Study Notes
Basics of National Income Accounting
- National Income can be calculated through three primary methods: Total Factor Income (Income Method), Total Spending (Expenditure Method), and Value of Total Output (Output Method).
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP) represents the total market value of all final goods and services produced in an economy over a specified time period.
Key Components of GDP Calculation
- GDP focuses on final goods and services to prevent double counting, adhering to 'Gross Value Added'.
- Excludes resale of pre-owned goods, transfer incomes, and only counts goods/services currently produced.
- Considers production within a country’s geographical boundaries, regardless of the producer's nationality.
Components of GDP Formula
- GDP formula: GDP = C + I + G + NX.
- C: Household spending on goods and services, excluding new homes.
- I: Business investments including capital equipment and inventories.
- G: Total government spending, excluding transfer payments.
- NX: Net Exports (Exports minus Imports).
Additional National Income Concepts
- Gross National Income (GNI) derived by adding net receipts (NR) to GDP: GNI = GDP + NR.
- Disposable Income calculated as: Disposable Income = GDP/GNI + pensions + unemployment allowances - direct taxes.
- Per capita measures for GDP or GNI show average economic output for individuals: GDP/GNI per capita = GDP/GNI/Population.
Nominal vs Real GDP
- Nominal GDP reflects current market values, while Real GDP adjusts for inflation: Real GDP = Nominal GDP/Inflation Deflator × 100.
- Real GDP provides a more accurate representation of economic growth and living standards over time.
International GDP Comparisons
- GDP comparisons between nations are adjusted to USD based on exchange rates or purchasing power parity (PPP).
- PPP accounts for price level differences, offering a more accurate reflection of the average individual's well-being globally.
Economic Growth Trajectory of India
- India’s GDP grew from below 500billionbeforethe1990stoover500 billion before the 1990s to over 500billionbeforethe1990stoover4 trillion by 2024, indicating significant economic advancement.
Strategies for Improving GDP/GNI
- Enhance business environment through political stability, property rights, rule of law, and support for entrepreneurs.
- Increase savings and investments both domestically and from foreign sources.
- Promote globalization with emphasis on free trade and financial flows.
- Improve quality of life via social infrastructure (health, nutrition, education) and physical infrastructure (sanitation, transport, energy).
Summary of National Income Concepts
- GDP can be estimated at current prices (Nominal GDP) or adjusted for inflation (Real GDP).
- Understanding GDP and its components is critical for assessing economic health and formulating policies for growth.
