Q

Sum of Val added method of calc GDP

what is value added?
what is the idea?
what is the formula?
QUIRK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A

VALUE ADDED: extra market value a firm gives a product

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT A FIRM BOUGHT THE (intermediate) GOOD FOR and the price it sells it for

VAL ADDED= VAL OF PRODUCTION- VAL OF INTERIM GOOD

QUIRK:: look at each firm individually!! do even the intermediate goods have intermediate good? each get own formula application

Q

Total Spending/Expenditure approach calc gdp

A

GDP can be emasured by total spending on g/d by households, firms, govt, and world

17
Q

4 components of GDP

A

C+I+G+X-Q
C+I+G+NX

Consumption : spending by households on g/s
Investment: purchase of capital by firms
Government spending: govt spending on consumption goods and capital
Net Exports: spending by rest of the world (EXPORTS-IMPORTS)

X= IMPORTS
Q=IMPORTS

18
Q

Investment- 3 types, inventory formula

A

spending by firms on capital (goods that will be used in the future to produce more goods)

non-residential (machines, tools)
residential (factories, offices)
inventroy (goods produced but not sold yet)

INVENTORY= PRODUCTION- SALES

19
Q

Consumption
-what’s a durable good

A

spenidng on goods and services

even “DURABLE” goods, long lasting goods like washing machines

20
Q

Inventory formula+ meaning

A

Inventory= Production- Sales

Positive #: Inventory investment positive
Negative #: Invenotry investment negative

21
Q

Government Spending

WHAT DOES THIS NOT INCLUDE

A

total spednign by all branches of government

DOES NOT INCLUDE GOVT SPENDING THAT DOESNT PRODUCE NEW GOOD OR SERVICE (dont include govt transfers/EI/social program)

22
Q

Net Exports (X-Q)

A

Exports-Imports

exports: g/s produced in caanada that will be consumed by people in other countries
Imports: g/d produced outside canada that consumed domestically

Exports> Imports Trade surplus
Exports< Imports Trade deficit

23
Q

Gross National Income (GNI)

A

value of incomes recieved by Canadians regardless of where they were located

(Canadians working in foregin countries)
(canadian business operating overseas)

24
Q

GNI formula

A

GNI= GDP + income recieved by Canadians outside Canada - income recieved by foreginers in canada

25
shortcomings of gdp
household production underground econ barter transactions and unpaid labour
26
household production
g/d people produce for thesemlves undergroun econ: black market barter/unpaid: services that people prodive for in-kind paymentrs or for free
27
why is gdp not a perfect measure of well being
DOES NOT INCLUDE LEISURE VALUE not adjusted for pollution or negative effect of production IGNORED HOW INCOME IS DISTRIBUTED
28
Growth rate formula
Last-First/First x 100
29
HOw to get average growth rate
get growth rate of every year average out the growth rates
30
Rule of 70
of years to double value = 70/ annual growth rate how many years will it take to double the value
31
REAL gdp vs Nominal gdp
Nominal gdp: value of final goods and services evaluated at current year prices INCREASES OVER TIME DUE TO PRICE/ PRODUCTION INCREASE Real: value of final goods services calculated at base-year prices!!
32
Why is nominal gdp not the best,
nominal gdo comes from the (PxQ) formula, so if Pp or Q goes up then nominal gdp also goes up!!!!!!!! easily affected
33
why is real gdp the best
by keepign prices constatn, changes in real gdp represent the chang ien the quantity of g/s producedi n economy as long as you have one constant base year then every growth rate will be the same !! you are fixing prices so only PRODUCTION CAN BE DIFFERENTTTTTTTTTTTT
34
REAL GDP VS NOMINAL GDP MAIN DIFF
NOMINAL GDP: P x Q (neither is fixed) REAL GDP: P x Q but P is fixed in base year!!!!
35
MAJOR THING ABOUT EXPENDITURE APPROACH
CONSIDER WHEN THINGS ARE BOUGHT (bc this one is about spending)!!! instead of focusing when things are produced
36
Why are transfer paymetns and social programs not included in Government spending
they add no value
37
why do all 4 methods equal the same value of gdp
because of circular flow diagram!!! the money is the same it is jus moving hands
38
When graphed on a line chart -what does it mean when rela gdp is increasing!!! -nominal gdp increasing -when real gdp is higher than nominal -when nominal and real gdp cross
=If real GDP is increasing CAN ONLY mean increase in production =If nominal GDP is increasing COULD mean increase in production or prices =If real GDP is higher than nominal GDP, means that Production is higher and Price is lower =Nominal and Real GDP cross when it is the selected Base year
