Study Notes
Measuring Economic Activity: GDP
- GDP can be calculated using three methods: production method, expenditure method, and income method
- The production method calculates GDP by adding up the value added at each stage of production
- The expenditure method calculates GDP by adding up all spending on final goods and services
- The income method calculates GDP by adding up all incomes earned by factors of production
- GDP is not a perfect measure of economic wellbeing
- GDP does not account for non-market activities, externalities, or the distribution of income
- GDP can be measured at three prices: market prices, basic prices, and factor cost
- GDP at market prices is used in the expenditure method
- GDP at basic prices is used in the production method
- GDP at factor cost is used in the income method
- GDP at market prices can be converted to GDP at basic prices by adding subsidies and subtracting taxes on products
- GDP at basic prices can be converted to GDP at factor cost by adding other subsidies and subtracting other taxes on production
- GDP can be measured at current prices (nominal GDP) or constant prices (real GDP)
- Nominal GDP reflects the change in prices over time
- Real GDP accounts for inflation by using prices from a base year
- Real GDP growth reflects the change in the volume of output, while nominal GDP growth reflects the change in both the volume of output and prices
