Expenditure Method
Accounting Identity
Expenditure on goods and services by final users must
equal the value of their production.
Components of Expenditure
Consumption (C) purchases by Households
Investment (I) purchases by Firms
Government (G) Government purchases
Net Exports (NX ) net purchases by foreign
sector
NX = Exports (X) Imports (M)
27
28
Income Method
GDP also equals the aggregate incomes paid to
Labour (L)
Capital (K)
in the production of goods and services.

Chain Weighting
For any two consecutive years compute the growth
rates of real GDP implied by both the Laspeyres and the
Paasche indexes.
Then take the average of the two growth rates and this
is the chain-weighted growth rate. This can be used to
compute a real chained-weighted GDP.
Finally to compute a change index over a long period,
the above approach is applied on a year-by-year basis.

Rent (2 bedroom flat)

Total Expenditure

$850
CPI =
Cost of base-year basket of goods and services in
current year
Cost of base-year basket of goods and services in base
year
CPI = $850/$680 = 1.25

Costs of Inflation
Important to distinguish between relative price
change and a change in the general price level
Shoe-leather costs inflation reduces the real
purchasing power of a given amount of money
Menu costs real costs of changing prices
Introduces noise into the price mechanism
Distorts tax systems (if not indexed to inflation)
Unexpected re-distributions of wealth

r = real interest rate
i = nominal interest rate
= inflation rate
