2 People earning higher income levels enjoy higher living standards. To judge economic well being, we consider the total income in an economy. Economies with a larger output satisfy the demands of their inhabitants. Gross Domestic Product GDP measures the total income and output of a nation. Gross Domestic product GDP is the best measure of economic performance. Provides a number for the dollar value of economic activity in a given period of time. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 2 / 39

3 Definition Gross Domestic Product is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 3 / 39

4 Definition Gross Domestic Product is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. GDP adds together diverse products into one value of economic activity. The value of economic activity is calculated using market prices. Market prices is the amount people are willing to pay for products. Market prices reflect the value of those products to people. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 4 / 39

5 Definition Gross Domestic Product is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. GDP includes items produced and sold in markets legally. GDP excludes items produced and sold illicitly. GDP excludes all items produced and consumed at home. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 5 / 39

6 Definition Gross Domestic Product is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. Final goods are intended for the end user. Intermediate goods are ingredients in the production of other goods. The value of intermediate goods is included in the prices of the final goods. GDP includes only the value of final goods to avoid double counting. An exception is when an intermediate good is produced and added to a firm s inventory for sale at a later date. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 6 / 39

7 Definition Gross Domestic Product is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. GDP includes tangible goods and intangible services. Tangible goods include durable and non-durable goods. Durable goods are goods that last for a long period of time. Non-durable goods are goods that do not last for a long period of time. Services include work done for consumers by individuals and by firms. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 7 / 39

8 Definition Gross Domestic Product is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. GDP includes goods and services currently produced. GDP does not include items produced in the past. GDP does not include the sale of old used items. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 8 / 39

9 Definition Gross Domestic Product is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. GDP is the value of production within the geographic confines of a country. GDP includes items that are produced domestically by nationals and foreigners. The production of citizens abroad is not included in the GDP of the citizen s country. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 9 / 39

10 Definition Gross Domestic Product is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. GDP is the value of production that takes place within a specific interval of time, a year or a quarter. When GDP is reported for a quarter, it represents GDP at an annual rate. This is the amount of income and expenditure during a quarter multiplied by 4. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 10 / 39

11 Gross Domestic Product increases from one year to another because: 1 The economy is producing a larger quantity of goods and services. 2 Goods and services are being sold at higher prices. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 11 / 39

12 Definition Nominal GDP is the production of goods and services valued at current prices. Definition Nominal GDP uses current prices to place a value on the economy s production of goods and services. Nominal GDP 2017 = [(P 2017 Q 2017 ) Item1 + (P 2017 Q 2017 ) Item2 +...] Nominal GDP 2018 = [(P 2018 Q 2018 ) Item1 + (P 2018 Q 2018 ) Item2 +...] Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 12 / 39

13 Definition Real GDP is the production of goods and services valued at constant prices. Definition Real GDP uses constant base year prices to place a value on the economy s production of goods and services. Real GDP 2017 = [(P base Q 2017 ) Item1 + (P base Q 2017 ) Item2 +...] Real GDP 2018 = [(P base Q 2018 ) Item1 + (P base Q 2018 ) Item2 +...] Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 13 / 39

18 Definition The GDP Deflator measures the current level of prices relative to the level of prices in the base year. [ ] Nominal GDP GDP Deflator = X 100 Real GDP [ ] (P2018 Q 2018 ) GDP Deflator 2018 = Item1 + (P 2018 Q 2018 ) Item X 100 (P base Q 2018 ) Item1 + (P base Q 2018 ) Item Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 18 / 39

20 GDP does not take into account activity in black markets or informal markets. GDP does not take into account activity that takes place outside markets. GDP does not take into account the effect of production on the environment. GDP does not take into account subsistence production and volunteer work. GDP does not take into account human happiness and life satisfaction. GDP does not take into account the impact of leisure on the quality of life. GDP does not take into account income inequality between rich and poor. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 20 / 39

