25
evaluation of GDP perf capita
can use same issues as GDP remittances aren’t included and not taken into account and they are becoming more significant which increases living standard but not included in GDP per capita. too of using GDP per capital is FDI can distort figure by increasing GDP but profit is remitted back to home country and not domestic
26
GNI and Green GDP
gross national income- the total income earned by a countries factors of production GDP + net factor income green GDP- accounts for the environmental costs of production GDP- environmental costs
27
evaluation for green GDP

labour force survey claimant count
43
labour force survey (LFS)
44
claimant count
45
issues w claimant count
46
evaluation of measures of unemployment
sampling error - sample size is 40000 households so trying to extrapolate from this data can cause error ( marginal error is +/-3) cost - to collect, look at results and interpret data discourages workers - ‘hidden unemployment’ - who keep trying to work but can’t get it so they aren’t counted as unemployed
47
types of unemployment
cyclical classical structural frictional seasonal
48

benefits of unemployment
55
costs of unemployment
56
evaluation for benefits n costs of unemployment
57
measures of inflation
consumer price index ( CPI)
58
consumer price index
59
evaluation of consumer price index
housing costs - don’t include rent/ mortgage/ maintenance/ council tax - spend a lot of money on these things so maybe cpih is more effective as it includes housing costs basket updates too slow- once a year? quick/ good enough? consumer hairs may change sooner so not representative
60
benefits of inflation
that are based on nominal values- maybe less gov spending
61
costs of inflation
62
what are some other cost
63
eval of benefits and costs of inflation

national debt

79
benefits of running a budget deficit
incentive of tax cuts - incentive to work/ work harder - increase immigration and investments increase tax return in LR crowding in - promote private sector investing due to demand they can make more profits
80
costs of running a budget deficit
worsening of current account deficit as growth/ unemployment rises so instead spending on imports - demand pull inflation - reduces competitiveness of exports crowding out x inefficiency- and safe as gov isn’t profit incentive
81
evaluate benefits n costs of running a budget deficits
82
budget surplus
when tax rev is greater than gov spending in a yr
83
benefits of budget surplus/ contraction are fiscal policy
