2. 2-2 Key Concepts Gross Domestic Product Gross National Income Real and Nominal Measures Human Development Index

3. 2-3 Output Nominal GDP Real GDP GDP per capita Measures of Output

4. 2-4 Gross Domestic Product Total value of goods and services produced in a given year Need to know How much was produced (quantity) What the production was worth (price)

5. 2-5 Example -- Company X Production in 2002 200 washers at $500 100 dryers at $400 Production in 2004 300 washers at $600 100 dryers at $450 What is the total quantity produced by Company X in 2002?

6. 2-6 Price as a Yardstick Price provides a common unit in which to value quantities

7. 2-7 Example -- Company X Production in 2002 200 washers at $500 100 dryers at $400 Production in 2004 300 washers at $600 100 dryers at $450 Nominal Production = 200 x $500 + 100 x $400 = $140,000

8. 2-8 Example -- Company X Production in 2002 200 washers at $500 100 dryers at $400 Production in 2004 300 washers at $600 100 dryers at $450 Nominal Production = 300 x $600 + 100 x $450 = $225,000

9. 2-9 By how much has production increased between 2002 and 2004? Production in 2002 200 washers at $500 100 dryers at $400 Production in 2004 300 washers at $600 100 dryers at $450 What yardstick should we use?

10. 2-10 If base year is 2002: Production in 2002 200 washers at $500 100 dryers at $400 Production in 2004 300 washers at $600 100 dryers at $450 Real Production (2004) = 300 x $500 + 100 x $400 = $190,000

11. 2-11 If base year is 2004: Production in 2002 200 washers at $500 100 dryers at $400 Production in 2004 300 washers at $600 100 dryers at $450 Real Production (2004) = 300 x $600 + 100 x $450 = $225,000

12. 2-12 Chain Weighted Prices Problems with fixed prices Chain weighting as “averaging” of prices

21. 2-21 Real and Nominal Nominal: measure in current prices Real: measure in constant prices

22. Nominal GDP Real GDP

23. 2-23 Value-Added $15 pound of coffee

24. 2-24 Market Chain for Coffee Beans Columbian Farmer Coffee ImporterStarbuck’s Barnes and Noble

25. 2-25 Market Chain for Coffee Beans Columbian Farmer Coffee ImporterStarbuck’s Barnes and Noble $4.20 $7.20$9.80 Retail Price $15.00

26. 2-26 Value-Added Sales $5.80 Roasting & Packaging $2.00 Shipping and Importing $3.00 Green Coffee Beans $4.20

27. 2-27 Measures of Output Output Sum of value added in each sector Income Sum of payments to factors of production Expenditure Sum of expenditures on final goods and services

28. 2-28 Measures of Output Output $4.20 + $2.00 + $3.00 + $5.80 Income Payments to labor, management and capital for producing one pound of coffee Expenditure $15 final payment for pound of coffee

29. 2-29 Income = Expenditure Firms Households Goods and Services Labor and Capital

30. 2-30 Income = Expenditure Firms Households Payments for Goods and Services Payments for Labor, Capital

31. 2-31 Expenditures Consumption by individuals (C) Consumption and investment by government (G) Investment by the private sector (I) Exports (X) AD = C + G + I + X

32. 2-32 Output Domestic output (Y) Foreign imports (M) C + G + I + X = Y - M

33. 2-33 GDP and GNI GDP Output produced within a geographic location (US, Italy, etc.) GNI (Gross National Income) Output produced by citizens of a geographic region Value must be remitted back to country

34. 2-34 Example Joe Canadien, citizen of Canada, works in US and sends wages back to Canada US GDP includes Joe’s wagesCanadian GNI includes Joe’s wages

35. 2-35 GDP as welfare measure Does GDP correctly measure production? Is production a good proxy for welfare?

36. 2-36 Measurement Underground economic activity Illegal activities Tax avoidance Non-market transactions Negative consequences of production

37. 2-37 Does Output = Happiness? Is more output better? Human Development Index Table from UNDP website Table Animated comparisons Animated HDI calculator HDI Note that as countries get richer, income per capita plays smaller role

38. 2-38 Comparing HDI and GDP Figure 2.12
