8 How Do You Measure an Economy? Most common measure is the Gross Domestic Product Called GDP. Per the Webster Dictionary The total value of the goods and services produced by the people of a nation during a year not including the value of income earned in foreign countries. Economist s definition can be complex and confusing. 4

9 How Do You Compare the GDP of One Country to Another? Nominal GDP Convert the country s foreign currency denominated GDP using the foreign exchange rate. Purchase Power Parity GDP (PPP GDP)- Convert the country s foreign currency denominated GDP using a measure of equal buying power. Why is there a difference: PPP gives a better view of the purchasing power of a country s currency within that economy. A country may keep its exchange rate artificially low in order to facilitate exports. 5

10 Nominal vs. PPP GDP Lets look at China: 2013 Nominal GDP = $8.9 trillion 2013 PPP GDP = $13.4 trillion A Difference of over 50% of Nominal GDP! All amounts in this presentation are per the CIA World Fact book, retrieved Some data is not totally consistent so I have either supplemented or estimated some amounts. 6

11 China The CIA World Fact book says: Because China's exchange rate is determined by fiat, rather than by market forces, the official exchange rate measure of GDP is not an accurate measure of China's output; GDP at the official exchange rate substantially understates the actual level of China's output vis-a-vis the rest of the world; in China's situation, GDP at purchasing power parity provides the best measure for comparing output across countries 7

12 Let s look at large numbers 1,000,000 = Million (Six zeros) 10,000,000 = Ten Million (Seven zeros) 100,000,000 = Hundered Million (Eight zeros) 1,000,000,000 = Billion = 1,000 million (Nine zeros) 10,000,000,000 = Ten Billion (Ten zeros) 100,000,000,000 = Hundered Billion (Eleven zeros) 1,000,000,000,000 = Trillion = 1,000 Billion (Twelve zeros) Note This is the US and British standard, also called Short Scale. In Large Scale countries, Billion = 12 zeros 8

13 The World Economy PPP GDP Total World PPP GDP is $87.2 Trillion, Population is 7.2 Billion. GDP and Population by Geographic Region.

15 Population Darker= Larger Population A third of the world population is in China and India 11

16 Per Capita GDP Divides the GDP by the Population. Allows comparison of countries of dissimilar population sizes. Is a measure of the standard of living in the country. Is an average, so there are outliers in the population, both high and low. 12
