Unit Lesson
This unit is all about “big picture.” In Unit II, we examined supply and demand of individual products in an
economy, such as the demand for pizza. Now, in Unit III, we are moving to the demand for everything
produced in the economy. We are no longer looking at the price of pizza alone but at the average price of all
goods and services produced. Again, start thinking “big picture” as you enter Unit III.
One of the most used economic indicators of a nation’s economic health is gross domestic product (GDP).
News stories about the economy report GDP. Politicians discuss GDP in political debates. Investment groups
follow GDP. Needless to say, GDP is one of those economic indicators that carries a lot of weight when
evaluating the economic health of an economy. Have you ever wondered what GDP means? McEachern
(2019) tells us that GDP measures the market value of all final goods and services produced in an economy
during a given period; this period is usually a year. That means that calculating the GDP for the United States
would mean we would have to add up the value of all the goods and services from dog food to cab rides. It is
easy to see why GDP is one of the most widely reported economic indicators.
GDP is extremely helpful when trying to compare different economies. For instance, the GDP for the United
States in 2016 totaled $18.62 trillion U.S. dollars and equaled $11.19 trillion U.S. dollars for China that same
year (Google, n.d.). The GDP estimates for the United States and China suggest that the value of output of
goods and services produced in the United States was 66% higher than the value of output of goods and
services produced in China in 2016. This is an example of how GDP can be used to evaluate the economic
condition of two separate nations.
