    Study Notes

    Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

    • GDP measures a country's production and economic health.
    • Defined as the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country during a specific time period.
    • Key components of GDP include consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports.

    Investment in GDP

    • Investment spending refers to capital equipment, inventories, and structures, including residential housing.
    • Purchases of financial assets like stocks and bonds do not count as GDP spending.

    Inflation and Price Indexes

    • Inflation rate measures the percentage change in the price level from one period to another.
    • The GDP deflator is an important index to calculate inflation, showing price changes for goods and services.

    Circular-Flow Model

    • Households act as sellers in the markets for factors of production.
    • Firms are buyers in markets for goods and services, creating a cyclical exchange of money.

    Nominal vs. Real GDP

    • Nominal GDP is valued at current prices, while real GDP is adjusted for inflation and valued at constant prices.
    • The base year serves as a reference point for calculating real GDP.

    Economic Growth Measurement

    • Growth is measured by the percentage change in real GDP, indicating the economy's performance over time.

    GDP Deflator

    • The GDP deflator reflects the average price change of all goods and services included in GDP.
    • A deflator of 100 indicates that prices have remained the same as the base year.

    Expenditure Approach vs. Income Approach

    • GDP can be measured via the expenditure approach, which focuses on spending by households and firms, and the income approach, which focuses on wages and profits.
    • Both methods should yield the same GDP value.

    Investment Purchases

    • Certain purchases, such as new homes and equipment for businesses, are classified as investment spending when calculating GDP.

    Economic Transactions and GDP

    • Only new goods and services contribute to GDP; transactions such as buying used items or financial shares do not count.
    • Household spending reflects both consumption and investment, impacting GDP measurements directly.
