Chapter 6: Determination of National Income

  • This chapter covers national income accounting, including definitions, concepts, calculation methods, and challenges in India.
  • Learning outcomes include understanding national income, its usefulness and significance, different concepts of national income, calculation methods, India's measurement system and regional accounts, and computation challenges.

Unit 1: National Income Accounting

  • National income accounting is a macro-economic system for tracking production and final disposal of goods and services.
  • National Accounts define concepts and construct measures for them.
  • They show interrelations in transactions and illustrate how the economy works.
  • The Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) is responsible for compiling National accounts statistics in India.
  • State Directorates of Economics and Statistics (DESs) compile State Domestic Product.
  • National income estimates are fundamental for macroeconomic analysis and forecasting future demand in economies.
  • National income estimates shed light on income distribution and its inequality.
  • They allow comparisons of various economic factors like investments, taxes, fiscal deficits, and government expenditures to GDP.
  • These estimates aid decisions on loans and conditions for their provision.
  • Combined with financial data, national income guides economic policy on growth and inflation.

Different Concepts of National Income

  • Gross Domestic Product (GDP): Measures the value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders in a given period. Values are at market prices.
  • Nominal GDP: GDP valued at current prices, representing both production volume and price increases.
  • Real GDP: GDP valued at constant prices (e.g., 2011-12), eliminating price changes' effects. Measures changes in production only.
  • GDP Deflator: A price index relating nominal GDP to real GDP, measuring overall price changes.

Determination of National Income

  • National income estimates show how the economy is composed and structured.
  • It tracks periodical variations and broad sectoral shifts.
  • Governments use sectoral contributions to national income for developing specific policies aimed at boosting growth rates.
  • National income statistics play a key role in macroeconomic modeling and analysis.
  • National income helps to evaluate policies and provides quantitative basis for assessment and choice of policies.
  • National income estimates showcase income distribution inequalities among different income groups.
