Aggregation in Economics
  • In their principles of economics text, Baumol and
    Blinder make the following somewhat surprising
    statement.
  • An economic aggregate is nothing but an
    abstraction that people use to describe some
    salient features of economic life.
  • For example, while we observe the prices of
    gasoline, telephone calls and movie tickets
    everyday, we never actually see the price level

10
  • So the concept of the gross domestic product
    which we will discuss in greater detail shortly
    is really an abstraction used to represent the
    total production of a nation.
  • Its as if we were discussing a product that
    represents the output of society. Equilibrium in
    the goods market determines the level of
    aggregate product and the price level.

THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE
  • THE RATIO OF THE NUMBER OF PERSONS SEEKING
    EMPLOYMENT (SOUGHT WORK IN THE FOUR WEEKS PRIOR
    TO THE BLS SURVEY) TO THE TOTAL LABOR FORCE.
  • TOTAL LABOR FORCE EQUALS THE NO. OF PERSONS
    EMPLOYED PLUS THE NO. OF PERSONS UNEMPLOYMENT.
  • DISCOURAGED WORKERS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE LABOR
    FORCE.

OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE UNEMPLOYMENT STATISTICS
  • UNEMPLOYMENT IS PERSISTENT-- NEVER FALLING TO
    ZERO.
  • THE LEVEL OF UNEMPLOYMENT FLUCTUATES
    DRAMATICALLY.
  • THERE ARE MARKED DIFFERENCES IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT
    RATE AMONG DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE AND
    DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. NOT PICTURED IN DIAGRAM.

23
FORMS OF UNEMPLOYMENT
  • SEASONAL UNEMPLOYMENT
  • FRICTIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT
  • STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT
  • CYCLICAL UNEMPLOYMENT

24
  • Seasonal unemployment Unemployment due to the
    end of the agricultural season or holiday season.
  • Frictional unemployment Unemployment
    attributable to changing jobs out of work moving
    between jobs.
  • Structural unemployment Unemployment due to
    changes in technology or foreign trade
    agreements long-term shifts in the structure of
    the economy.
  • Cyclical unemployment Unemployment due to
    deficiencies in aggregate demand.

25
ISSUE 2 INFLATION
Continental Dollars
26
  • INFLATION IS A SUSTAINED INCREASE IN THE GENERAL
    LEVEL OF PRICES.
  • INFLATION RATE IS THE RATE AT WHICH THE GENERAL
    LEVEL OF PRICES INCREASE.
  • HYPERINFLATION IS A RATE OF INFLATION EXCEEDING
    50 PERCENT PER MONTH.

27
MEASURING INFLATION
  • THE PRICES OF DIFFERENT GOODS RISE AT DIFFERENT
    RATES DURING A GIVEN PERIOD SOME PRICES MAY
    EVEN FALL.
  • TO DETERMINE THE CHANGE IN THE GENERAL LEVEL OF
    PRICES , ECONOMISTS CALCULATE A WEIGHTED AVERAGE
    PERCENTAGE INCREASE IN PRICES.
  • THE PRICE INDEX MEASURES THE PRICE LEVEL IN ANY
    GIVEN YEAR RELATIVE TO A COMMON BASE YEAR.

28
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX AN EXAMPLE

OBSERVATIONS ON THE INFLATION RATE
  • PRICES WERE RELATIVELY STABLE FOR MUCH OF THE
    CENTURY i.e., WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PERIODS
    AROUND WWI , WWII , AND 1973-1981.
  • WE HAVE EXPERIENCED PERIODS OF DEFLATION. THAT IS
    , THE GENERAL LEVEL OF PRICES CAN FALL
  • RECESSION OR DEPRESSION PERIODS
  • PERIODS OF DEBT DEFLATION
  • THERE HAVE BEEN PERIODS OF RAPID PRICE INCREASES.

36
WHY IS FIGHTING INFLATION SUCH A HIGH
MACROECONOMIC PRIORITY ?
  • INFLATION CAN CAUSE PERVERSE REDISTRIBUTION OF
    INCOME.( NOTE THE RUSSIAN-MEXICAN EXPERIENCES)
  • INFLATION INTERFERES WITH THE RELATIONSHIP
    BETWEEN DEBTORS AND CREDITORS .
  • IN GENERAL, RAPID AND UNPREDICTABLE CHANGES IN
    THE VALUE OF MONEY DISTORT ECONOMIC DECISIONS.

