This document provides an introduction to macroeconomics. It discusses key macroeconomic concepts like the sectors of the national economy (households, business firms, government, foreign), GDP, and how GDP is calculated using the income and expenditure approaches. The circular flow of resources and money between these sectors is a major tool for analyzing economic performance. Macroeconomics examines measures like GDP, employment, inflation, and trade to understand the overall economy.

Foreign sector INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS MACROECONOMICS 1. Households Households provide their labor, land, capital, and other human skills to the resource market and in return, they get money income (rent, wage, interest, profit, etc) from the resource market. INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS MACROECONOMICS 2. Business Firms Businesses incur costs to collect resources from the factor market (resource markets). So resource markets get money from the businesses and in return resource market supply required resources to the business. These resources are used to produce goods and services to deliver to the economy. INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS MACROECONOMICS 2. Business Firms
On the other hand, a business sells its goods and
services to the product market, in return businesses generate revenue from the product market. INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS MACROECONOMICS 1.

Government The government also collects resources from the resource market and goods and services from the product markets for this government have to incur expenditures that are got by the resource market participants. INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS MACROECONOMICS 4. Foreign Sector This application for an open economy where export and import of goods and services are involved. Through export, product markets will supply products and services for profit, and for the import of goods and services for the product market we have to incur expenditures. With export foreign expenditures are involved and with import domestic expenditures are involved. INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS MACROECONOMICS 4. Foreign Sector
These all participants exchange their required resources
with each other to ensure proper utilization of resources and a fluent flow of goods and services. INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS MACROECONOMICS A business uses inputs from its suppliers to produce outputs to sell to its buyers. The output of a business are the goods and services it sells to customers. The inputs are the goods and services the business uses to produce the out put.

INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS SIGNIFICANCE OF MACROECONOMICS National Growth Domestic Product (GDP) The price of all goods and services produced by a domestic economy for a year at current market prices. INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS SIGNIFICANCE OF MACROECONOMICS Real Growth Domestic Product (GDP) The price of all goods and services produced by the economy at price level adjusted (constant) prices. Price level adjustment eliminates the effect of inflation on the measure. INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS SIGNIFICANCE OF MACROECONOMICS Potential Growth Domestic Product (GDP) The maximum amount of production that could take place in an economy without putting pressure on the general level of prices. The difference between potential GDP and real GDP is called GDP gap. INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS SIGNIFICANCE OF MACROECONOMICS Potential Growth Domestic Product (GDP) GDP gap when it is positive, it indicates that there are unemployed resources in the economy and we would expect unemployment. INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS SIGNIFICANCE OF MACROECONOMICS Potential Growth Domestic Product (GDP) GDP gap, alternatively, when it is negative, it indicates that the economy is running above normal capacity and prices should begin to rise. INTODUCTION TO MACROECONOMICS SIGNIFICANCE OF MACROECONOMICS Net Domestic Product (NDP) GDP minus depreciation.
Gross National Product (GNP)
