Growth of GDP and Types of GDP
1.Current GDP is expressed in the GDP at current prices
for the period to measure.
2. The nominal GDP growth of GDP growth in nominal (unadjusted
for price changes).
3. Real GDP growth is adjusted for price developments.
Calculation of actual prices allows economists to determine
whether production has increased or decreased, little change
in the purchasing power of money.
The income account of GDP
Another way of measuring GDP is to measure the total income
payable in GDP income accounts. In this situation, we will
sometimes hear of gross domestic income (GDI), rather than
gross domestic product. This should provide the same number
as the expenses described above. (By definition, GDI = GDP.
In practice, however, measurement errors will both figures
slightly when declared by the National Statistical Offices.)
The formula for GDP measured in income approach, called GDP
(I), is:
GDP = compensation of employees + gross operating surplus
gross mixed income + + Taxes less subsidies on production
and imports
* Compensation of employees measures the total compensation
of employees for work done. It includes salaries and wages,
as well as employer contributions to social security and other
programs. (COE)
* Gross operating surplus is due to the excess of the owners
of businesses. Often called profits, but only a subset of
total costs are subtracted from gross output to calculate
GOS
* Joint Revenue Gross (GMI) is the same as the GOES, but also
for unincorporated businesses. This often includes smaller
companies.
The sum of the WCC, GOS and GEM is called total factor income,
and measures of the value of GDP price (core) difference between
the base price and the final price (the ones used in the calculation
costs) is the total of taxes and subsidies that the government
receipts and payments on the production. So, by adding taxes
less subsidies on production and imports converts GDP at factor
cost in relation to GDP (I).
The formula:
GDP = C + I + P + W + SA
Where is R = rent, I = Interest, P = profits
SA = statistical adjustments (corporate income taxes, dividends,
the undistributed profits
of companies)
W = Wages
Measurement’s of International standards
International standard’s
The international standard for measuring GDP is contained
in the book System of National Accounts (1993), which has
been prepared by representatives of the International Monetary
Fund, European Union, Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development, United Nations and the Bank World. The publication
is normally designated as SNA93, to distinguish it from the
previous edition published in 1968 (known as SNA68).
SNA93 provides a set of rules and procedures for the measurement
of national accounts. The standards are designed to be flexible,
to take account of differences in the statistical needs and
conditions.
National Measurement
In each country's GDP is normally measured by a national
government statistical agency, as private sector organizations
do not normally have access to necessary information (in particular
information on expenditure and production by governments).
GDP can be measured expenditure of all goods and services.
GDP can also measure all income earned.
Interest rate’s
Net interest expense is a transfer payment in all sectors
except the financial sector. Interest expense net in the financial
sector is seen as the production and value added and is added
to the GDP.
