How Real GDP is measured? Explain Real GDP of the United States at present time.
The top table describes an economy's labor market and the bottom table describes its production function. Potential GDP is $ ____ .
The Importance of Productivity Two well-known economists, William Baumol and Alan Blinder, have stated that, in the long run, “nothing contributes more to reduction of poverty, to increases in leisure, and to the country’s ability to finance education, public health, environmental improvement and the arts” (1991, 356) than the rate of growth of productivity. 1. Define productivity. 2. See if you can verify Baumol and Blinder’s very strong claim (“nothing contributes more ...”) through the following exercise. Assume GDP in the United States is $10 trillion and that the labor force remains constant in size and fully employed. Estimate the value of GDP in one year’s time if productivity growth is 3%. What if it were only 2%? How much will GDP fall in two years’ time if productivity growth remains at 2% rather than 3%? In three years? 3. Why might environmental regulation reduce productivity growth? 4. Why might it increase…

Refer to the table below for a very simple economy producing three goods: movies, pizzas and cars. Steel panels are needed for car production, cheese is necessary for making pizzas and CGI service is used for movie production. What is the nominal GDP for the economy in 2021? What was the nominal GDP in 2016? What is the real GDP in 2021 using 2016 prices as base year prices? What is the real GDP growth rate between 2016 and 2021?
1.3 Read the following extract and answer questions 1.3-1.5.South Africa’s economy grew by 1.1% in the first quarter of the year. Stats SA has published the latest gross domestic product (GDP) data covering the first quarter of the year, showing that the economy grew by 1.1% in the first three months of 2021. The growth follows a revised 1.4% rise in real GDP in the fourth quarter of 2020. On an annualised basis, the economy grew 4.6% quarter-on-quarter. Following confusion caused by the annualisation of GDP data in 2020 – amid the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns – Stats SA said it would no longer use the annualised data as the headline GDP statistic. During periods of steady economic growth, annualising is a useful way of expressing quarter-on-quarter performance in annual terms, Stats SA said. However, during periods of economic instability, annualising can be misleading, because it exaggerates growth rates that are unlikely to be repeated. The central problem that is…

Gorgonzola is a small island nation with a simple economy that produces only six goods: sugar cane, yo-yos, rum, peanuts, harmonicas, and peanut butter. Assume that half of all sugar cane is used to produce rum, and one-fifth of all the peanuts are used to produce peanut butter. Use the production and price information in the table to calculate real GDP for 2013, 2014, and 2015 using 2014 as the base year. What is the growth rate of real GDP from 2013 to 2014 and from 2014 to 2015?

Which of the following economic indicators NOT including those four would you likely see to support this analysis of the economy? The consumer confidence index is likely rising Inflation (the general price level of goods and services) is likely increasing Stock share prices are likely decreasing New businesses are likely being opened
Suppose an economy consists of only three goods, as shown in this Table: What is real GDP in 2020 and 2021? How much (in percentage terms) did real GDP change between 2020 and 2021?
