1. What was Real GDP for 2009? The GDP for 2009 was -3.1 In 2009, GDP started to improve after four quarters of decline during The Great Recession. Nominal GDP for 2009 rebounded to $14.418 trillion Q1: $14,381 trillion Q2: $14.342 trillion Q3: $14.384 trillion Q4: $14.564 trillion Or The Real GDP for 2009 was 13,973.7
a. What does GDP tell us?
The gross domestic product (GDP) is one the primary indicators used to gauge the health of a country's economy. It represents the total dollar value of all goods and services

National income accounting records the level of activity in accounts such as total revenues earned by domestic corporations, wages paid to foreign and domestic workers, and the amount spent on sales and income taxes by corporations and individuals residing in the country.
h. What is the difference between GNP and NI? GNP measures the market value of all final goods and services produced by a country’s citizens or residents. The difference is subtle but important. GNP excludes economic activity that occurs in the U.S. but is owned by foreigners and includes American economic activity that occurs in other countries. GDP is place based whereas GNP is ownership based. So, if a foreigner creates an Internet startup in Silicon Valley, this will count as GDP, but not GNP. If General Electric opens a new plant in Poland, this investment will be included in GNP, but not GDP. i. How did NI change from 2008? In 2008, the money value of GDP expands to $4,500m but during the year, inflation is 3% causing the general index of prices to rise from a 2007 base year value of 100 to 103 in 2008.
j. What caused these changes? The financial crisis was created from the housing bubble and the mortgage industry. Additionally, this caused a fall in national income, which lead growth in GDP in negative territory. I changed
Gross domestic product is the market value of final goods and services produced within a country in a given period. Which this is commonly considered an indicator of the standard of living within a country. Real GDP on the other hand is measure of the value of economic output that adjust for price changes. Nominal GDP is a gross domestic product figure that has not been
Gross Domestic Product or GDP, represents all the goods and services produced within a country’s borders. Measurement of gross domestic products is based on consumption, government spending (at all levels of government), investment, and exports minus imports. The formula for GDP is C + G + I + (X – M). (Colorado Technical University [CTU], 2016). According to the given information the formula for Country A the GDP would be
GDP, or gross domestic product, is the sum total value of all goods and services produced by a country within a given year. To achieve this sum, everything produced and exported, all of the money spent by consumers and government, investments, and many other contributing factors are calculated and combined. A nation’s GDP is used as the main indicator of the economic status of that nation. In general, the higher a country’s GDP is, the greater the health of that country’s economy. However, GDP is not as helpful or accurate a calculation as “real GDP”. Real GDP is a term that refers
Gross domestic product (GDP) is used to measure the size of the economy. GDP is the total value of the final goods and services produced within an economy in a year or quarterly.
The real GDP is determined by using a price deflator, which can tell you how prices have changed from year to year. How the BEA does this is by multiplying the deflator by the nominal GDP. The real GDP is lower than the nominal GDP. When calculating the real GDP the BEA doesn’t include income from U.S. companies, and people from outside the country. They also take out inflation. Then the final product is counted, meaning that if a U.S. citizen makes a shirt and the outfit was made in the U.S. then the value of the outfit as a whole will be counted. When interpreting the GDP it can be used to show investors which companies are growing the fastest. It can help investors know where to invest so they do not lose money. So in conclusion, I hope that I was able to give you guys an idea of what the economy may look like based on recent history and expected future conditions. It’s important to remember that our economy must be thriving for the better if we all want our business to be successful. In my opinion I feel that if we concentrated more on getting our children an education then they would be more productive in the economy. So once again I hope that we all learned something today and good luck on all of your business endeavors.
Gross Domestic Product, also known as GDP, is defined as the dollar value of all final goods and service produced within the border of a country during a specific period of time, typically in one year. GDP measures the value for the whole country, and it also changes quickly. We can take a look at the trends of US GDP in the website of the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The one way one can comprehend the United States economy is through looking at its GDP (Gross Domestic Product). Gross Domestic Product is the statistic employed to measure the aggregate output of the nation (Mankiw, 2011). More so, GDP is described as the total monetary value of finished services and goods that are produced in the country at a specific period in time. GDP is considered one of the principal pointers that gauge the health of a nation's economy and it is calculated in inflation-adjusted terms or in real terms (King, Gans & Mankiw, 2011). GDP entails all of public and private consumption, investments, government outlays, exports minus importers of a country. It is therefore calculated through the following formula GDP=C (consumption)+G (Government spending)+I (Investment)+NX(Exports-Imports) (Mankiw, 2011).
In class, we have looked at what exactly the GDP is and the different ways of calculating it. Consumption by households, investment by businesses, government purchases, and expenditures by foreigners yield the GDP and is one of two ways to calculate the number discussed in class. Although the other way, the income approach, is more extensive both methods should in theory provide you with the same number.
GDP is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. GDP is basically the measure of a nation's total income and is an important tool in explaining a single society's economic well-being (Mankiw, 2009).
GDP is short for Gross Domestic Product and the dictionary defines it as “Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the broadest quantitative measure of a nation's total economic activity. More specifically, GDP represents the monetary
GDP consists of Gross (before taking into consideration the depreciation in the value of the product), Domestic (within the borders of a country) and Product which simply means a good or service. So what does it all mean when all these three factors are interlinked? GDP is simply the market value of all the final goods and services produced within a country in a given time period – usually a year (Parkin et al. 2005: 438).
The Gross Domestic Product growth rates have declined from the years 2005 to 2008, then increased from the years 2009 to 2010 dramatically, but started to

Gross Domestic Product, also known as GDP, is defined as the value of goods produced and services provided in a country during one year. Gross Domestic Product is important in the culture of economics because in the United States, we use it to measure the well-being of the economy. Gross Domestic Product is measured in quarters, there are four quarters in one economic year. Say the Gross Domestic Product is down 10% in Quarter One and then in Quarter Two the Gross Domestic Product has gone up by 15%. You subtract 15% from 10% and then you are left with 5%. Therefore, the economy, or the Gross Domestic Product, has grown by 5% since the last quarter. If the Gross Domestic Product was never measured, we as Americans would not know if the economy was growing, shirking, or staying the same.
Gross Domestic Product (or known as GDP), is defined as, “aggregate output as the dollar value of all final goods and services produced within the borders of a country during a specific period of time, typically a year” (McConnell, Brue, & Flynn, 2012). This measures the value of the output in monetary terms, and you can check current trends of the GDP by taking a look at the Bureau of Economic Analysis website. Today, we are taking a look at the “Release Highlights” link to check the most current trends within the GDP.
