cost of basket
3. CPI in any month equals
Cost of basket in that month100 Cost of basket in base period
Inflation is the ________________ in the CPI

Exercise: Compute the CPI
Basket contains 20 pizzas and 10 compact discs.
prices:pizza CDs
2010 $10 $152011 $11 $15
For each year, compute the cost of the basket the CPI (use 2010 as
the base year) the inflation rate from
the preceding year

Summary
1. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures both total income and total expenditure on the economy’s output of goods & services.
2. Nominal GDP values output at current prices; real GDP values output at constant prices. Changes in output affect both measures, but changes in prices only affect nominal GDP.
3. GDP is the sum of consumption, investment, government purchases, and net exports.

Summary
4. The overall level of prices can be measured by either• the Consumer Price Index (CPI),• the Producer Price Index (PPI)• the GDP deflator
5. The unemployment rate is the fraction of the labor force that is not employed. When unemployment rises, the growth rate of real GDP falls.
