4. Gross Domestic Product
GDP is the dollar value of all final goods & services produced within a country during a given year
Dollar value: total of the selling prices of all goods & services
Final goods- products in the form sold to consumers, as opposed to intermediate goods, which are used in the production of final goods.
U.S. GDP includes all products made in the U.S., regardless of who owns the company.

5. Calculating GDP

6. Calculating GDP Consumption (C)- purchases made by households
Investment (I)- business purchase of equipment, construction, inventories
Government Expenditure (G)- government purchases & investments (such as libraries) but NOT Social Security or welfare (those are counted when consumers spend them)
Exports (X)- goods made in the U.S. & sent to other countries.
Imports (M)- goods made elsewhere and brought in to the U.S.

7. Nominal GDP GDP that is measured in current prices
Simply use the current year’s prices to calculate output.
An increase in prices makes it appear that GDP has risen, when in reality, output has not.
Creates distortion when comparing GDP from year to year.

8. Real GDP GDP expressed in constant or unchanging prices (base year)
When calculating real GDP, a base year prices is used so you can compare output

10. Limitations of GDP GDP does NOT include:
Non-market activities (things people do themselves- caring for children, mowing their own lawn, etc.)
Underground economy (black market transactions, “under the table” wages, other legal, informal transactions such as paying someone in cash to babysit every now and then)
Negative externalities (unintended economic side effects- if a power plant spends money to reduce damage caused by pollution, those expenses are added to GDP, but the value of a clean environment cannot be calculated)
Quality of life (a rising GDP does not necessarily mean people’s standard of living is increasing)

11. Factors That Affect GDP
Aggregate Supply- total amount of all goods and services available at all possible price levels
Aggregate Demand- amount of goods & services in the economy that will be purchased at all possible price levels

12. GDP v. GNP
