    Study Notes

    Measuring Domestic Output and National Income

    • GDP is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.
    • Final goods and services are goods and services purchased by ultimate users, rather than for resale or further processing.
    • Intermediate goods and services are goods and services used as inputs in the production of other goods and services.
    • GDP excludes intermediate goods and services to avoid double-counting.
    • Value added is the difference between the value of a firm's output and the value of the inputs it purchases from other firms.
    • Value added can be determined by subtracting the purchase of intermediate products from the value of the sales of final products.
    • GDP can be measured using the expenditure approach or the income approach.
    • The expenditure approach to GDP is calculated as GDP = C + I + G + NX, where C is consumption spending, I is investment spending, G is government spending, and NX is net exports.
    • Net exports are defined as a nation's exports less its imports.
    • The income approach to GDP is calculated as GDP = Wages + Rental income + Interest + Profits + Depreciation + Taxes on production and imports.
    • National income is the total income earned by resource suppliers in a country in a given period of time.
    • Disposable income is the amount of income that households and non-profit institutions have left after paying taxes and non-tax payments.
    • Nominal GDP is the value of GDP at current prices.
    • Real GDP is the value of GDP at constant prices.
    • A price index measures the average level of prices for a basket of goods and services in a given year relative to a base year.
    • Using a price index, we can adjust nominal GDP to get real GDP.
    • Real GDP is an adjusted measure of the value of goods and services produced that reflects changes in price levels.
    • Economic investment includes any increase in business inventories.

    Economic Investment

    • Economic investment is spending on new capital goods, such as buildings and equipment.
    • It includes any spending on inventories.

    Other Key Points

    • Government transfer payments are not counted in GDP.
    • GDP is not a perfect measure of economic well-being.
    • GDP does not take into account the distribution of income, the value of leisure, or the quality of the environment.
