    Study Notes

    Economic Growth

    • Economic growth represents an increase in the production of goods and services in an economy over a specific period. It's typically measured by the percentage change in real gross domestic product (GDP).

    Nominal GDP vs. Real GDP

    • Nominal GDP measures the total value of goods and services produced in an economy at current market prices. It includes the impact of inflation.
    • Real GDP measures the total value of goods and services produced, adjusted for inflation. It provides a more accurate representation of changes in output.
    • The difference: Nominal GDP reflects both changes in quantity and prices, while real GDP isolates the change in quantity.

    Components of Aggregate Demand (AD)

    • Aggregate Demand (AD) is the total demand for goods and services in an economy at a given price level.
    • It consists of Consumption (C), Investment (I), Government Spending (G), and Net Exports (NX) (Exports - Imports).
    • Formula: AD = C + I + G + NX

    Derived Demand for Labor

    • Derived demand for labor means the demand for labor is driven by the demand for the goods and services labor produces. If demand for a product increases, the demand for labor to produce that product also increases.
    • It isn't a direct demand for labor itself, but rather an indirect demand based on the market need for the product or service.

    Importance of Economic Growth

    • Economic growth leads to higher incomes and improved living standards.
    • It increases job creation and reduces unemployment.
    • It strengthens a nation's international competitiveness and global influence.
    • It facilitates investment in infrastructure and technological advancement, leading to greater productivity and future growth.
