2. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu What Is Gross Domestic Product? Economists monitor the macroeconomy using national income accounting, a system that collects statistics on production, income, investment, and savings.

3. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu Gross domestic product (GDP) is the dollar value of all final goods and services produced within a country’s borders in a given year. GDP does not include the value of intermediate goods. Intermediate goods are goods used in the production of final goods and services.

Chapter 12SectionMain Menu Real vs. Nominal GDP Example 2008 10 cars at $15,000 each = $150,000 10 trucks at $20,000 each = $200,000 Nominal GDP = $350,000 2009 10 cars at $16,000 each = $160,000 10 trucks at $21,000 each= $210,000 Nominal GDP = $370,000 The GDP in year 2008 shows the dollar value of all final goods produced. The nominal GDP in year 2009 is higher which suggests that the economy is improving. But how much is the REAL GDP? How do you get it? Use 2008 Prices. The Real GDP for 2009 is the same as 2008 after we adjust for inflation. 2009 10 cars at $15,000 each = $150,000 10 trucks at $20,000 each= $200,000 REAL GDP = $350,000 19

26. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu Virtual Economics Video – Business CyclesBusiness

27. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu A business cycle is a macroeconomic period of expansion followed by a period of contraction. What Is a Business Cycle? A modern industrial economy experiences cycles of goods times, then bad times, then good times again. Business cycles are of major interest to macroeconomists, who study their causes and effects.

28. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu Four Phases of the Business Cycle Expansion An expansion is a period of economic growth as measured by a rise in real GDP. Economic growth is a steady, long-term rise in real GDP. Peak When real GDP stops rising, the economy has reached its peak, the height of its economic expansion. Contraction Following its peak, the economy enters a period of contraction, an economic decline marked by a fall in real GDP. A recession is a prolonged economic contraction. ( Two consecutive quarters or 6 month of a decline in GDP) An especially long or severe recession may be called a depression. Trough The trough is the lowest point of economic decline, when real GDP stops falling.

29. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu

30. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu What Keeps the Business Cycle Going? Business cycles are affected by four main economic variables: 1 Business Investment 2.Interest Rates and Credit 3.Consumer Expectations 4. External Shocks

31. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu Forecasting Business Cycles Economists try to forecast, or predict, changes in the business cycle. Leading indicators are key economic variables economists use to predict a new phase of a business cycle. Examples of leading indicators are stock market performance, interest rates, new home sales, and manufacturers new orders of capital goods.

32. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu Lagging Indicator A lagging indicator follows the performance of the economy – an example would be the unemployment rate.

37. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu Economic Growth How do economists measure economic growth? What is capital deepening? How are saving and investing related to economic growth? How does technological progress affect economic growth? What other factors can affect economic growth?

38. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu Vocabulary Real GDP Per Capita Capital Deepening Saving Savings Rate Technological Progress

39. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu The basic measure of a nation’s economic growth rate is the percentage change of real GDP over a given period of time. Measuring Economic Growth GDP and Population Growth In order to account for population increases in an economy, economists use a measurement of real GDP per capita. It is a measure of real GDP divided by the total population. Real GDP per capita is considered the best measure of a nation’s standard of living.

40. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu What is Economic Growth? 1.An increase in real GDP over time 2.An increase in real GDP per capita over time (usually used to determine standard of living) Why is economic growth the goal of every society? Provides better goods and services Increases wages and standard of living Allows more leisure time Economy can better meet wants 40

41. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu

42. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu Capital Deepening The process of increasing the amount of capital per worker is called capital deepening. Capital deepening is one of the most important sources of growth in modern economies. Firms increase physical capital by purchasing more equipment. Firms and employees increase human capital through additional training and education.

43. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu How Saving Leads to Capital Deepening Shawna’s income: $30,000 $25,000 spent$5,000 saved Mutual-fund firm makes Shawna’s $3,000 available to firms Bank lends Shawna’s money to firms in forms such as loans and mortgages $3,000 in a mutual fund (stocks and corporate bonds) $2,000 in “rainy day” bank account Firms spend money on business capital investment The Effects of Savings and Investing The proportion of disposable income spent to income saved is called the savings rate. When consumers save or invest, money in banks, their money becomes available for firms to borrow or use. This allows firms to deepen capital. In the long run, more savings will lead to higher output and income for the population, raising GDP and living standards.

44. Chapter 12SectionMain Menu The Effects of Technological Progress Besides capital deepening, the other key source of economic growth is technological progress. Technological progress is an increase in efficiency gained by producing more output without using more inputs.
