14、onsumption spending by households on goods and services, with the exception of purchases of new housing; (2) Investment spending on capital equipment, inventories, and structures, including household purchases of new housing; (3) government purchases or spending on goods and services by the local, p

16、product (GNP).GDP is the value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given year; while GNP is the total income earned by a nations permanent residents or nationals (that is, Canadians). GNP differs from GDP by including income that citizens of the nation (Canada) earned aboa
17、rd, and excluding income that foreigners earn in the particular country (E.g. in Canada).Differentiate between real GDP and nominal GDP.Nominal GDP is the value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a year and valued at current prices; and real GDP is the GDP valued at constan
18、t base year prices. Real GDP is not affected by changes in the level of prices, so it reflects only changes in the amounts being produced.Explain why GDP is not considered a perfect measure of well- being?GDP is not considered a perfect measure of well-being because some of the factors that contribu
19、te to a good life are omitted. These would include: leisure time, the quality of the environment, the distribution of income, and the production of goods and services that did not pas through the market (for example, housework done by the homemaker, and volunteer work)How do economists measure econo
20、mic growth?Economists measure economic growth as the percentage change in real GDP from one period to another. This is because changes in real GDP reflect only changes in the amounts being produced.CHAPTER 24: MEASURING THE COST OF LIVINGThe GDP deflator reflects the prices of goods and services bou
21、ght by consumers,and the consumer price index reflects the price of all final goods and services produced domestically.The consumer price index compares the price of a fixed basket of goods and services to the price of the basket in the base year. On the other hand, the GDP deflator compares the pri
22、ce of currently produced goods and services to the price of the same goods and services in the base years.Indexation refers to the automatic correction of a dollar amount for the effects of inflation by law or contract.Long term contracts between firms and unions will sometimes include partial or co
23、mplete indexation of the wage to the consumer price index. This is called a cost-of-living allowance clause.The core inflation rate is the consumer price index with the exclusion of the most volatile components such as energy and food.In the CPI, goods and services are weighted according tohow much
24、a typical consumer buys of each item.whether the items are necessities or luxuries.how much of each item is produced in the domestic economy.how much is spent on them in the national income accounts.By not taking into account the possibility of consumer substitution, the CPIunderstates the standard
