Calculating GDP

goods made in a year like cars, add to only that year gdp

Avoid intermediate goods like buying ingredients for your own bakery

Illegal goods also are not counted

Money has to change hands to count



Depreciation measures the total loss in capital asset value over time, calculated by multiplying the initial capital stock by the annual depreciation rate:

Depreciation=Beginning Capital Stock×Depreciation Rate\text{Depreciation} = \text{Beginning Capital Stock} \times \text{Depreciation Rate}


Net Investment is gross investment minus depreciation: \text{Net Investment} = \18\text{M} - \6M=$12M6\text{M} = \$12\text{M}

2 ways GDP is calucated

  1. Expenditure Approach: This method sums total spending on the nation's finished goods and services across all sectors. Like business sales records

  2. Income Approach: This calculates total income earned by individuals and businesses, including wages, profits, rents, and taxes, minus subsidies.


Statistical discrepancy should be 3-5% as a percentage. Anything more than 5 is bad.

D= income method - expenditure method / x100 expediture method


Expenditure Method

Gross → Total ( includes depreciation)

private→ (Not government)

domestic→ ( In the nation)

investment → Expanding/ upgrading business, inventory, new real estate.

Depreciation : Loss in value of assets due to wear and tear.

Government purchases → These are the expenses incurred by the government on goods and services, including public infrastructure, education, and defense.

Net exports → The value of a country's exports minus the value of its imports, which reflects the trade balance and can influence overall economic growth. ( Trade growth)


Income method

  1. Employee compensation → This encompasses wages, salaries, and benefits paid to employees

  7. Consumption of fixed capital, depreciation → This represents the reduction in the value of physical assets over time due to wear and tear,

Any money you spend outside of the US build to that countries GDP.



Real GDP per capital equation is : Real GDP/ Population



400 ×230=92,000

200000× 100 =20,000,000.

2,500 ×15=37,500

10000×1=10,000

year 2020 = 20,139,500


420× 230=126,000

2000000×100=250,000,000

2,800× 15=42,000

8000 × 1=8,000

year 2021 = 20,156,600

Growth rate 20,146,600- 20,139,50 x100

20,139,500

= 0.035%
