Study Notes
Macroeconomics
- Studies the economy as a whole
- GNP: Measures income earned by Americans, including those both in and outside the U.S.
- GNPUS = GDPUS + (American income abroad - foreign income in US)
- GDP: Measures the total value of all final goods and services produced within a country during a specific period.
- GDP = (P1 * Q1) + (P2 * Q2) + ... + (Px * Qx)
- P = price
- Q = quantity of goods
- GDP comprises final goods (intended for the end user) and excludes intermediate goods (components used to make other products).
- GDP also includes both tangible and intangible goods
Income and Expenditure
- GDP measures total expenditure on goods and services within a country's borders.
- It provides information on a country's economic performance.
- However, it does not always reflect how wealth is distributed amongst different parts of the population.
