Lecture 3: measuring national income cpt 20 jan 10th, 2018. Stages meaning outputs from one company to outputs to another. We don"t want to do this because the same loaf of bread will get added every stage of the process and we don"t want that. Loaf of bread is still worth the same, so try to avoid double counting. Problem is gov"t doesn"t know what the final consumption good is for. Ex if a restaurant buys food at the grocery store and resells it. Value added = (amount you sell product for) (all parts added/cost to make it) Related to how much people are working and how productive they are. When gdp declines, total production in the economy declines. Try to add up value added by ever firm in the economy; considered best way. We value production based on consumer"s willingness to pay for it. Measure either side of transaction; cost vs. income.
