, Introduction
Exam question:
- Picture of day before and we have to say what happened. Mostly ‘why’
questions. Which model do you use here? Which problem do you see?
- A newspaper article with a shock or policy, he will ask to use the DDAA model.
Additional question to make part if the analysis yourself.
Never learn lists by heart but know examples. Mostly indirectly, you have to be able
the most important instruments of the ECB for example.
Exam parts:
Chapter 2: National Income Accounting and the Balance of Payments
Modules
A. Introduction
There are two main parts to the chapter
- National income accounting
- Balance of payments account
We will play around with the national income identity, we will rewrite the identity,
rearrange the variables that appear in it to highlight a number of important links
between the variables. NI = GNP
But first: we need to explain or justify the identity.
By definition, the identity tells you that the National Income should equal National
Product.
National Income Accounts (NI = GNP)
National income (NI)
- Record the value of national income that results from production and
expenditure (We see already that there are two possible angles to compute
national income or GNP The production angle or an expenditure angle)
o National income is often defined to be the income earned by a nation’s
factors of production.
Factors of production = capital & labour & eventually information
Nation’s factors (see and module; difference cross national and
domestic product)
