4 What does GDP measure? The market value of all final goods and services produced in a nation during a period of time, usually a year
5
5 What is gross national product (GNP)? GNP measures the market value of all final goods and services produced by a nation’s residents, no matter where they are located
6
6 What is an advantage of using GDP? GDP measures value using dollars, rather than a list of the number of goods and services
7
7 Does GDP measure secondhand transactions? No, Current GDP does not include the sale of a used car or the sale of a home constructed some years ago
8
8 What are intermediate goods? Goods and services used as inputs for production of final goods
9
9 Does GDP count intermediate goods? No, to avoid double counting, GDP only measures final goods and services
10
10 What are final goods? Finished goods and services produced for the ultimate user
11
11 Does GDP measure nonproductive financial transactions? No, GDP does not count purely private or public financial transactions such as giving gifts, stocks, bonds, or transfer payments
12
12 What is a transfer payment? A government payment to individuals, not in exchange for goods or services currently produced
13
13 Does GDP measure the whole economy? Yes, GDP consists of many puzzle pieces to fit together, including markets for products, resources, consumers, workers, and businesses
14
14 What is a circular flow model? A model that show us how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together
15
15 Product markets Households Factor markets Businesses Basic Circular Flow Model
16
16 What is a flow? A rate of change in a quantity during a given time period
17
17 What is a stock? A quantity measured at one point in time
18
18 What additional sectors does a complex circular flow model contain? Financial markets Government Foreign markets
19
19 What leakages are present in the more complex model? Household saving Household taxes paid Income spent on imports
20
20 What injections are present in the more complex model? Business spending Government spending Foreign spending
21
21 What point is the economy tending toward? Where the dollar value of leakages equals the dollar value of injections
22
22 What are the two approaches we use to measure GDP? Expenditure Income
23
23 What is the expenditure approach? The national income accounting method that measures GDP by adding all the spending for final goods and services
24
24 What are the four sectors of GDP? Consumption Investment Government Foreign (X - M)
25
25 GDP = C + I + G + (X - M)
26
26 What is the income approach? The method that measures GDP by adding all incomes
27
27 What are the Income components of GDP? GDP = Compensation of employees + rents + profits + net interest + nonincome adjustments
28
28 What are nonincome adjustments? Capital consumption allowances Indirect business taxes

34
34 What are indirect business taxes? Taxes levied as a percentage of the prices of goods sold and therefore become a part of the revenue received by firms
35
35 What are shortcomings of GDP? Nonmarket transactions Distribution, kind, & quality of products Neglect of leisure time Underground economy Economic bads
36
36 What other national accounts measure economic performance? Net National Product National Income Personal Income Disposable Personal Income Nominal and Real GDP GDP Chain Price Index
37
37 What is Net Domestic Product? NDP is GDP minus depreciation of the capital worn out in producing output
38
38 What is national income? NI is the total earned by resource owners, including wages, rents, interest, and profits
39
39 What is personal income? PI is the total income received by households that is available for consumption, saving, and payment of personal taxes
40
40 What is disposable personal income? DI is the amount of income that households have to spend or save after payment of personal taxes
41
41 What is nominal GDP? The value of all final goods based on the prices existing during the time period of production
42
42 What is real GDP? The value of all final goods produced during a given time period based on the prices existing in a selected base year
43
43 Real GDP = nominal GDP x 100 GDP price index
44
44 What is the chain price index? A measure that compares changes in the prices of all final goods during a given period to the prices of those goods in a base year

49 Summary
50
50 GDP is the most widely used measure of a nation’s economic performance. GDP is the market value of all final goods produced in the U.S. during a period of time regardless of who owns the factors of production.
51
51 GNP is the market value of final goods and services produced by U.S. residents, no matter where they are located.
52
52 The circular flow model is a diagram representing the flow of products and resources between businesses and households in exchange for money payments.
53
53 Flows must be distinguished from stocks. Flows are measured in units per time period, for example, dollars per year. Stocks are quantities that exist at a given point in time measured in dollars.

54 Product markets Households Factor markets Businesses Basic Circular Flow Model
55
55 The expenditure approach sums the four major spending components of GDP: consumption, investment, government, and net exports.
56
56 The income approach sums the major income components of GDP, consisting of compensation of employees, rents, profits net interest and nonincome expenses for depreciation and indirect business taxes.
57
57 Net domestic product (NDP) is GDP minus depreciation
58
58 National income (NI) is total income earned by households and is calculated as NDP minus indirect business taxes.
59
59 Personal income (PI) is the total income received by households and is calculated as NI minus corporate taxes and Social Security taxes plus transfer payments, net interest, and dividends.
60
60 Disposable personal income (DI) is personal income minus personal taxes. DI is the amount of income a household has available to consume or save.
61
61 Nominal GDP measures all final goods and services produced in a given time period of production.
62
62 Real GDP measures all final goods and services produced in a given time period, valued at the prices existing in a base year.
63
63 The GDP chain price index is a broad price index used to convert nominal GDP to real GDP.
