Calculating GDP

Budget- Government purchases of goods/ services + government transfer payments- government tax and fee collection.

  • Postie= Deficit
  • Negative= Surplus

Trade- Exports - Imports

  • Positive= Surplus 
  • Negative= Deficit
National Income
  • Compensation of Employees + Rents + Interest + Corporate Profits + Proprietor's income
  • GDP - Indirect Business Taxes - Depreciation - net Foreign Factor Payment
Disposable Personal Income: National Income - Personal Household Taxes + Government Transfer Payments

Net Domestic Product (NDP): GDP - Depreciation 

Net National Product (NNP): GNP - Depreciation

GNP: GDP + net Foreign Factor Payment

Nominal and Real GDP
  • Nominal GDP: The value of output produced in current year prices
    • Price x Quanity
    • Can increase from year to year if either price or quantity increase
    • If we wanted to measure an increase in prices (inflation), use nominal GDP
  • Real GDP
    • Price x Quanity
    • Adjusted for Inflation
    • Used to measure economic growth
    • Can Increase from year to year only if output increases
GDP Deflator- Price index used to adjust from nominal to real GDP
  • (Nominal GDP/ Real GDP) x 100
  • In base year, GDP deflator always =100
  • For years after base year, GDP Deflator > 100
  • For years before base year, GDP Deflator < 100
Consumer Price Index(CPI)- Most commonly used measurement of inflation
  • Measures the cost of a market basket of goods of typical urban American family
  • (Cost of a Market Basket of goods in a given year/ Cost of a Market Basket of goods in the base year) x 100
Inflation Rate- ((Price Index in year 2 - Price Index in year 1)/ Price Index in year 1) x 100

Nominal Interest Rate-% increase in money where the borrower must pay the lender for a loan
  • NOT adjusted for inflation
  • Expected interest rate + Inflation premium
  • Unanticipated Inflation 
Real Interest Rate- % increase in purchasing power where the borrower must pay the lender for a loan
  • Adjusted for inflation
  • Nominal Interest Rate - Inflation
    • Fisher Effect
  • Anticipated Inflation
