Macroeconomics
宏观经济学
 Macroeconomics is the study of the
economy as a whole.
宏观经济学研究整体经济。
 Its goal is to explain the economic changes
that affect many households, firms, and
markets at once.
宏观经济学的目标是解释同时影响许多
家庭、企业和市场的经济变化。
Macroeconomics
 Macroeconomics answers questions

like the following:
 Why is average income high in some
countries and low in others?
 Why do prices rise rapidly in some time
periods while they are more stable in others?
 Why do production and employment expand
in some years and contract in others?
宏观经济学
 宏观经济学回答以下问题：
 为什么一些国家平均收入高，而另一些国
家平均收入低 ?
 为什么一些时期物价上升迅速，而另一些
时期物价较为稳定 ?
 为什么一些年份生产和就业扩大，而另一
些年份收缩？
The Economy’s Income and Expenditure
经济的收入与支出
When judging whether the economy is

doing well or poorly, it is natural to look
at the total income that everyone in the
economy is earning.
当判断经济富裕还是贫穷时，观察经济
中所有人赚到的总收入是自然而然的。
The Economy’s Income and Expenditure
经济的收入与支出
 For an economy as a whole, income must
equal expenditure because:
对一个整体经济而言，收入必定等于支出
，因为：
 Every transaction has a buyer and a seller.
每一次交易都有买者和卖者。
 Every dollar of spending by some buyer is a
dollar of income for some seller.
某个买者的 1 美元支出就是某个卖者的 1 美元收
入
The Measurement of Gross
Domestic Product
 Gross domestic product (GDP) is a
measure of the income and
expenditures of an economy.
 It is the total market value of all
final goods and services produced
within a country in a given period
of time.
国内生产总值的衡量
 国内生产总值 (GDP) 衡量一个经

济体的收入和支出。
 国内生产总值 (GDP) 是在某一既
定时期一个国家内生产的所有最终
商品（物品）与服务（劳务）的市
场价值。
The Measurement of Gross Domestic Product
The equality of income and

expenditure can be illustrated with
the circular-flow diagram.
收入等于支出可以由经济循环图来

Real versus Nominal GDP
实际 GDP 与名义 GDP
 Nominal GDP values the production of

goods and services at current prices.
名义 GDP—— 按现期价格计算的物品
与劳务产出的价值量。
 Real GDP values the production of goods
and services at constant prices.
实际 GDP—— 按不变的基年价格计算
的物品与劳务产出的价值量。
Real versus Nominal GDP
实际 GDP 与名义 GDP
An accurate view of the economy

requires adjusting nominal to real
GDP by using the GDP deflator.
如果想对经济有一个更准确的理解，
需要用 GDP 平减指数将名义 GDP 转
换成实际 GDP 。

Table 2 Real and Nominal GDP 实际与名义 GDP
计算名义 GDP:
2001 ($1/ 个热狗 X 100 个） + （ $2/ 个汉堡 X 50 个）＝￥ 200
2002 ($2/ 个热狗 X 150 个） + （ $3/ 个汉堡 X 100 个）＝￥ 600
2003 ($3/ 个热狗 X 200 个） + （ $4/ 个汉堡 X 150 个）＝￥ 1200
计算实际 GDP （基年为 2001 年） :

2001 ($1/ 个热狗 X 100 个） + （ $2/ 个汉堡 X 50 个）＝￥ 200
2002 ($1/ 个热狗 X 150 个） + （ $2/ 个汉堡 X 100 个）＝￥ 350
2003 ($1/ 个热狗 X 200 个） + （ $2/ 个汉堡 X 150 个）＝￥ 500
GDP Deflator GDP 平减指数
 The GDP deflator measures the current level of

prices relative to the level of prices in the base year.
GDP 平减指数衡量相对于基年价格的现期物价水平。
 It tells us the rise in nominal GDP that is
attributable to a rise in prices rather than a rise in
the quantities produced.
GDP 平减指数说明在名义 GDP 增长中，多少归因
于价格的上升而不是产量的增加。
GDP Deflator GDP 平减指数
The GDP deflator is calculated as follows:

GDP 平减指数计算如下：
Nominal GDP
GDP deflator =  100
Real GDP
Converting Nominal GDP to Real GDP
将名义 GDP 转换成实际 GDP
Nominal GDP is converted to real GDP as

follows:
转换如下：
(Nominal GDP20xx )
Real GDP20xx = X 100
(GDP deflator20xx )
计算 GDP 平减指数：
2001 （ $200/$200) X 100 = 100
2002 （ $600/$350) X 100 = 171
2003 （ $1200/$500) X 100 = 240

GDP 是社会经济福利一个最好的衡量指标。
 GDP per person tells us the income and
expenditure of the average person in the
economy.
人均 GDP 告诉我们经济中每个人的平均收
入与支出。

 Higher GDP per person indicates a higher

standard of living.
较高的人均 GDP 说明较高的生活水平。

happiness or quality of life, however.

 Some things that contribute to well-being

are not included in GDP.
 The value of leisure.
 The value of a clean environment.
 The value of almost all activity that takes
place outside of markets, such as the value of
the time parents spend with their children
and the value of volunteer work.

 闲暇的价值。
 清洁环境的价值。

Summary
 Because every transaction has a buyer and

a seller, the total expenditure in the
economy must equal the total income in
the economy.
 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures
an economy’s total expenditure on newly
produced goods and services and the total
income earned from the production of
these goods and services.
小结
 由于每一次交易都有买者与卖者，所以
，经济中的总支出必定等于经济中的总
收入。
 国内生产总值 (GDP) 衡量经济用于新
生产的物品与劳务的总支出，以及生产
这些物品与劳务所赚到的总收入。
Summary
 GDP is the market value of all final

goods and services produced within a
country in a given period of time.
 GDP is divided among four
components of expenditure:
consumption, investment, government
purchases, and net exports.
小结
 GDP 是一个国家之内在某一既定时
期生产的所有最终物品与劳务的市
场价值。
 GDP 分为四个组成部分：消费、投
资、政府购买和净出口。
Summary
 Nominal GDP uses current prices to

value the economy’s production. Real
GDP uses constant base-year prices to
value the economy’s production of goods
and services.
 The GDP deflator--calculated from the
ratio of nominal to real GDP--measures
the level of prices in the economy.
小结
 名义 GDP 用现期价格来评价经济
中物品与劳务的生产。实际 GDP 用
不变的基年价格来评价经济中物品与
劳务的生产。
 GDP 平减指数——用名义 GDP 与
实际 GDP 的比率计算——衡量经济
的物价水平。
Summary
 GDP is a good measure of economic

well-being because people prefer
higher to lower incomes.
 It is not a perfect measure of well-
being because some things, such as
leisure time and a clean environment,
aren’t measured by GDP.
小结
 GDP 是经济福利的一个良好衡量指
标，因为人们对高收入的偏好大于
低收入。
 但是 GDP 并不是衡量福利的一个完
美指标，因为 GDP 不包括闲暇的价
值和清洁的环境的价值。