ISSUE 3 GROWTH
  • IF AN ECONOMY IS TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY AND GROW
    RAPIDLY , IT MUST USE ITS RESOURCES EFFICIENTLY
    AND IT MUST INVEST IN INCREASING ITS PRODUCTIVE
    POTENTIAL.

How can we increase economic growth in the future?
  • Economic growth is a function of the
    technological innovation and the amount and
    quality of labor and capital in the economy
  • As more people are employed, the amount of
    capital increases, education levels increase, the
    quality of capital changes, or the technology
    increases, the productive capacity of the economy
    increases. Therefore, the economy can increase
    its output giving consumers more disposable
    income, promoting an increase in consumption
    spending, and providing resources for business to
    use for further investment and government to use
    to provide public goods and services.
  • Increased labor force participation increases
    output. Expanded, improved education creates more
    productive workers. Business and government
    spending on research and development enhance our
    abilities to produce and allow each worker to
    become more productive, increasing incomes for
    all.
  • Finally, to achieve a higher level of GDP in the
    future, consumers need to limit consumption
    spending and increase savings today, permitting
    businesses to invest more in capital goods. If
    resources are invested into building an economy
    now, future generations will enjoy a higher level
    of economic growth our businesses will produce
    more goods and consumers can purchase more goods.
    Expansion of output at rates faster than our
    population growth is what gives us the
    opportunity to enjoy higher standards of living.

44
MEASURING AGGREGATE OUTPUT
45
MEASURING OUTPUT
  • GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) IS THE SUM OF THE
    MONEY VALUE OF ALL FINAL GOODS AND SERVICES
    PRODUCED BY THE RESIDENTS OF A NATION DURING A
    SPECIFIED TIME PERIOD.
  • GDP IGNORES INCOME RECEIVED FROM AND PAID TO
    FOREIGN INTEREST. THESE ITEMS ARE INCLUDED IN THE
    GNP.

46
What is the Difference Between GNP and GDP ?
  • GNP is the total output produced with capital,
    labor, and other inputs owned by U.S.residents.
  • GDP is the output produced with capital, labor,
    and other inputs located inside the U.S.

47
NOMINAL AND REAL GDP
  • NOMINAL GDP UNADJUSTED, MONEY() GDP.
  • REAL GDP THE MONEY VALUE OF ALL GOODS AND
    SERVICES PRODUCED BY THE ECONOMY DIVIDED BY A
    MEASURE OF THE PRICE LEVEL -- A PRICE INDEX

48
  • REAL GDP NOMINAL GDP / PRICE INDEX
  • ( P Q) / P Q
  • THE PRICE LEVEL MEASURE IN THIS CASE IS THE GDP
    DEFLATOR . THAT IS , WHAT IT COSTS TO PURCHASE
    THE TOTAL MIX OF GOODS AND SERVICES COMPOSING THE
    GDP TODAY AND WHAT IT COST IN THE BASE YEAR.

OBSERVATION ABOUT THE GDP
  • POTENTIAL GDP WHAT THE ECONOMY COULD PRODUCE IF
    LABOR AND CAPITAL WERE USED TO THEIR FULL
    CAPACITY.
  • OUTPUT DOES NOT GROW SMOOTHLY AND ACTUAL OUTPUT
    HAS FALLEN BELOW POTENTIAL OUTPUT AT TIMES. ( A
    RECESSION IS DATED BY A FALL IN GDP FOR AT LEAST
    TWO CONSECUTIVE QUARTERS.)
  • RECESSION MEANS THAT AGGREGATE OUTPUT IS
    BELOW POTENTIAL.

Definition of GDP in More Detail
  • Definition of Gross Domestic Product
  • Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is one measure of
    economic activity, the total amount of goods and
    services produced in the United States in a year.
    It is calculated by adding together the market
    values of all of the final goods and services
    produced in a year.
  • It is a gross measurement because it includes the
    total amount of goods and services produced, some
    of which are simply replacing goods that have
    depreciated or have worn out.
  • It is domestic production because it only
    includes goods and services produced within the
    U.S.
  • It measures current production because it only
    includes what was produced during the year.
  • It is a measurement of the final goods produced
    because it does not include the value of a good
    when sold by a producer, again when sold by the
    distributor, and once more when sold by the
    retailer to the final customer. We only count the
    final sale.
  • Changes in GDP from one year to the next reflect
    changes in the output of goods and services and
    changes in their prices. To gain a better
    understanding of what actually is occurring in
    the economy, real GDP is also calculated. In
    fact, these changes are more meaningful, as the
    changes in real GDP show what has actually
    happened to the quantities of goods and services,
    independent of changes in prices.

