Expenditure and income

Total expenditure on domestically produce nals goods and services (the circular ow)

Value added
Is the value of outputs minus the value of the intermediate goods used to produce that output
Initial value added, more value added, the nal amount goes to de GDP

GDP
Value of nal goods produced or the sum of value added at all stages of production

The expenditure components of GDP


▫ Consumption (C)
▫ Investment (I)
▫ Government spending (G)
▫ Net exports (NX)

Y=C + I + G + NX = aggregate expenditure

Consumption
The value of all goods and services bought by households including:
🥕 Durable goods
🥕 No durable goods
🥕 Services

Investment
Spending on capital like a physical asset used in the future production including
🏛 Business xed investment (plant and equipment)
🏛 Residencial xed investment (households)
🏛 Inventory investment (change in value of all rms inventories)

Government spending
It’s all government spending on goods and services for example:
📂 Education
📂 Infrastructure
📂 Health
📂 Social development
📂 Transfer payments

Net exports
Di erence between exports and imports
💰 Exports: the value of goods and services sold from other countries
💰 Imports: the value of goods and services purchased from other countries
NX equals net spending from abroad on our g&s

GDP measures:
Total income
Total output
Total expenditure
The sum of value added at all stages in the production of nal goods

GDP is the value of all nal goods and services produced


The NOMINAL GDP measures these values using current prices while REAL GDP measures
these values using the prices of a base year.

The nominal gdp is calculated by multiplying quantity by price (Q x P)


2019: 900*30 = 27,000 + 192*100 = 19,200 = 46,200
2020: 1,000*31 = 31,000 + 200*102 = 20,400 = 51,400
2021: 1,050*206 = 37,000 + 205*100 = 20,500 = 58,300

The Real gdp is calculated by the price of the base year by the quantity of the new year
2019: 900*30 = 27,000 + 192*100 = 19,200 = 46,200
2020: 1,000*30 = 30,000 + 200*100= 20,000 = 50,000
2021: 1,050*30 = 31,500 + 205*100 = 20,500 = 52,000

For the growth rate real gdp minus last year real gdp divided by last year real gdp and
multiplied by 100
Growth rate for
2020 = ((50,000 - 46,200)/46,200)*100) = 8.225
2021 = ((52,000 - 50,000)/50,000)*100) = 4.0

Inflation rate and GDP deflator


The inflation rate is the percentage increase in the overall level of prices this one is calculated
by (this year gdp de ator minus the base year gdp de ator) divided by 100) and all of that
multiplied by 100
One measure of the price level is the GDP deflator

GDP de ator = 100 x (nominal GDP/ real GDP)
