More import. APEX
A actual increase in GDP.
what's the answer?
Check the inflation rate, and the real GDP. If inflation also is very high, nominal GDP could increase despite there not being any increase in output.
To find the increase in GDP per capita, you first need to calculate the GDP per capita for two different time periods. This is done by dividing the GDP by the population for each period. Then, subtract the earlier GDP per capita from the later one to determine the increase. Finally, you can express this increase as a percentage by dividing the increase by the earlier GDP per capita and multiplying by 100.

An increase in government spending on welfare programs would likely not increase GDP if the spending is not effectively stimulating economic activity and productivity. If the spending does not lead to increased consumption, investment, or exports, it may not have a significant impact on GDP growth.
Why doesn't an increase in aggregate demand translate directly into an increase in real GDP
Any increase or decrease inÊa persons income is included on the GDP. The rent on a two-bedroom apartment is an increase in income and would be included.
From such an action (increase in government spending by 5 billion and a Marginal Propensity to Consume of 90%), the GDP would increase (in the scope of simplicity) by 4.5 billion. This is because government expenditures is counted in GDP, and in this case 90% of it is consumed by the populace, so 5B * .9 = 45B. But, being that the GDP is Consumption + Gross Investment + Govt. Spending +(-) Imports/exports, one could suggest that the GDP would increase by just 5B because that which is not consumed is saved (and thus invested).
The GDP would likely not increase because 'crowding-out' implies that the public sector is reducing private sector investment. Since usually there are additional costs to government spending because of collection and distribution, I would expect crowding out must be less efficient than private investment could be and, therefore, GDP would not increase due to crowding out but would likely fall.

It probably would affect GDP because people getting social security would have more money to spend so they would be able to buy more goods and services. Have a look at GDP in Wikipedia for more information.
