Make an observation about your plotted points.
The US is the biggest economy in the world and China is the second biggest. That being said, how dothey compare?
What percent of the world economy does the US account for?
What percent of the world economy does China account for?
On the axis given, plot each nation¶s 2010 GDP.

C. Real vs Nominal GDP __________________ GDP = the production of goods and services valued at current prices
(the effects of inflation are included)
__________________ GDP = the production of goods and services valued at base year prices
(the effects of inflation are removed)
It is only meaningful to compare _________________ figures across time.2001Q2 2001Q3

Real GDP Calculations:Use _______________ year quantities and _________________ prices.
Suppose that the base year is 2005.

D. The GDP deflator
The GDP deflator is a measure of the _____________________________.
GDP deflator = NGDP x 100RGDP
Deflators from our soda/popcorn example:

Note: in the base year the GDP deflator is equal to _________
US Nominal GDP (billions)

Let¶s calculate the actual GDP deflator for the following years.2000: 2001: 2002:

F. GDP and Well-being
GDP is a __________________________ of the well-being of people in a particular nation.
It __________________ many important factors in the quality of life like leisure, health, education, theenvironment, informal markets, and home production.
However, higher GDP is ___________________ with higher levels of these other factors.
________________________ is another measure of well-being. It captures the income of the average person in the economy.
GDP per capita = GDP / population

___________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:Because every transaction has a buyer and a seller, the total expenditure in the economy must equal thetotal income in the economy.
Gross domestic product (GDP) is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a
country in a given period of time.
GDP is divided among four components of expenditure: consumption, investment, government purchases, and net exports.
Nominal GDP uses current prices to value the economy¶s production of goods and services.
Real GDP uses constant base-year prices to value the economy¶s production of goods and services.
The GDP deflator measures the level of prices in the economy.
Economic growth is measured using the change in Real GDP.
GDP is a good measure of economic well-being because people prefer higher incomes to lower incomes.
But it is not a perfect measure of well-being.
