12
The Flow of Income Approach 9-12 GDP (Gross Domestic Product) -Depreciation NDP (Net Domestic Product) Why is NDP better than GDP Country North Atlantis South Atlantis GDP 500 500 - Depreciation 50 100 NDP 450 400 North Atlantis is better off because it had a higher NDP! South Atlantis had a lower NDP because it had to devote more of its resources to replacing worn out and obsolete equipment. These resources could not go toward additional plant and equipment nor could they even be used for more consumer goods. Copyright 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

The Flow of Income Approach 9-13 GDP (Gross Domestic Product) - Depreciation NDP (Net Domestic Product) - Indirect business taxes and subsidies DI (Domestic Income) Indirect business taxes and subsidies are mainly general sales taxes on specific items such as gasoline, liquor and cigarettes, and subsidies (such as government payments to farmers).

Two Things to Avoid When Compiling GDP Multiple counting –Only expenditures on final products – what consumers, businesses, and government units buy for their own use belong in GDP Intermediate goods are not counted Used goods are not counted Transfer payments –Transfer payments are not payments for currently produced goods and services When they are spent for final goods and services they will go into GDP as consumer spending Financial transactions do not go into GDP 9-22 Copyright 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

9-23 The Value-added Approach to Measuring GDP Production Generated Added Farmer harvest wheat $100 $100 Miller makes into flour 200 100 Baker makes into bread 300 100 $600 $300 GDP counts only the $ value of the final good This is the same as the “value-added.” Copyright 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

GDP versus Real GDP (RGDP) $8 $9 $10 $11 1998 1999 2000 2001 GDP is the Price RGDP is the pie GDP is measured in current dollars. Therefore it appears as if GDP was larger in 2001 than in previous years. To make year-to-year GDP comparisons, we have to get rid of inflation 9-24 Copyright 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

9-49 Copyright 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. International comparisons for per capita GDP are at least somewhat suspect because of varying national income accounting systems as well as fluctuations of foreign exchange rates

Shortcomings of GDP as a Measure of National Economic Well-being Production that is excluded –Household production –Illegal production –The underground economy –Bartering (exchange of services) –Pirated CDs and Videos Treatment of leisure time –While the average workweek has declined, many more mothers with young children work –1960 79 percent of all families with children had one stay-at- home parent. Now this has fallen to just 28 percent Human cost and benefits GDP gives us a “ballpark” idea of how much we produce, not necessarily how well off we are 9-50 Copyright 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
51
When a large part of our production goes toward national defense, police protection, pollution control devices, repair and replacement of poorly made cars and appliances, and cleanups of oil spills, a large GDP is not a good indicator of how we’re doing In general, the problem with using GDP as a measure of national economic well-being is that GDP is just one number, and no single number can possibly provide us with all of the information we need What Goes into GDP 9-51 Copyright 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
52
The Last Word on GDP GDP includes some things that really shouldn’t be counted GDP has excluded some things that should be counted Nevertheless, if we can accept GDP while acknowledging all of its limitations, it serves us well 9-52 Copyright 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
