Document Summary
Microeconomics examines j individual units (household, firm/industry) & decision making process. Assumptions: full employment & productive efficiency, fixed resources, fixed technology, 2 goods (consumer & capital) Law of increasing opportunity costs j opportunity cost increases with amount produced, shape steeper. Optimal allocation when, marginal cost = marginal benefit, mc = mb. Gross national product (gnp) j measures total income earned by domestic citizens. Gnp = gdp + net income from abroad. Gross domestic product gdp j market value of final goods & services produced in country during given time period. Final j consumed by ultimate user, end products of production process, total final sales = gdp. Intermediate goods/services j used up in production of final goods/services. Gdp = c + i + g + nx. Nominal gdp j based on prices when output was produced. Real gdp j based on prices in some reference (base) year. Gdp deflator = nominal gdp / real gdp * 100.
