Is GDP a good enough indicator of understanding the economy? How GDP contributes to growth and development of a nation? What is GDP? The gross domestic product (GDP) is an aggregate measure of total economic production for a country and represents the market value of all goods and services produced by the economy during the period measured, including personal consumption, government purchases, private inventories, paid-in construction costs and the foreign trade balance (adding exports and subtracting imports). Gross domestic product, adjusted for inflation, also known as "real GDP", can tell economists whether an economy is growing or contracting from year to year or from quarter to quarter, a key determinant in deciphering whether the economy is expanding or in a recession.

This study is based on how the portfolio turnover ratio affects the returns of the mutual funds. Portfolio turnover is a valuable tool to analyze the investment strategies of a Fund Manager, fund cost structure and tax exposure. It helps in measuring how actively the Fund manager manages the portfolio investment. The rate of trading activity in a fund’s portfolio is the lesser of purchases or sales of the portfolio securities for a financial year divided by the average value of portfolio securities during the year. If a fund has 100 percent turnover rate that means the fund manager, in theory has sold every single stock position once.

Housing Markets: Their Effect on the Economy Shanee A. Stevens ECON220-F4WW Professor John Edwards July 1, 2011 Housing Market: Their Effect on the Economy To define Economics one would study the supply and demand of the nation. A formal definition of Economics found in the Collins English Dictionary is “the social science concerned with the production and consumption of goods and services and the analysis of the commercial activities of a society.” We are all impacted by economics daily whether by gas we need in our cars, unemployment, the housing market or by natural disasters which cause goods to be depleted. Class Expectations What I would like to receive from the class is a better understanding of how the economy works and how we as consumers impact the highs and lows. I would also like to learn more about the causes of our recession and what steps the government is taking to alleviate these causes. Moreover, I would like to know how a natural disaster in another nation can impact our economy here.
