1 SSEMA1 The student will illustrate the means by which economic activity is measured. a. Explain that overall levels of income, employment, and prices are determined by the spending and production decisions of households, businesses, government, and net exports. b. Define Gross Domestic Product (GDP), economic growth, unemployment, Consumer Price Index (CPI), inflation, stagflation, and aggregate supply and aggregate demand. c. Explain how economic growth, inflation, and unemployment are calculated.
2 Essential Question How do the spending and production decisions of households, businesses, government, and net exports affect the countries economy? What is Gross Domestic Product (GDP)? How is economic growth calculated? How and why is economic activity measured?
3 Activating Strategy If you had to decide if China or the U.S. had the greatest economy, how would you decide and why? Explain your self in 5 or more sentences Is employment the most important Is it how many goods these countries make Is it the price of oil in both countries Is it the country that has the most luxury goods (cars, houses) Or does the economy of both countries change from year to year (must measure yearly)
4 Key Concepts Macroeconomics Gross Domestic Product Net Exports Trade Surplus Trade Deficit GDP per Capita Standard of Living
5 Macroeconomics Macroeconomics: the study of the economics of a nation as a whole
6 Measuring the Economy Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The dollar amount of all final goods and services produced within a country s national borders in a year. 1. Calculate GDP a. GDP= C+I+G+ (X - M) b. C = Consumption: total amount of consumer spending c. I = Investment: money put to work earning money d. G = Government: money spent by the Government for defense, welfare programs and others. e. (X - M) = Net Exports: a countries exports minus it imports
7
8 GDP
9 Net Exports can be Positive and a Negative 1. Trade surplus: exporting more than importing 2. Trade deficit: importing more than exporting
10 GDP per Capita 1. GDP per Capita: dollar amount of GDP produced on a per-person basis. 2. GDP per Capita measures the standard of living of the people in a country. 3. Standard of living: is the rough estimate of the quality of life that people in a country are able to afford.

39 2008 Unemployment
40 Unemployment Unemployment rate: is the percentage of labor force unemployed and looking for work. Calculated:
41 Unemployment
