Real and Nominal Rates
Nominal interest rates are rates unadjusted for the effect of inflation or deflation.
Real rates are adjusted for price level changes.
![Page 5: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Interest Rates: Facts
Interest rates serve many roles:Interest rates are a premium paid to forego
consumption.Interest rates are the price of credit.Interest rates are the return to capital as a
factor of production.
![Page 6: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Inflation and Interest Rates
Nominal variables are not adjusted to reflect changes in the price level.They are the percentage by which the
money a borrower pays back exceeds the money he borrowed, making no adjustment for any change in purchasing power.
![Page 7: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Inflation and Interest Rates
Real interest rates are the percentage increase in purchasing power that the borrower pays to the lender for the privilege of borrowing.Real interest rates are nominal interest
rates minus the rate of inflation.Real interest rates may be positive, zero,
or negative.

Nominal Rates: The Fisher Effect
THE FISHER EFFECT:
NOMINAL RATE = REAL RATE + EXPECTED INFLATION

Saving and Investment
Economists make a clear distinction between saving and investment.Saving is the act of abstaining from
consumption.Investment is the result of purchasing a
new capital good.
![Page 11: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Saving and Investment: Closed Economy
Y = C + I + GG = IG + CG
Y = CN + IN
CN = C + CG
IN = I + IG
Y – CN = IN
SN = IN
![Page 12: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Savings = Investment: Closed Economy
In a closed economy, savings must just equal investment.If S > I, interest rates will fall and I will
rise.If S < I, interest rates will rise and I will
fall.

The Rest of the World
An economy has two basic kinds of economic interactions with the rest of the world.Buying and selling goods and servicesBuying and selling assets.
![Page 15: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Exports are those goods we produce for sale in the rest of the world. Imports are those goods we buy from the rest of the world.
We also lend to the rest of the world and borrow from them.
The Rest of the World

Saving and Investment: Open Economy
Y = CN + IN + NXNX = Exports – Imports
Y – CN – IN = NX SN – IN = NX
If SN = IN, NX =0, trade balanceIf SN > IN, NX >0, trade surplusIf SN < IN, NX <0, trade deficit
![Page 17: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Looking at X - M
X represents the exports of a country.X is the income a country receives from
the rest of the world through exporting goods and services.
M represents the imports of a country.M is a country’s consumption of goods
and services produced by the rest of the world.
![Page 18: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Looking at X - M
X – M then is income minus consumption vis a vis the rest of the world.If X > M, a country has excess funds to
lend to the ROW, or S > I.If X < M, the country’s trading partner has
excess funds to lend to it or domestically S < I.
![Page 19: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
S – I = NX
Net foreign investment (S – I) always equals the trade balance (NX).The international flow of funds to finance
capital accumulation and the international flow of goods and services are two sides of the same coin.
![Page 20: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Government and the Private Sector YD = Y + TR – T S = YD – C
YD = C + I + G + NX + TR – TYD = S + C
Set YD = YD and solve for NXS + C = C + I + G + NX + TR – TS + C – C – I – G – TR + T = NX
(S – I) + (T – TR – G) = NX
![Page 21: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Government and the Private Sector
(S – I) + (T – TR – G) = NX(S – I) = Private saving(T – TR – G) = Government saving
There are two sources from which the government can raise funds if G + TR > T.It can borrow at home, if S > I orIt can borrow from the ROW if NX < 0.
![Page 22: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Government Budget Surplus
(S – I) + (T – TR – G) = NX Rearrange the equation: T – G – TR = (I + NX ) – S
There are three ways a government budget surplus can be used:
• Private saving can decline without requiring a decrease in private investment
• The surplus can stimulate domestic investment through lower interest rates.
• Dependence on foreign investment can be reduced.

Measuring GDP
![Page 24: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What Is GDP?
GDP, Gross Domestic Product, is the total dollar value of all final goods and services produced in a country during a year.Current market prices are used to aggregate
different outputs to a dollar total. Government purchases, many of which do not
occur in markets, are valued at their cost of production.
![Page 25: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Only final goods and services are included. Intermediate goods are not included to avoid double counting.
The measure is an annual flow, a rate of production. A GDP of $10 trillion implies that the economy is producing $10 trillion worth of goods and services per year.
GDP measures production by U.S. citizens and foreigners alike inside the geographic borders of the USA and thus unequivocally reflects economic activity in the USA.

Real and Nominal GDP Nominal GDP
The market value of a nation’s final output based on current prices for the goods and services produced during the year.
• Nominal GDP in 2003 = the sum of all the goods and services produced in 2003 multiplied by their 2003 prices
Real GDPAn estimate of the value of a nation’s final
products adjusted for changes in prices since a certain base year.
![Page 27: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Calculating Changes in Real GDP GDP = PQ We are interested in measuring Q when
we measure GDP. Therefore, changes in P must be eliminated.
This is accomplished by using a price index to deflate nominal GDP.
![Page 28: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Price Indexes: Use
GDP in 2000 = P2000 times Q2000
GDP in 2002 = P2002 times Q2002
If we wish to compare GDP in 2002 with GDP in 2000, we must remove any price changes that have occurred.
Why?
![Page 29: Measuring the Economy. The Economy as a Circular Flow Resources FirmsHouseholds Goods and Services Expenditures Income](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ea05503460f94ba369e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Price Indexes: Use
GDP 2002 = P2002 x Q2002
Divide by a price index = P2002/P2000
P2002Q2002 P2002 = P2002Q2002 x P2000 = Q2002P2000
P2000 P2002

Components of GDP: Expenditure and Income Expenditure
GDP = C + I + G + (X-M) Income
NI (Y) = W + i + R + profits Since NI and GDP measure aggregate
production, they must be equal.
