• Economic growth is very uneven• A look at a satellite photo taken makes this
very clear• Not all area with light have same standard of
living• Some dark areas have low population density
but not all
![Page 8: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Why isn’t the whole world developed?
• Differences in resources• Differences in culture• Maybe part of the answer but not all of it• Consider the next satellite photo of North and
South Korea, countries with similar resources and culture

Why do we care about economic growth?
• Economic Growth is connected to well being• Correlation between GDP per capita and life
expectancy and literacy
![Page 12: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Cost of slow growth in India
• Economic growth was slow in India prior to 1981
• After economic reforms were implemented in the 1980s, per capita growth increased from 1.4 % per year to 2.89 in the 1980s, 4.19% in 1990s and 6.78% from 2001-2006
![Page 14: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Swaminathan S. Anklesaria Aiyar estimates that if economic reforms had taken place 10 years earlier, 14.5 million infant deaths could have been avoided
• In addition there would have bee 261 million fewer illiterates, and 109 million fewer poor people.
![Page 15: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
No Easy Answers
• Will look at growth and development from different perspectives
• Before growth can be explained it must be measured.
• How do we measure size of economy?
![Page 16: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Measurement Issues
• When judging whether the economy is doing well or poorly, it is natural to look at the total income that everyone in the economy is earning.
• Before WWII there were no statistics to measure the size of the whole economy
![Page 17: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
THE MEASUREMENT OF GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT
• Gross domestic product (GDP) is a measure of the income and expenditures of an economy.
• It is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.
![Page 18: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Measurement of GDP
• GDP is the Market Value . . .”– Output is valued at market prices.– Cannot add eggs to cars to oranges directly– GDP is a weighted average– When prices are determined in markets they
reflect the marginal value people place on them.
![Page 19: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Measurement of GDP
• Of All Final . . .”– It records only the value of final goods, not
intermediate goods (the value is counted only once).
– If a baker buys flour, it is not part of GDP, the bread produced from it is. If you buy flour in the supermarket it is part of GDP.
![Page 20: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Measurement of GDP
• Goods and Services . . . “– It includes both goods (food, clothing, cars) and
services (haircuts, doctor visits). • Includes only those goods and services
produced in market– Not those produced at home
• A women marries her gardener and GDP falls• Important to remember because in developing
countries many goods may be produced outside the market
![Page 21: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
– No illegal goods• Prostitution is part of GDP in Nevada, not CA• Important to remember differences in legal structure
when comparing different countries
![Page 22: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Measurement of GDP
• “ . . . Within a Country . . .”– It measures the value of production within the
geographic confines of a country.
• GNP is a similar measure– total value of all final goods and services produced
by a country’s citizens regardless of where produced.
![Page 23: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
GDP and Welfare
• GDP is the best single measure of the economic well-being of a society.
• GDP per person tells us the income and expenditure of the average person in the economy.
• Higher GDP per person indicates a higher standard of living.
• GDP is not a perfect measure of the happiness or quality of life, however.
![Page 24: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
GDP and Welfare
• Some things that contribute to well-being are not included in GDP.– The value of leisure.– The value of a clean environment.– The value of almost all activity that takes place
outside of markets, such as the value of the time parents spend with their children and the value of volunteer work
![Page 25: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Problems with GDP measurement for developing economies
• Does not include non traded goods– Home production– Illegal activities
• Data may not be accurate– Limited resources for data collection– Difficult to count production in agricultural area– Incentive to under report production to avoid
taxes etc
![Page 26: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Growth vs Development
• Growth rate of GDP may rise without development– Discovery of oil or other natural resources
• Development measured by increases in literacy, health care etc.
• Most of the time they are correlated but not always
![Page 27: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
GDP per Capita
• GDP per Capita is GDP per person– GDP/population
• GDP and GDP per capita can be different– China vs. Switzerland
• Which measure is best depends on the problem– Marketing Rolex watches vs. KFC
![Page 28: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Example Ghana
year GDP (PPP) (billion dollars)
GDP per capita(PPP) dollars
2007 32.56 1400
2008 34.94 1500
2009 36.58 1500
![Page 29: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Real Vs. Nominal
• Nominal GDP values the production of goods and services at current prices.
• Real GDP values the production of goods and services at constant prices
![Page 30: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Real vs. Nominal
• An accurate view of the economy requires adjusting nominal to real GDP by using a measure of inflation like the GDP deflator or the CPI.
![Page 31: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Nominal to Real GDP
• Converting Nominal GDP to Real GDP– Nominal GDP is converted to real GDP as follows:
R eal G D PN o m in a l G D P
G D P d efla to r2 0 X X2 0 X X
2 0 X X
1 0 0
Or CPI20xx
![Page 32: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• CPI is calculated by finding how the cost of purchasing a fixed basket of goods changes over time
• Problems to be aware of include– Substitution bias (If relative prices change the
composition of the basket shifts)– Quality changes
![Page 33: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• How do we compare GDP between different countries with different currencies?
• Exchange rates – How much one currency trades for another– Determined by the supply and demand for
currency which depends on traded goods only– Fluctuate daily
![Page 34: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Many goods, like Big Macs are not traded between countries.– Services like haircuts, rents etc,
• These tend to be much cheaper in poor countries than developed countries
![Page 35: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Purchasing Power Parity
• If exchange rates are used to compare the size if these countries to developed countries will make them seem smaller than the really are.
• Should use PPP to compare size of economies across countries– Calculated by taking a basket of goods and finding
how much it costs in different countries
![Page 36: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
How much difference does it make?
• For Ghana in 2009• GDP in official exchange rate was 14.76 billion
dollars• GDP in PPP was 36.58 billion dollars
![Page 37: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Alternate Measures
• Life expectancy, infant mortality, height by age can all be used to judge standard of living
![Page 38: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Growth Calculations
• Growth rate for a year is calculated by (GDPt+1 –GDPt )/GDPt
• Growth rate over N years is calculated by GDPt+N=GDPt(1+g)N
![Page 39: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Examples
• Nominal GDP for Ghana was 16.7 billion dollars in 2008 and 14.9 billion in 2007. What was the rate of growth?
• (16.7-14.9) /14.9 = .12 or 12%
![Page 40: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Do you think these numbers are using exchange rates or PPP?
• Real GDP growth in Ghana was 7.3%, what was happening to prices?
• Prices were Rising
![Page 41: Economic Development. Contact Information Email: Nancy.Virts@csun.eduNancy.Virts@csun.edu Phone: 818-677-2434 or 2462 Office: BB 4256 Office Hours: Tuesday.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d5d5503460f94a3c97e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Examples
• If the GDP of Ghana is 16.7 billion dollars in 2008 and growth rate of GDP is 5% for 10 years, how much will GDP be in 2018?
• GDP 2018=16.7(1+.05)10=27.2
