Week 10 - Introduction to Economic Indicators: GDP, GNP, NNP, and NI

Introduction to Economic Indicators: GDP, GNP, NNP, and NI

Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

  • Definition:
    • GDP measures the total value of goods and services produced within a country's borders during a specific period, typically a year or a quarter.

Gross National Product (GNP)

  • Definition:
    • GNP measures the total value of goods and services produced by a country's residents, both domestically and abroad, during a specific period.

Net National Product (NNP)

  • Definition:
    • NNP measures the total value of goods and services produced by a country's residents after accounting for depreciation, or the loss of value of capital goods over time.

National Income (NI)

  • Definition:
    • NI measures the total income earned by a country's residents, including wages, rents, interest, and profits, during a specific period.

These economic indicators are important for assessing a country's economic performance and are commonly used by economists, policymakers, and businesses. Understanding these concepts can help develop a deeper understanding of a country's economic health.

Ekonomik Göstergelere Giriş: GSYİH, GSMH, NMH ve MG

Gayri Safi Yurtiçi Hasıla (GSYİH)

  • Tanım:
    • GSYİH, genellikle bir yıl veya bir çeyreklik süre içinde, bir ülkenin sınırları içinde üretilen mal ve hizmetlerin toplam değerini ölçer.

Gayri Safi Milli Hasıla (GSMH)

  • Tanım:
    • GSMH, belirli bir dönemde, bir ülkenin vatandaşları tarafından, hem ülke içinde hem de yurtdışında üretilen mal ve hizmetlerin toplam değerini ölçer.

Net Milli Hasıla (NMH)

  • Tanım:
    • NMH, bir ülkenin vatandaşları tarafından üretilen mal ve hizmetlerin toplam değerini, sermaye mallarının zamanla değer kaybını dikkate alarak ölçer.

Milli Gelir (MG)

  • Tanım:
    • MG, belirli bir dönemde, bir ülkenin vatandaşlarının kazandığı toplam geliri, ücretlerden, kira gelirlerinden, faizlerden ve karlardan oluşan gelirleri ölçer.

Bu ekonomik göstergeler, bir ülkenin ekonomik performansını değerlendirmek için önemlidir ve genellikle ekonomistler, politika yapıcılar ve işletmeler tarafından kullanılır. Bu kavramları anlamak, bir ülkenin ekonomik sağlığı hakkında daha derin bir anlayış geliştirmenize yardımcı olabilir.

Week 22: Economics of Information

  Week 22: Economics of Information – Adverse Selection & Moral Hazard 1.  Introduction to the Economics of Information The  Economics of Information  deals with how information (or lack of it) affects decision-making in markets. In many real-world markets, buyers and sellers do not have equal access to information — this situation is called  information asymmetry . Two major problems arise from information asymmetry: Adverse Selection  – problems that occur  before  a transaction takes place. Moral Hazard  – problems that occur  after  a transaction has been made. 2.  Adverse Selection Definition: Adverse selection occurs when one party in a transaction has more information than the other before the deal is made, leading to a selection of undesirable outcomes. Key Points: Happens  before  the contract/transaction. Often arises because sellers know more about the product’s quality than buyers. Can result in “bad” ...

Week 21: Game Theory

  Nash Equilibrium and Dominant Strategies 🔹  1. What is Game Theory? Game Theory is the study of strategic interactions where the outcome for each participant depends on the actions of all. It analyzes  how players make decisions  when their choices affect each other. Widely used in economics, politics, business, and biology. 🔹  2. Dominant Strategy A  dominant strategy  is the best choice for a player, no matter what the other players do. If a player has a dominant strategy, they will always prefer it since it yields a better or equal payoff regardless of opponents' actions. 🔹  3. Nash Equilibrium The  Nash Equilibrium  is a situation where no player can improve their outcome by changing their own strategy, assuming others keep theirs unchanged. Each player’s strategy is  optimal given the strategies of others . There may be one or more Nash equilibria in a game. It represents a  stable state  where no one benefits by...