21 GDP measures the total income of everyone in the economy and the total expenditure on the economy s output. Total expenditure has to equal total income because every transaction has two sides: a buyer and a seller. Every dollar of spending on a product by some buyer is a dollar of income for some seller. The expenditure of buyers on purchasing a product is considered income to the sellers of the product. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 21 / 39

22 Revenue (=GDP) G & S sold Markets for Goods & Services Spending (=GDP) G & S bought Firms Households Factors of production Wages, rent, profit (=GDP) Markets for Factors of Production Labor, land, capital Income (=GDP) Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 22 / 39

23 Economists care not only about the economy s total output but also about the allocation of this output among alternative uses. GDP is allocated among four categories: consumption spending, investment spending, government spending and net exports. These categories consider expenditure by domestic and foreign households, firms and governments on goods and services. This equation is an identity that holds at all times, and is called the national income accounts identity. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 23 / 39

24 Y : Gross Domestic Product C: Consumption Spending I : Investment Spending G: Government Spending NX : Net exports Y = C + I + G + NX Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 24 / 39

25 Definition Consumption Spending is spending by households on goods and services, with the exception of purchases of new housing. Goods include durable goods and non-durable goods. Durable goods are goods that last for a long period of time. Non-durable goods are goods that do not last a long period of time. A service is the non material equivalent of a good, and is an economic activity that does not result in ownership. For renters, consumption includes rent payments. For homeowners, consumption includes the imputed rental value of the house. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 25 / 39

26 Definition Investment Spending is spending on capital equipment, structures, and inventories, and household purchases of new housing. Definition Business fixed investment is spending on new plant, factories, machines and equipment by firms. Definition Residential investment is the purchase of new housing by households and landlords. Includes the purchase price and mortgage payments. Definition Inventory includes items produced in a given year, but may be sold in a later year. Inventory investment is the increase in firm s inventories of goods. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 26 / 39

27 Definition Government Spending is spending by local, state and federal governments on goods and services. Federal government spending includes defense and non-defense spending. State and local government spending includes only non-defense spending. Non defense includes the salaries of government workers and spending on public works. Excludes transfer payments, such as social security or unemployment benefits. Transfer payments are not made in exchange for a currently produced good or service. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 27 / 39

28 Definition Net Exports equal the purchases of domestically produced goods by foreigners minus the domestic purchases of foreign goods. Net Exports = Exports Imports The purchases of domestically produced goods by foreigners is a country s exports. The domestic purchases of foreign goods is a country s imports. When a household, a firm or the government buys a good or a service from abroad, it increases imports. It also increases either consumption, investment, or government spending, and does not affect GDP. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 28 / 39

29 Gross Domestic Product Personal Consumption Expenditures Durable Goods (Cars, Household Durables, Computers) Nondurable Goods (Food & Clothes) Services (Travel, Entertainment, Imputed Costs Of Home Ownership) Gross Private Domestic Investment Fixed Investment Nonresidential Structures Equipment & Software Residential Change In Private Inventories (End Of Period To End Of Period) Government Consumption Expenditures & Gross Investment Federal National Defense Nondefense State & Local Net Exports Of Goods & Services Exports Goods Services Imports Goods Services Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 29 / 39

31 National income accounts divide national income into different components. Y = Wage + Rent + Interest + Profit Compensation of employees or wages and fringe benefits earned by workers. Proprietor s income which is the income of non-corporate businesses. Rental income received by landlords including the imputed rent that homeowners pay to themselves less expenses such as depreciation. Corporate profits which is the income of corporations after payments to their workers and creditors. Net interest which is the interest businesses pay minus the interest they receive, plus interest earned from foreigners. Sherif Khalifa () Economic Performance 31 / 39

32 GDP exclusively measures the market value of finished goods and services. GDP completely captures the net contributions or the value added of intermediate producers. Total dollars spent on finished goods and services equals the total dollars collected by economic entities involved in the production of economic output.
