FIGURE 8.1. Circular flow diagram. The diagram above represents the transactions between
firms and households in a simple economy.
In the upper loop, the arrow emanating from firms to households represents the sale by firms of
goods and services to households. On the other hand, the arrow from households to firms
represents the payments.
n the lower loop, the arrow originating from the households to the firms shows that firms hire
labor and capital from households in order to produce goods and services. The arrow
emanating from the firms indicates their payments for the use of the factors of production.

9. With government and foreign
agents
Need to account for :
a. Government purchases of goods and services.
b. Government payments for factor services (wages, rent,
interest).
Transfer payments between different agents.
d. Firms and households pay taxes to government.
e. Taxes paid on income, property, goods and services.
f. Transactions with the foreign sector.
10. Transfer payments
Transfer payments – are transactions
wherein one party is not obliged to deliver
a good or service in return for the
payment.
Examples: retirement benefits,
unemployment benefits, scholarships,
and donations.
11. Transactions with foreign sector
Includes sales of goods and services,
assets, and transfers
Exports - sales of domestically produced
goods to other countries
Imports - goods bought from other
countries
12. Measurement of economy’s output:
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
The GDP measures the market value of all final goods
and services produced within an economy in a given
period.
GDP only measures current production. Transfer
payments and transactions involving goods produced in
other periods are not included in the calculation of GDP.
GDP is usually expressed in the currency of a particular
country, e.g., Philippine peso….indicates the market
value of the goods and services
13. Definition of GDP
The market value of good i (Vi) is equal
to Pi⋅Qi
GDP = sum of the market values of all
final goods and services produced
within the year.
n n
GDP = ∑ V = ∑P
i=1
i
i=1
i ⋅ Qi
14. GDP includes final goods and
services only
Final goods - goods and services that are not
purchased for the purpose of producing other
goods and services or for resale
Eg. Rice (final) and palay or unhusked rice (intermediate
product)
Including intermediate goods and final goods
will result in “double counting”.
15. 3 Approaches for measuring
GDP
Expenditure Approach (upper loop) – measures
GDP as the sum of expenditures on final
goods and services.
Income Approach (lower loop) – measures GDP as
the sum of incomes of factors of production
(wages, rent, interest and profit.
Value-added Approach – measures GDP as the
sum of value added at each stage of
production (from initial to final stage)
16. Expenditure Approach
Uses the upper loop
of the circular flow
diagram.
Example: Suppose
the economy has
only one product,
namely, rice. Price per
Good
unit
Q sold Expenditure
Rice 20 1000 20,000
GDP 20,000
17. Income Approach
Uses the lower loop of the circular flow diagram: sum of payments
to the various factors of production.
Suppose that in the production of rice the sales and expenses are
as follows:
Sales P 20,000
Expenses:
Wages 8000
Rent 4000
Interest 2000
Total 14,000
Profit 6,000
GDP=Sum of Payments to 20,000 P 20,000
factors
18. Value Added Approach
Suppose that rice is the only final product of an
economy: It goes through several (3) stages of
production.
Value of
Stage of Prod’n intermediate Value of Value-added
good Sales
Farmer - Palay 12,000 12,000
Rice Miller -Milled 12,000 15,000 3,000
Rice
Retailers - Rice 15,000 20,000 5,000
GDP= Total Value 20,000
Added
19. Notes of the 3 approaches
The expenditure approach, income approach, and the value-added
approach all come up with the same estimate of the GDP. They are
equivalent approaches.
In the income approach, profit is also considered a payment to the
entrepreneur. So the incomes are (1) wages, (2) rent, (3) interest,
and (4) profit. Profit adjusts to make the sum equal to the final
value of the good.
In the value added approach, only the value added in each stage of
production are included. If we add the value of intermediate
product with the value of the final product, we commit the sin of
“double-counting.”
At each stage of production, the value-added is equal to wages,
interest, rent, and profit. Therefore the value of the final product is
likewise the same of all payments to the factors of production.

23. Expenditure Approach
C - spending of households and private non-profit institutions on
goods and services
Non-durables - goods and services that are consumed rapidly
Durable goods - that last for a longer period of time
I - investment spending of domestic agents. Its major components
are “changes in” Fixed Capital and Changes in Stocks
G - government’s payments for the salaries of its workforce as well
as purchases of goods and services → used for the government’s
day to day operations and projects.
X - the spending of the rest of the world on goods and non-factor
services produced in the country
M- the country’s purchases of goods and non-factor services
from the rest of the world.
SD - accounts for accounting and reporting errors in the accounts.

Gross Domestic Product GDP 4,022,700
25. Income Approach
GDP = COE + NOS + D + IBTS
In a simple world, GDP = COE + NOS. In practice,
require two adjustments (D and IBTS)
D - accounts for the wear and tear of physical capital
“D” is treated as a business cost → not included in
NOS. However, “D” is part of “I” in the expenditure side
of the national accounts
IBTS - includes taxes on the use or purchase goods
and services and grants from government to firms. E. g
sales taxes, value added tax
Not included in NOS but is part of the market prices, of
which the items in the expenditure accounts are quoted
26. Value added or Industrial Origin approach
GDP = value added of
different activities (sectors)

Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry 519,400
Industry 1,307,400
Services 2,123,900
Gross Domestic Product 4,022,700
27. The distinction between GDP and GNP
GNP = GDP + Net Factor Income from
the Rest of the World (NFIRW)
NFIRW - measures the difference
between the earnings of Philippine
residents in other countries and foreign
residents in the Philippines

29. Nominal and Real GDP
GDP at current prices or nominal GDP - GDP
measured using the prices of the year for which it is
calculated
Nominal GDP can be a misleading indicator of changes
in output or income because it also embodies changes
in the prices of goods and services.
Real GDP or GDP at constant prices ≡ measures the
total value of output using the prices of a selected year
(the base year).
Real GDP better for analysis overtime because it
eliminates the effects of price changes

GDPyear 2 = (100) (50) + (100) (100) = 15,000
In practice, calculating real GDP using the previous
approach is a tedious process because there are so
many goods and services are produced in an economy.
Can simplify the calculation process by using the GDP
deflator.
GDP deflator - a price index that allows us to convert
nominal GDP into real GDP. (note: price index to be
defined later)

44. GNP for cross country comparisons
Convert a country’s GNP to US dollars, or
some common currency, by using the
country’s exchange rate
When comparing income across
countries, it also makes sense to use per
capita estimates → eliminates differences
in population size. E.g. (data is for 1998)
45. PPP Adjusted GNP
PPP – purchasing power parity
GNP is adjusted to account for the fact
that 1 USD when spent in one country
does not buy the same quantity of goods
when spent in another country
E.g. Philippines, 1998 per capita GNP (in USD) =
1050
per capita GNP (PPP adjusted, in USD) = 3,540

Personal disposable income represents the
income that households are free to spend or
save.
It excludes the components of national income
that do not accrue directly to households.
It also includes a few items that are not part of
national income but nonetheless influence the
amount of income that households can spend.