54
Explanations of GDP and its Components
  • GDP C I G NX where NX Exports (X)
    Imports(M)
  • Consumption spending (C) consists of consumer
    spending on goods and services. It is often
    divided into spending on durable goods,
    non-durable goods and services. These purchases
    accounted for 68 percent of GDP in the third
    quarter of 2001.
  • Durable goods are items such as cars, furniture,
    and appliances, which are used for several years.
    (10)
  • Non-durable goods are items such as food,
    clothing, and disposable products, which are used
    for only a short time period. (20)
  • Services include rent paid on apartments (or
    estimated values for owner occupied housing),
    airplane tickets, legal and medical advice or
    treatment, electricity and other utilities. (38)
    Services are the fastest growing part or
    consumption spending.

55
  • Investment spending (I) consists of
    nonresidential fixed investment, residential
    investment, and inventory changes. Investment
    spending accounts for 19 percent of GDP, but
    varies significantly from year to year.
  • Nonresidential fixed investment is the creation
    of tools and equipment to use in the production
    of other goods and services. Examples are the
    building of factories, the production of new
    machines, and the manufacturing of computers for
    business use (15).
  • Residential investment is the building of a new
    homes or apartments. (4)
  • Inventory changes consist of changes in the level
    of stocks of goods necessary for production and
    finished goods ready to be sold. (Less than 1)

56
  • Government spending (G) consists of federal,
    state, and local government spending on goods and
    services such as research, roads, defense,
    schools, and police and fire departments. This
    spending does not include transfer payments such
    as Social Security, unemployment compensation,
    and welfare payments, which do not represent
    production of goods and services. (17)

57
  • Net Exports (NX) is equal to exports (X) minus
    imports (M). Exports are items produced in the US
    and purchased by foreigners . Imports are items
    produced by foreigners and purchased by US
    consumers. Currently, the US imports more than
    it exports so that net exports are negative,
    about -4 of the GDP.

58
Revisions in GDP Announcements
  • Real GDP for each quarter is announced three
    times. The month following the end of the quarter
    is described as the advance GDP the second
    announcement or revision is described as the
    preliminary announcement and the third month is
    the final. While labeled as the final version,
    even it will eventually be revised after the
    final data for a year are published. An example
    of previous revisions, the three announcements
    for the annual rates of change in 2000-01 are
    shown on the next slide.

59
  • Annual rates of change in Real GDP
  • Advance
    Preliminary Final
  • Second Quarter, 2000 5.2 5.3 5.6
  • Third Quarter, 2000 2.7 2.4 2.2
  • Fourth Quarter, 2000 1.4 1.1 1.0
  • First Quarter, 2001 2.0 1.3

60
  • Revisions in inventory investment and the
    international trade data are often the cause of
    changes in the GDP figures. Because changes in
    inventories and international trade date make up
    significant portions of the current report, one
    should be particularly cautious in using the
    "advance" figures.

61
Are estimates of GDP accurate measures of our
well-being?
  • GDP fails to account for many forms of production
    that improve a person's well-being. For example,
    if you make a meal at home, the labor is not
    included. However, if you were to go out to a
    restaurant and consume that same meal, the labor
    is included in GDP. Unpaid work at home or for a
    friend and volunteer work is not included and
    thus GDP does not reflect production of all we
    produce.
  • External effects of production, such as
    pollution, are not subtracted from the value of
    GDP. Although two countries may have similar GDP
    growth rates, one country may have significantly
    cleaner water and air, and therefore is truly
    better off than the other country. If as economic
    growth accelerates, producers begin to employ
    production techniques that create more pollution,
    the effects of the growth are overstated.
  • GDP includes police protection, new prisons, and
    national defense as goods and services. It is not
    always clear that if we have to devote increased
    resources for such purposes that we are better
    off as a result.
  • GDP includes the effects of price changes. An
    increase in GDP due solely to inflation does not
    signal an improvement in living standards. Real
    GDP is a better measure. Nor does GDP reflect
    population growth. Changes in the income
    distribution are not measured. It is also
    difficult to compare rates of growth for
    different countries, as countries use different
    means of estimating income and price levels in
    their economy.
  • There are a variety of other weaknesses and
    inaccuracies, but GDP accounting is the best that
    we have. Real GDP does provide sound signals as
    to the direction of change of a selected large
    part of what we produce each year. Government
    statisticians and academics are constantly
    working to improve its accuracy and its ability
    to reflect our well-being.
