    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.
