UNIT 2


Two ways to calculate GDP (Expenditures and Income Approach)
·        -Expenditures approach: add up all the spending on final goods and serious produced in a given year.
*** Formula: GDP=C+IG+G+Xn (exports-imports) or you can use this formula GDP=W(wages)+R(rent)+I(interest)+P(profits)+ statistical adjustment

  • Income approach: add up all the income that resulted from selling all final goods and services produced in a given year
-Compensation of employees could include wages, salaries, fringe plus
benefits, social security contributions, health, and pension play plus
rent-income of property owner of the loan
-interest is the income of that is paid by someone to the owner of the loan plus
-corporate profit that is the income of the stock holder in a corporation
proprietor’s income is income of a sole proprietor or a partnership
Method #2
  • GDP- Indirect Business Taxes – Depreciation not Foreign payment



  • Disposable personal income:National Income – Personal house hold taxes + your government Transfer payment.

                  ex: 2143-372+320=2091
                  ex: 2011-372+320=1951



  • Depreciation = consumption of fixed capital



  • Expenditures Approach
                   GDP= C+IG + G + xn
       1810 + 437+577 (2824)

              GDP= 940+220+475+(195-201)

              GDP=1629

              Budget deficit




  • GDP deflator – it is a price index use to adjust from nominal to real GDP.

Nominal GDP x 100


in the base year the GDP inflator always =100.

4 years after the base year the GDP is greater than 100

4 years before the bare years GDP deflator is less than 100


Consumer price index
It is the most commonly use measurements of inflation
-it measures cost in of a market basket of good of a typical urban American family.

Formula: cost of a market basket of goods in a given year.
CPI= of a market + basket of year intentional year

Nominal interest rate = it is the percentage increase in money, the borrower must pay the lender for a loan.
          EX: borrow 1000
Interest 5%
Pay back $1050

Nominal % rate- not adjust for inflation                                        
Real %rate – It is the percentage increase in purchasing power the borrower must pay lender for a loan (adjusted for inflation)

     Real interest Rate Nominal interest rate – inflation
Anticipated inflation – fisher Effect – How to calculated interest rate.

Excepted % rate + inflation premium

 HURT BY INFLATION         HELPED BY INFLATION
1. Savers                              1. Debaters
2. Lenders/creditors          (As students)
3. people who are on a
Fixed income (elderly,welfare)

                   Retirement 
·        Statistical adjustment includes
a.                  indirect business taxes
b.                  depreciation (consumption fixed capital)
c.                   net foreign faction payment
·        Budget is government purchase of goods and services plus government transfer payments minus government tax and fee collection
Ø  + = deficit
Ø  - = surplus
           -Trade: exports minus imports
Ø  += surplus
Ø  -= deficit

 National Income
-NI= GDP minus indirect business taxes minus deprecation minus net foreign factor payment


Disposable personal income is the national income minus government transfer payments minus personal household investment minus government transfer for 
payments

Unemployment
                             (Unemployment is the failure to use available resources particular labor to produce desired goods and services)
            -Underemployment is not when using talent, or having only part time employment (under twelve hours)
-Labor force consist of those above 16 years old, able to work
-Both the employment and unemployed falls in the labor force
Excluded  from labor
  1. Military
  2.  Students
  3. Retired People
  4. Disabled
  5.  Homeworkers
  6.  Metal Institutions
  7.        Jail/Prison
  8.      Those who are not looking for a job
-Unemployment rate is 4 to 5% equals full employment; natural rate of unemployment (NRU)
-less than 4% in the Utopia
unemployment rate= (unemployed/( employed + unemployed))  X 100          
Types of Unemployment
  •                  Frictional unemployment:searching for a job, temporarily unemployed or in between jobs
-People who fall into frictional unemployment have transferable skills
-Example: better opportunity, or high school/college graduate
  •                    Structural employment:changes in the structure of the labor force, which makes some skills and jobs obsolete
-They don’t have transferable skills
-Example: NASA Spaceship skills are non-transferable to car making
  •                  Seasonal unemployment: depends on time of year or nature of job
                                            A.)          School bus drivers
                                           B.)           Lifeguards
                                          C.)         Santa Claus/ Easter Bunny Impersonator
                                          D.)          Contractor (in pleasant weather only)
                                           E.)           Firework sellers
  •                                                  Cyclical unemployment: results from economic downturns such as recession, as demands for goods and services fall, demand for labor also falls and workers are laid off
  •                              Recession: stores are closing; people getting laid off
                                            -Anytime frictional and structural unemployment occurs equals natural unemployment (NRU)
                        *****Full employment means there is no cyclical unemployment

GDP Gap, Okun’s Law, and Rule of 70
  • GDP gap, it is the amount by which actual GDP falls short of potential GDP
  • Okun’s Law states for every 1% in which actually unemployment rates exceed the NRU a GDP gap of about 2% exists
*****Example: In 2012, the unemployment rate for Mexico was 7.4% the NRU for Mexico is 6%
(1.4%) (2) =2.8% loss of potential GDP
Rule of 70: is used to determine how many years it takes for a value to double given a particular annual growth rate
******Example: If you put $20,000 in the bank, and it earns a yearly interest of 7% how many years will it take for your income to double?

Solution: 70 over 7%= 10 years
