MACRO ECONOMICS 2

Macroeconomics is the study of the large economy as a whole. It is the study of the big picture. Instead of analyzing one consumer, we analyze everyone. Instead of one business we study all businesses. What is Macroeconomics? Why study the whole economy? The field of macroeconomics was born during the Great Depression. Government didn’t understand how to fix a depressed economy with 25% unemployment. Macro was created to: 1.Measure the health of the whole economy. 2.Guide government policies to fix problems. 3

Unit 2: Macro Measures and International Trade 4

1.Promote Economic Growth 2.Limit Unemployment 3.Keep Prices Stable (Limit Inflation) In this unit we will analyze how each of these are measured. For all countries there are three major economic goals: 5

Goal #1 Promote Economic Growth How does a country measure economic growth? 6

How do we know how well the economy is doing? Economists collect statistics on production, income, investment, and savings. This is called national income accounting. The most important measure of growth is GDP. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the dollar value of all final goods and services produced within a country’s borders in one year. Dollar value- GDP is measured in dollars. Final Goods-GDP does not include the value of intermediate goods. Intermediate goods are goods used in the production of final goods and services. One Year-GDP measures annual economic performance. 7

Just like calculating your own income, GDP measures how well the U.S. is doing financially. How do you use GDP? 1.Compare to previous years (Is there growth?) 2.Compare policy changes (Did a new policy work?) 3.Compare to other countries (Are we better off?) What does GDP tell us? 8

World GDP Distribution 9

10

How can you measure growth from year to year? % Change in GDP = Year 2 - Year 1 Year 1 X 100 Mordor’s GDP in 2007 was $4000 Mordor’s GDP in 2008 was $5000 What is the % Change in GDP? Transylvania’s GDP in 2007 was $2,000 Transylvania’s GDP in 2008 was $2,100 What is the % Change in GDP? 11

How much is a trillion? 12

2. Nonproduction Transactions Financial Transactions (nothing produced) Ex: Stocks, bonds, Real estate Used Goods Ex: Old cars, used clothes What is NOT included in GDP? 1.Intermediate Goods No Multiple Counting, Only Final Goods EX: Price of finished car, not the radio, tire, etc. 3. Non-Market (Illegal) Activities Ex: Illegal drugs, unpaid work 13

Calculating GDP Two Ways of calculating GDP: 1. Expenditures Approach-Add up all the spending on final goods and services produced in a given year. 2. Income Approach-Add up all the income that resulted from selling all final goods and services produced in a given year. Both ways generate the same amount since every dollar spent is a dollar of income. 14

Four components of GDP: 1.Consumer Spending Ex: $5 Little Caesar's Pizza 2.Investments -When businesses put money back into their own business. Ex: Machinery or tools 3.Government Spending Ex: Bombs or tanks, NOT social security 4.Net Exports - Exports (X) – Imports (M) Ex: Value of 3 Ford Focuses minus 2 Hondas GDP = C + I + G + X n Expenditures Approach 15

Calculating GDP 16

Included or not Included in GDP? For each situation, identify if it is included in GDP the identify the category C, I, G, or X n 1.$10.00 for movie tickets 2.$5M Increase in defense expenditures 3.$45 for used economics textbook 4.Ford makes new $2M factory 5.$20K Toyota made in Mexico 6.$10K Profit from selling stocks 7.$15K car made in US, sold in Canada 8.$10K Tuition to attend college 9.$120 Social Security payment to Bob 10.Farmer purchases new $100K tractor 17

1.$10.00 for movie tickets 2.$5M Increase in defense expenditures X $45 for used economics textbook 4.Ford makes new $2M factory X $20K Toyota made in Mexico X $10K Profit from selling stocks 7.$15K car made in US, sold in Canada 8.$10K Tuition to attend college X $120 Social Security payment to Bob 10.Farmer purchases new $100K tractor GDP=$7,125, Included or not Included in GDP?

Review What is GDP? What is the formula for GDP? What is not included? 19

Review What is GDP? the dollar value of all final goods and services produced within a country’s borders in one year. What is the formula for GDP? GDP = C + I + G + X n What is not included? intermediate goods, stocks, illegal, used 20

Some what ifs Honda Civic produced in KY in 2009 but sold in Honda increases inventory of Civics from 20,000 in 2009 to 30,000 in Ford exports 1000 Cars to Germany. Mercedes exports 1000 Cars to US. 21

24 What are some problems with using GDP to measure the nation’s standard of living?

Limitations of GDP Not Included: Taking time off work to coach your child’s soccer team Leisure (hurts the economy) Raking your own leaves Included: Spending $ to put bars on windows in unsafe neighborhood Cleaning up after a natural disaster Spending money fighting diseases Ice Cream vs. Cigarettes 25

Nominal GDP vs. Real GDP 27

How can you figure out which is the most popular movie of all time? What is the problem with this method? Nominal Box Office Receipts 28

How can you figure out which is the most popular movie of all time? Real Box Office Receipts (adjusted for inflation)

The Problem with GDP If a country’s GDP increased from $4 Billion to $5 Billion in one year, is the country experiencing economic growth? Did the country definitely produce 25% more products? What is Inflation? A rising general level of prices EX: If apples are the only thing being produced $10 Year 1: 10 apples at $1 each; GDP = $10 $12.50 Year 2: 10 apples x $1.25; GDP = $12.50 GDP is rising, but country is worse off! 30

Real vs. Nominal GDP Nominal GDP is GDP measured in current prices. It does not account for inflation from year to year. Real GDP is GDP expressed in constant, or unchanging, dollars. Real GDP adjusts for inflation. REAL GDP IS THE BEST MEASURE OF ECONOMIC GROWTH! 31

32 Year# Snowboards Price# Skis PriceNominal GDPReal GDP $10080$50(100*$100) + (80*$50) = $14, $11080$100(110*$110) + (80*$100) = $20,100 (110*$100) + (80*$50) = $15,000

33 Year# Widgets Price# Gizmos Price# Thingamajigs Price 20121$1008$104$ $11010$115$4 Nominal GDP in 2012:___________________ Nominal GDP in 2013:_______________ % Change in Nominal GDP:______________ Real GPD in 2013:___________________ % Change in Real GDP:________________

Real GDP “deflates” nominal GDP by adjusting for inflation in terms of a base year prices. 34

Does GDP accurately measure standard of living? Standard of living (or quality of life) can be measured, in part, by how well the economy is doing… But it needs to be adjusted to reflect the size of the nation’s population. Real GDP per capita (per person) Real GDP per capita is real GDP divided by the total population. It identifies on average how many products each person makes. Real GDP per capita is the best measure of a nation’s standard of living. 35

List the top 5 most populated countries 36

GDP Per Capita 37

Why do some countries have higher GDPs than others? Productivity 1. Economic System Example#1: Capitalist countries have historically had more economic growth. –Capital (like robots) can produce more than people –Countries with more capital, can produce more products than countries without a lot of capital. 2. Property Rights 3. Capital Ex: Capital stock is machinery, tools, and man-made resources. Example#1: India has over a billion people (human resources) but relatively few capital resources and therefore a lower GDP than the U.S. Example#2: Japan has few natural resources but a high GDP 4. Human Capital (Knowledge) 5. Natural Resources Ex: Syria has a lower GDP because it is mostly desert.
