2. MAXIMIZING NATIONAL OUTPUT= NATIONAL
INCOME= GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP)
GDP is the market value of all final goods and services produced in a country in a
given time period.
1. Market Value= market price of products
2. Final Goods and Services:
A final good (or service) is an item bought by its final user during a specified time period.
A final good contrasts with an intermediate good, which is an item that is produced by one firm,
bought by another firm, and used as a component of a final good or service. Excluding the value of
intermediate goods and services avoids counting the same value more than once.
3. Produced Within a Country (inside the country border no matter what is the nationality of
producer). GDP measures production within a country—domestic production.
GDP MEASURES THE COUNTRY’S ABILITY TO USE ITS RESOURCES EFFICIENTLY
THAT IS THE REASON BEHIND ENCOURAGING FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT2. MAXIMIZING NATIONAL OUTPUT= NATIONAL
INCOME= GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP)
GDP is the market value of all final goods and services produced in a country in a
given time period,
GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT (GNP)
GNP is the money value of final goods and services produced by citizens (holding nationality)
inside and outside the country during a specific period of time.
GNP MEASURES THE INVESTMENT CAPABILITY OF A CERTIAN COUNTRYHOW TO MEASURE GDP?
I HAVE TO APPROACHES TO MEASURE GDP.
1, EXPENDITURE APPROACH 2 INCOME APPROACH
1. RENT (R)
1. CONSUMPTION (C) 35-45% 2. WAGES(W)
2. INVESTMENT (I) 3. INTEREST
3. GOVERNMENT SPENDING (6) 4. PROFIT (P)
4. NET EXPORT(NX)
[EXPORTS-IMPORTS]
GDP= C+I+G+NX — GDP= R+W+INTEREST+ P
GDP CALCULATED ACCORDING TO THE TWO
SHADOW ECONOMY IS APPROACHES CHOULD BE EQUAL, HOWEVER
LEGAL ACTIVITIES THAT THERE IS SHADOW OR INFORMAL OR
ARE NOT DOCUMENTED PARALLEL ECONOMYPotential GDP versus Real GDP
a
WHAT I EXPECT TO PRODUCE WITH WHAT IS PRODUCED ACTUALLY AT
FULL USE OF RESOURCES AND PAST THE END OF THE YEAR
EXPERIENCE AT THE BEGINNING OF
THE YEAR
ECONOMIC GAP
The GAP is the difference between Real GDP and Potential GDP. There are three conditions for
the GAP.
1.NoGAP _ Real GDP= Potential GDP
There is full use of resources
2. Real GDP< Potential GDP
There is a large amount of unused resources. It is called Recessionary Gap
3, Real GDP> Potential GDP
If the difference is small, then there is expansion. If the difference is large ,It is called
Inflationary GAP.USES OF GDP (REAL GDP= RGDP)
1, CALCULATE PER CAPITA GDP
STEP 1: CALCULATE GDP IN NATIONAL CURRENCY
STEP 2: TRANSFER GDP FROM NATIONAL CURRENCY TO US DOLLARS
STEP3: CALCULATE PER CAPITA GDP
PER CAPITA GDP= RGDP($)/ TOTAL POPULATION
IN REAL LIFE IT DOES NOT REFLECT STANDARD OF LIVING
TO SOLVE THIS I HAVE TO CONCENTRATE ON ENCOURAGING SMALL MEDIUM
ENTERPRISESUSES OF GDP (REAL GDP= RGDP)
2. CALCULATE ECONOMIC GROWTH
I HAVE TO GET RGDP FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS
ECONOMIC GROWTH RATE 2021= RGDP 2021- RGDP 2020/ RGDP 2020 +1003, REDUCING RATE OF UNEMPLOYMENT
UNEMPLOYMENT IS PEOPLE IN WORKING AGE WHO ARE WILLING (SEARCHING FOR A JOB)
AND ABLE (DOES NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL OR MENTAL DISABILITY) TO WORK BUT CAN NOT
FIND A JOB
HOW TO CALCULATE UNEMPLOYMENT
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE= UNEMPLOYED/ LABOUR FORCE*100
LABOUR FORCE= PEOPLE IN WORKING AGE= UNEMLOYED+ EMPLOYED
TYPES OF UNEMPLOYEMENT
Unemployment can be Classified into three types:
1. Frictional unemployment= HIGH EMPLOYEE TURNOVER
2. Structural unemployment= MISMATCH BETWEEN EMPLOYEE QUALIFICATIONS AND JOB
DESCRIPTION
3. Cyclical OR Seasonal unemployment: linked to business cycle or season4, REDUCING RATE OF INFLATION
CPI BIAS
1. New goods bias= NEW GOODS ENTERED THE
BASKET
2. Quality change bias= BUY DIFFERENT PRODUCT
Quatity
3. Commodity substitution bias= TRANSFER TO
SUBSTITITUTE PRODUCTS
4. Outlet substitution bias= CHANGING RETAILERS.
INFLATION IS A RAPID INCREASE IN PRICE LEVEL
OPPOSITE OF IT
DEFLATION IS A RAPID DECREASE IN PRICE LEVEL
HOW TO CALCULATE INFLATION?
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI)
CPI measures the average of the prices
paid by average consumers for a “fixed”
basket of consumer goods and services.
INFLATION RATE 2020= CP12020- CPI2019/CPI2019*100MONEY
Money is any commodity or token that is generally acceptable as a means of payment.
A means of payment is a method of settling a debt.
Money has three other functions:
1. Medium of exchange
2. Unit of account
3. Store of value
Money consists of
1. Currency
2. Deposits at banks and other depository institutions
Official Measures of Money
The two main official measures of money are M1 and M2.
M1 consists of currency and traveler’s checks and checking deposits owned by individuals and
businesses.
M2 consists of M1 plus time, saving deposits, money market mutual funds, and other deposits. _,EXCHANGE RATE MARKET
The foreign exchange market is the market in which the currency of one country is
exchanged for the currency of another.
The price at which one currency exchanges for another is called a foreign exchange rate.
A fall in the value of one currency in terms of another currency is called currency
depreciation.
A rise in value of one currency in terms of another currency is called currency appreciation.
