Under the heading “national income accounting,” we consider the different ways in which the national economic pie can be sliced into its component parts. 2．This is more than just simple accounting. While we dissect GDP, we are actually learning how the many sources of aggregate demand can be added together to determine total national income, and just why a nation’s income and output must necessarily be the same. （二）教学内容 1．主要内容 1） The Production of Output and Payments to Factors of Production Y = (w x N) + (i x K) + profit 2）Outlays and Components of Demand 3）Some Important Identities 4）Y = C + I + G + NX fundamental national income accounting identity YD = C + S uses of disposable income YD= Y + TR – TA sources of disposable income BD = G + TR – TA definition of the budget deficit S - I = (G + TR - TA) + NX 5）Measuring Gross Domestic Product 6）Inflation and Price Indices 7）Unemployment 8）Interest Rates and Real Interest Rates 9）Exchange Rates 2．基本概念和知识点 Gross domestic product (GDP) Consumer price index (CPI)

Real GDP values goods and services at constant prices. Real GDP rises only when the amount of goods and services has increased, whereas nominal GDP can rise either because output has increased or because prices have increased. 3 ） GDP is the sum of four categories of expenditure: consumption, investment, government purchases, and net exports. 4）The consumer price index (CPI) measures the price of a fixed basket of goods and services purchased by a typical consumer. Like the GDP deflator, which is the ratio of nominal GDP to real GDP, the CPI measures the overall level of prices. 5）The unemployment rate shows what fraction of those who would like to work do not have a job. When the unemployment rate rises, real GDP typically grows slower than its normal rate and may even fall. （三）思考与实践 Consider an economy that produces and consumes bread and automobiles. In the following table are data for two different years.

In this chapter we study how potential output⎯the output that would be produced if all factors were fully employed⎯grows over time. 2. To better accomplish this, we learn growth accounting and the fundamentals of neoclassical growth theory. Together, they tell us that output growth results both from improvements in technology and from increases in one or more of the inputs to the production process⎯capital, labor, and natural resources. Neoclassical growth theory also tells us that in the long run, growth in potential output results entirely from technological improvement. （二）教学内容 1．主要内容 1) Growth Accounting Growth accounting The Cobb-Douglas production function The marginal product of labor and capital 2) Empirical Estimates of Growth Convergence Total factor productivity The importance of human capital 3) Growth Theory: The Neoclassical Model The neoclassical growth model The steady-state equilibrium : sf(k*) = (n + d)k* k* represents the steady-state value of k. The steady-state value of y is y* = f(k*). The golden-rule capital stock
