Study Notes

Chapter 6: Determination of National Income

  • Learning Outcomes: Students will understand national income definitions, significance, various concepts, calculation methods, the Indian system of regional accounts and challenges in national income computation.

Unit 1: National Income Accounting

  • National Income Accounting: A macro-economic system, starting from product/service production to final disposal.
  • Usefulness and Significance of National Income Estimates: Crucial for macroeconomic analysis, especially in emerging/transition economies; assisting businesses in forecasting demand.
  • Concepts of National Income: Includes nominal GDP (GDPMP - value of all final goods/services produced within a country), and real GDP which adjusts for price changes.
  • Measurement of National Income in India: The Central Statistical Organization (CSO) compiles the statistics. At the state level, State Directorates of Economics and Statistics (DESs) compile their State Domestic Product and other aggregates.
  • Challenges in National Income Computation: Various obstacles include data inadequacy, non-monetized sectors, difficulties in self-employment measurement and consumption estimation.

Different Concepts of National Income

  • Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The basic measure of output, valued at market prices.
  • Nominal GDP/GDPMP: Value of all final goods/services produced in a country in a given period.
  • Real GDP: GDP adjusted for price changes over time (using a base year), crucial for comparing production over time.

Real GDP Growth Rate and Inflation Rate

  • The graph displays the fluctuations in real GDP growth rate and inflation rate over time.
  • Real GDP growth rate is important to measure the economic health of a country.
  • Inflation rate can be a significant macroeconomic variable.

GDP Deflator

  • A price index used to convert nominal GDP to real GDP.
  • It measures the current price level relative to the base year's prices.
  • The deflator of the base year is always 100.

Net Domestic Product (NDP)

  • NDP is equivalent to GDP minus depreciation (the wearing out/obsolescence of capital goods).
  • It measures the net amount of goods produced in a given period, considering the consumption of fixed capital.

Gross National Product (GNP)

  • GNP is the market value of all final goods/services produced by a nation's residents, including those produced abroad.
  • GNP MP = GDP MP + Net Factor Income from Abroad (NFIA).
  • NFIA = net compensation of employees + net income from property and entrepreneurship + net retained earnings.

Net National Product (NNP)

  • NNP MP represents the market value of final goods and services produced by a country's residents, adjusting for depreciation.
  • NNP MP = NDP MP + NFIA
  • NNP FC = NNP MP - Net Indirect Taxes

GDP at Factor Cost (GDPFC)

  • GDPFC is equivalent to GDP at market prices (GDPMP) minus net indirect taxes. Measurement of output created within a domestic territory.

National Income (NI)

  • This is the sum of factor incomes from within a country, plus net factor income from abroad.
  • Factor incomes are compensation to employed individuals + income from entrepreneurial activities + investment income.

Per Capita Income

  • GDP per capita is total GDP divided by population, an indicator of a country's standard of living and, therefore, its welfare.

Personal Income (PI)

  • PI is the total amount of income received by individuals for consumption and savings. This value differs slightly from national income.
  • PI = NI + Non-factor income received - Non-factor income paid

Disposable Personal Income (DPI)

  • Disposable income is personal income less mandatory payments (taxes, etc.). This is the amount that individuals have available for consumption or saving decisions.
  • DI= Personal Income- Personal Income Taxes-Non-tax Payments

Measurement of National Income in India

  • The Indian system uses a three-phased strategy, including (1) Value added, (2) Income and (3) Expenditure techniques.
  • Data collection and consistency are difficult due to various reasons in the Indian system.

Limitations and Challenges of National Income Computation

  • Difficulties arise from determining a precise definition of national income, accurate distinction between final goods and services, and dealing with transfer payments.
  • Ensuring reliability and accuracy in data collection and measurement is a significant task in various economic contexts, particularly in developing economies.
