Market sectors
Industries (within a sector)
End with evaluation of specific

all final goods and services produced within a
country.
Nominal, measured in current dollars
Real, adjusted for changing prices
Gross National Product (GNP): total value of
all final goods and services produced by
factors of production owned by citizens of a
country regardless of production location
Growth rates of both can be used as an initial
estimate of a firm’s growth rate
Business Cycle
Expansion
Period of economic growth
Increased need for PP&E, labor, inventory
Peak – high point following expansion
Recession
Contraction following a peak
Rising unemployment, decreased need for factors of
production
Two quarters of falling real GDP
Business Cycle
Trough – low point following recession
Depression
Prolonged and severe recession

Cyclical firms are sensitive to stages of the
economic cycle.
Inflation
Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures
inflation of a market basket of consumer
goods
Producer Price Index (PPI) measures inflation
at the wholesale level
Higher inflation, higher required risk-free rate
of interest
Impacts all companies and all industries (to
varying degrees)
Economic Indicators
