Measuring GDP Final goods
GDP is taken as the value of final goods and services produced to avoid
double count Value added
At each stage of the manufacture of a good, only the value added to the good
at that stage is considered for GDP
Eg: Value of bread = value of wheat produced by farmer + (Value of flour sold
by miller value of wheat )
+ (Value of bread sold Value of flour used)
Current Output
GDP consists of value of output currently produced
Imp Points: Construction of new houses is a part of GDP
Trading of existing houses is not a part of GDP
Value of realtors fees in the sale of existing houses is included in GDP

Inflation and Price Indices Nominal GDP is GDP evaluated at current market prices. Therefore,
nominal GDP will include all of the changes in market prices that have
occurred during the current year due to inflation or deflation.
Real GDP is GDP evaluated at the market prices of some base year. For
example, if 1990 were chosen as the base year, then real GDP for 1995 is
calculated by taking the quantities of all goods and services purchased in
1995 and multiplying them by their 1990 prices.
Inflation is defined as a rise in the overall price level, and deflation is
defined as a fall in the overall price level.
GDP deflator. Using the statistics on real GDP and nominal GDP, one can
calculate an implicit index of the price level for the year. This index is
called the GDP deflator and is given by the formula

CPI: differs from the GDP deflator in two important ways. First, the CPImeasures only the change in the prices of a basket of goods consumed by atypical household. Second, the CPI uses base year quantities rather thancurrent year quantities in calculating the price level index value
Producer Price Index (PPI):It measures the average change over time in the
selling prices received by domestic producers for their output. The pricesincluded in the PPI are from the first commercial transaction for manyproducts and some services.
Core inflation represents the long run trend in the price level. In measuringlong run inflation, transitory price changes should be excluded. One way of
accomplishing this is by excluding items frequently subject to volatile prices,like food and energy

Goods Market Equilibrium, the IS curve
IS curve gives combination of income and interest
at which goods market is in equilibrium ie.,
income or output of the economy equals the
aggregate demand for a given interest rate. The IS curve is downward sloping because at
lower interest rates investment I is higher. Hence,
output is more at lower income levels.
Increase in income/ spending/ investments
moves IS curve to the right. Decrease moves it to
the left.

In the long run R moves towards PPP of the 2countries

Increase in money supply increases real balancesand this moves LM curve to the right.
This lowers the interest rate, followed by hugecapital outflows.
This results in a pressure for devaluation whichthe central bank negates by selling foreign
currency and buying local currency from foreignmarket.
This means a decreases in money supply asreserves are depleted. Hence the LM curve
moves back to original position. Thus, monetary expansion is ineffective.

Lack of coordination among firms for changing wages

If prices increases with devaluation its is of no

J-Curve and Hysteresis Effect As NX = X (ePf/P)Q , devaluation initially worsens NX
as volume traded doesnt change immediately. This is
the Price effect. In the long run, exports start to increase and NX
improves. This is the Volume effect.
This change in NX is characterized by the J-Curve (NX
dips first, rises later) Hysteresis : If currency was over valued for long time,
people may move to imports, ie. Foreign brands. In thiscase, devaluation might take a really long time to bringany improvement.
For eg. The US $ was over-valued for a really long timeand people in the US had by then accustomed tocheaper Japanese goods. When $ was devalued,demand took a long time to move from Japanese to USgoods.

Monetary Approach to BoP
It is suggested (IMF) that BoP imbalance is
monetary phenomenon, can be corrected
through monetary policy changes.
Tight money policy reduces demand, incomeand hence BoP deficit can be corrected.
But with sterilization persistent deficits are
possible money stock remains high.

IMF approach involves fixing target : NFA* -based on how
much deficit the country can afford, ability to take external
loans, forex reserves. Next decide on target for increase in H: H* - this should
be such that it meets the increase in money demand.
The two targets set the limit on domestic credit expansion

Monetary Approach to BoP
& the IMF
Curtailment of domestic credit reduces demand,induces recession and corrects the BoP
Proponents of monetary approach argue that
devaluation can not improve BoP except in theshort run
Criticisms of IMF approach:
Countries which are having unemployment willfind it difficult to implement credit contraction.

In the short run, LM moves to the right. Interest
rate is below world level.
Exchange rate depreciates, competitivenessincreases. NX improves and so IS curve moves
right. Short run equilibrium is achieved at E.
In the long run, however, since output is above Y*
prices increaseM/P falls LM moves inward.
This increases interest rates currency
appreciates competitiveness is lost restored
to Y*. Nominal exchange rate appreciates in this
process. Real exchange rate remains the same

Return on foreign bonds (in terms of domestic
currency) = if+ e/e
e is Rs/$ (Rs is home currency here). So ifexchange rate depreciates, e increases and return
on foreign bond is higher.
When capital is completely mobile we expect
interest rates to be equalized, after adjusting for
expected depreciation
Hence, high-inflation countries tend to have high
interest rates and depreciating currencies. Inflation differential Interest differential

Explanation If home currency is expected to appreciate, domestic
assets are attractive even at lower interest rate.
Hence, economy achieves BoP = 0 for a lower interestrate i.
But at the current level, economy is operating in asurplus and cash flows force the currency toappreciate.
This reduces competitiveness and forces the IS curve tomove down.
Hence an expectation for appreciation came true, withappreciation of currency, lowered output andemployment. The expectation is Self fulfilling in nature.
