ECON 1010 Chapter Notes - Chapter 20 - 22(1-3), 23: Gdp Deflator, Frictional Unemployment, Labour Force Survey
Document Summary
Gross domestic product (gdp): the market value of the final goods and services produced within a country in a given time period. Market value: the prices at which items are traded in markets. Gdp values items at their market value. Final good (or service): an item that is bought by its final user during a specified time period. To calculate gdp, we find the value of the final goods and services produced. Intermediate good (or service): an item that is produced by one firm, bought by another firm, and used as a component of a final good or service. If we add the value of intermediate goods and services produced to the value of final goods and services, we are double counting. Depends on what it"s used for and not what it is, something can be an intermediate in one situation and a final in another.
