1.2.1 - The relationship between GDP and aggregate expenditure.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) refers to the monetary value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.

There are two approaches to measuring GDP:

  1. Expenditure approach - The expenditure approach attempts to calculate GDP by evaluating the sum of all final good and services purchased in an economy.

  2. Income approach - The income approach looks at the final income in the country.

In a macroeconomic equilibrium, output = spending = income where all income are spent on all goods and services produced. - There is no tendency for change in equilibrium, a state of stability. - The free market is more instable, but will reach towards equilibrium through the automatic adjustments of demand and supply.
