, PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
The purpose of this chapter is to understand one of the primary macroeconomic variables: gross
domestic product (GDP). GDP measures production within a country and across time. GDP per capita
gives a measure of the average income per person and is used as a proxy for the average standard of
living of a country’s citizens. GDP is not a perfect measure of well-being, but it is correlated with several
quality-of-life variables. Accurate GDP measurements show how production changes over time and
enable cross-country comparisons of production and income. Furthermore, GDP can inform
policymakers and help them make decisions that improve a country’s economic performance.
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
The following objectives are addressed in this chapter:
1.1 Calculate GDP using the income, expenditure, and value-added approaches.
1.2 Distinguish between real and nominal GDP and calculate the GDP deflator.
1.3 Explain the concept of purchasing power parity and how that affects measured cross-country
income differences.
1.4 List the stylized facts of economic growth.
1.5 Critically evaluate GDP per person as an accurate measure of living standards.
