Macroeconomic goals of stabilization
1. Growth 2. Full Employment 3. Stable Prices
![Page 9: Unit Two Macroeconomic Tools. Circular Flow See the chart on the board A little more detail](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e585503460f94b50f59/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Economic Growth
1. Defined as an increase in real per capita income. Real means adjusted for inflation. Per capita means for each person.
2. Measured by the Gross Domestic Product or GDP
![Page 10: Unit Two Macroeconomic Tools. Circular Flow See the chart on the board A little more detail](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e585503460f94b50f59/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
GDP
The Gross in GDP means that depreciation has not been deducted
Domestic means only that which is produced in the US by US companies
Product refers to goods and services produced for use in one year
![Page 11: Unit Two Macroeconomic Tools. Circular Flow See the chart on the board A little more detail](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e585503460f94b50f59/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
GDP
The GDP for the US this year is estimated to be $10,371,000,000,000
There are two ways of measuring the GDP: 1. Expenditure 2. Income
![Page 12: Unit Two Macroeconomic Tools. Circular Flow See the chart on the board A little more detail](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e585503460f94b50f59/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
GDP by Expenditure
GDP= C + I + G + (X-M) C= Consumption or what consumers
spend on goods and service I = Investment in capital goods G= Government expenditures on
goods and services X-M= Exports - Imports
![Page 13: Unit Two Macroeconomic Tools. Circular Flow See the chart on the board A little more detail](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e585503460f94b50f59/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
GDP by Income
National Income NI = C + S + T C= Consumption S = Savings T = Taxes

Full Employment
Full employment is measured by the unemployment rate; the lower unemployed the closer we are to Full Employment
Unemployment Rate = # of unemployed / Work Force
![Page 15: Unit Two Macroeconomic Tools. Circular Flow See the chart on the board A little more detail](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e585503460f94b50f59/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Workforce
The work force includes all those working
It excludes the retired, children 15 and under, “house-spouses”, students, the disabled.

Types of Unemployment
A. Frictional: or natural People changing jobs People graduating from college or high
school People moving with a spouse for a new
jobB. Structural:Where skills don’t match the jobs available

Unemployment Rate August 2002
8,100,000 / 142,000,000 = 5.7%
![Page 18: Unit Two Macroeconomic Tools. Circular Flow See the chart on the board A little more detail](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e585503460f94b50f59/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CPI Consumer Price Index Measures price stability, mostly
measures inflation Uses a market basket of goods to
compare prices from one month or year to the next
Can be used to compare or adjust incomes from one year to another.
![Page 19: Unit Two Macroeconomic Tools. Circular Flow See the chart on the board A little more detail](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e585503460f94b50f59/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Base Year 1984
Cost of a Market Basket of Goods= $1,823
$1,823 / 1,823 = 1.00 or an index of 100
![Page 20: Unit Two Macroeconomic Tools. Circular Flow See the chart on the board A little more detail](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e585503460f94b50f59/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
August 2002
Cost of a market basket of goods= $3294
$3,294 / $1,823 = 1.807 or 180.7
![Page 21: Unit Two Macroeconomic Tools. Circular Flow See the chart on the board A little more detail](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e585503460f94b50f59/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Using the CPI
When we use the CPI to adjust prices or wages for inflation, the result is a “real” price or wage, instead of just the nominal price or wage.
![Page 22: Unit Two Macroeconomic Tools. Circular Flow See the chart on the board A little more detail](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e585503460f94b50f59/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Formula
To compare a price from “back in the day” to prices today, we use this formula:
Old Price / old CPI x new CPI = Real Price Examples: Prices at the end of WWII
Movie: .60 / .18 x 1.807 = Eggs: .85 / .18 x 1.807 =
