Gross Domestic Product Measures Total Production
Gross domestic product (GDP) The market value of all final goods and services produced in a country during a period of time, typically one year.
Measuring Total Production: Gross Domestic Product
GDP Is Measured Using Market Values, Not Quantities
The word value is important in the definition of GDP.

Gross Domestic Product Measures Total ProductionProduction, Income, and the Circular-Flow DiagramFIGURE 19-1The Circular Flow and the Measurement of GDP
The circular-flow diagram illustrates the flow of spending and money in the economy. Firms sell goods and services to three groups: domestic households, foreign firms and households, and the government. To produce goods and services, firms use factors of production: labor, capital, natural resources, and entrepreneurship. Households supply the factors of production to firms in exchange for income in the form of wages, interest, profit, and rent. Firms make payments of wages and interest to households in exchange for hiring workers and other factors of production.The sum of wages, interest, rent, and profit is total income in the economy. We can measure GDP as the total income received by households.
19.1 LEARNING OBJECTIVEExplain how total production is measured.

Gross Domestic Product Measures Total ProductionProduction, Income, and the Circular-Flow DiagramFIGURE 19-1 (continued)
The diagram also shows that households use their income to purchase goods and services, pay taxes, and save. Firms and the government borrow the funds that flow from households into the financial system. We can measure GDP either by calculating the total value of expenditures on final goods and services or by calculating the value of total income.

• Consumer spending on services is greater than the sum of spending on durable and nondurable goods.
• Business fixed investment is the largest component of investment.
• Purchases made by state and local governments are greater than purchases made by the federal government.
• Imports are greater than exports, so net exports are negative.

Value added by shirt manufacturer = ($15 –$3) = 12
L.L. Bean Value of shirt for sale on L.L. Bean’s Web site = $35
Value added by L.L. Bean = ($35 – $15) = 20

Comparing Real GDP and Nominal GDP
FIGURE 19-3Nominal GDP and Real GDP, 1990–2008Currently, the base year for calculating GDP is 2005. In the years before 2005, prices were, on average, lower than in 2005, so nominal GDP was lower than real GDP. In 2005, nominal and real GDP were equal. After 2005, prices have been, on average, higher than in 2005, so nominal GDP is higher than real GDP.

Become familiar with other measures of total production and total income.
19.4 LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Gross national product (GNP) is the value of final goods and services produced by residents of the United States, even if theproduction takes place outside the United States.
National income is calculated as GDP minus the consumption of fixed capital, or depreciation.
Disposable personal income is equal to personal income minus personal tax payments.
Personal income is income received by households.

Other Measures of Total Production and Total Income
FIGURE 19-4Measures of Total Production and Total Income, 2008The most important measure of total production and total income is gross domestic product (GDP). As we will see in later chapters, for some purposes, the other measures of total production and total income shown in the figure turn out to be more useful than GDP.
Become familiar with other measures of total production and total income.

FIGURE 19-5The Division of IncomeWe can measure GDP in terms of total expenditure or as the total income received by households. The largest component of income received by households is wages, which are more than three times as large as the profits received by sole proprietors and the profits received by corporations combined.
