Creator: John Maynard Keynes
In thinking about the overall health of the macroeconomy, it is useful to consider three primary goals: economic growth, full employment (or low unemployment), and stable prices (or low inflation). Economic growth ultimately determines the prevailing standard of living in a country.
Macroeconomics focuses on the performance of economies – changes in economic output, inflation, interest and foreign exchange rates, and the balance of payments. Poverty reduction, social equity, and sustainable growth are only possible with sound monetary and fiscal policies.
The following equation is used to calculate the GDP: GDP = C + I + G + (X – M) or GDP = private consumption + gross investment + government investment + government spending + (exports – imports). It transforms the money-value measure, nominal GDP, into an index for quantity of total output.
There are 5 common terms in macroeconomics that are considered in aggregate: output, gross domestic product ( GDP ), production, income, and expenditures. Economic output is the aggregate output of goods and services by an economy, which is also how GDP and production are defined.
