The GDP Gross Domestic Product
Total market value of all final goods and services in a given year

Detroit2. Hondas produced by a Japanese-owned factory in Ohio

GDP includes all goods and services produced within the country
Gives a Monetary Measure
Year 1: Produce 3 iPods and 2 ZunesYear 2: Produce 2 iPods and 3 Zunes
Which year has a greater output?
Need a price tag!
GDP is based on a monetary measure to gain an accurate measure of economic output
2 Rules of GDP1. Avoid Multiple Counting:
Only accounts for Final Goods
Final Goods/Services:example: Any retail good
Intermediate G/S:example: Peanuts sold from Bob the farmer to Jiffy to make peanut butter
If both transactions were counted in the GDP we would have multiple counting
2 Rules of GDP
Public Transfer Payments SS, Welfare
Private Transfer Payments
Cash for B-day Stocks/Bonds
Do not create production
In reality…. They are just slips of paper!
Sell your ‘03 Toyota Camry to your best friend
……..Just don’t tell them about the brakes……
Financial Transactions Second Hand Sales
2. Excluded Nonproduction Transactions
Two ‘Faces’ of GDP
a.k.a. Output approach
Sum of all money spent
a.k.a. Allocations approach
Sum of income created during production
Expenditure Approach Income Approach
• In general, buying (spending money) and selling (receiving income) are two aspects of the same transactions
Expenditures Approach
GDP= C + Ig + G + Xn
GDP= C+ ………Personal Consumption
Durable consumer goods Cars, appliances, electronics
Nondurable consumer goods Bread, milk, pencils, toothpaste
Consumer Expenditures for Services Lawyers, doctors, barbers
GDP=. . . Ig+. . . Gross Private Domestic Investment
1. Final purchases of machinery, equipment, tools2. All construction
Both residential and nonresidential construction
Why is residential construction not counted in consumption?
Houses could be rented to bring in an income return
3. Changes in inventory Including unsold goods… “unconsumed output”
. . . More about Investment Not counted in investment
Stocks/bonds Resale of tangible goods (houses)
So how does a Realtors Commission fit in? Is it included in GDP?
counted as CONSUMPTION (service)
Overall…. Investment deals with the creation of new capital
GDP=. . . G+. . . Government purchases
“Government consumption expenditures” All government expenditures on final goods
Service- costs for public goods Social capital- highways, schools
What is not counted in G? Transfer payments
GDP= . . . Xn
Net Exports (International Trade)
Net Exports (Xn)= Exports (X) – Imports (M)
