calculating GDP

• Quality of life and GDP

I. Introduction and definition of the GDP
National income can be defined in various ways. The GDP defintion
is the most usual.
GDP =
• market value
• marketed goods vs. non-marketed goods:
• final goods and services
• produced
•within a country:

II. 2 ways of measuring GDP:
1. expenditure method of calculating GDP:
GDP = Y =
C = consumption expenditure,
I = investment expenditure,
G = Government expenditure,
X = exports,
M = imports
3
2. income method of calculating GDP
add “value-added” by all firms together;
value-added =
sum of value added by all firms =

III. Other ways of defining National Income

Gross National Product (GNP)

Disposable Personal Income

•
Gross national product (GNP) is the total income
•
It differs from GDP by
•
Net National Product (NNP) is the total income of
•
Depreciation is the wear and tear on the economy’s
NNP is an useful measure because

Income (NI) is the total income earned by a nation’s
differs from NNP by excluding
this is excluded because
•Personal
income (PI) is the total earnings that
Unlike national income, it excludes
In addition, it includes
8
•
Disposable personal income (DI) is the income
It equals personal income minus

IV. Adjusting GDP for inflation
Recap: GDP is measured at market prices which fluctuate form
period to period
Real GDP:
Nominal GDP:

Real and Nominal GDP
Calculating Nominal GDP:
2001
($1 per hot dog x 100 hot dogs) + ($2 per hamburger x 50 hamburgers) = $200
2002
($2 per hot dog x 150 hot dogs) + ($3 per hamburger x 100 hamburgers) = $600
2003
($3 per hot dog x 200 hot dogs) + ($4 per hamburger x 150 hamburgers) = $1200
12
Real and Nominal GDP
Calculating Real GDP (base year 2001):
2001
($1 per hot dog x 100 hot dogs) + ($2 per hamburger x 50 hamburgers) = $200
2002
($1 per hot dog x 150 hot dogs) + ($2 per hamburger x 100 hamburgers) = $350
2003
($1 per hot dog x 200 hot dogs) + ($2 per hamburger x 150 hamburgers) = $500
13
Real and Nominal GDP
Calculating the GDP Deflator:
2001
($200/$200) x 100 = 100
2002
($600/$350) x 100 = 171
2003
($1200/$500) x 100 = 240

V. Quality of life vs. GDP
GDP is positively correlated with but not identical to economic wellbeing.
Factors that creates a difference between the two:
