  1. MEASURING ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE Study unit 2

  2. MACROEOCONOMIC OBJECTIVES • Economic growth • Full employment • Price stability • Balance of payments stability • Equitable income distribution

  3. DOMESTIC PRODUCTION • Domestic production vs. national production • Domestic production • Total production is an indication of macroeconomic activity. • Domestic production measured by GDP • Definition of GDP • Market value • Final products and services • Within the boarders of the country • Consumption of fixed capital

  4. DOMESTIC PRODUCTION • Domestic production • Calculating GDP. • Income method • Expenditure method • Value added method • GDP at market prices according to Income method: • Compensation of employees (wages) • Net operating surplus • Consumption of fixed capital • Taxes on production and products • Less: subsidies on production and products

  5. GDP ACCORDING TO INCOME AND EXPENDITURE APPROACHES

  6. DOMESTIC PRODUCTION • Domestic production • GDP at market prices according to Expenditure method: • Consumption by households • Consumption by government • Gross capital formation • Exports of goods • Less: Imports of goods • Residual

  7. GDP ACCORDING TO VALUE ADDED APPROACH

  8. DOMESTIC PRODUCTION • Domestic production • GDP at market prices vs. GDP at factor cost • GDP at market price Add: Subsidies on products Subsidies on production Less: Taxes on production Taxes on products GDP at factor cost • Nominal GDP vs. Real GDP

  9. DOMESTIC PRODUCTION • Domestic production • GDP at market prices vs. GDP at factor cost • GDP at market price Add: Subsidies on products Subsidies on production Less: Taxes on production Taxes on products GDP at factor cost • Nominal GDP vs. Real GDP

  10. DOMESTIC PRODUCTION • Domestic production • Nominal GDP vs. Real GDP • Nominal GDP indicates the monetary value of production • Real GDP indicates changes in physical output. • Nominal GDP is calculated either by: • Prices of products for current year x Quantities of the products of current year • Real GDP x CPI ÷ 100 • Real GDP is calculated: • Prices of products of the previous year x Quantities of the products current year • Nominal GDP x 100 ÷ CPI

  11. Nominal GDP vs. Real GDP

  12. DOMESTIC PRODUCTION • GDP per capita • Definition • Formula = Real GDP ÷ Population • Three measures that we use to measure the inequality: • Lorenz-curve • Gini coefficient • Quantile ratio

  13. NATIONAL PRODUCTION • National Production • Definition • GNP = GDP at market price Add: Primary income receipts Less: Primary income payments • Factors which influence GNP: • Stage of a country’s economic development • Level of production of the country’s production system • The living standards of a country’s citizens • The nature and extent of a country’s natural resources
