Study Notes

Chapter 6: Determination of National Income

  • This unit covers national income accounting and Keynesian theory.
  • National income is the net value of all economic goods and services produced within a country in one year, plus net factor income from abroad.

Unit 1: National Income Accounting

  • National income accounting is a system of macroeconomic accounts that tracks the production of goods and services, from their initial stage to final disposal.
  • Simon Kuznets and Richard Stone pioneered national income accounting.
  • The Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) within the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSP & I) compiles national account statistics at the national level.
  • State Directorates of Economics and Statistics (DESs) handle the compilation at the state level.

Unit 2: Keynesian Theory

  • Keynesian theory is a macroeconomic theory developed by John Maynard Keynes explaining how income is determined.
  • This unit looks at income determination in single-sector and multi-sector models.

The Two-Sector Model

  • This model involves two sectors: households and firms.
  • Households own factors of production and consume goods/services produced by firms.
  • Firms produce goods/services and sell to households.

Circular Flow

  • Circular flow depicts a continuous flow of goods and money between the sectors in an economy.
  • The outer loop represents the flow of goods and services (factors of production to firms, production to households).
  • The inner loop represents the flow of money payments (factor payments from firms to households, consumption expenditure from households to firms).

Aggregate Demand (AD)

  • Aggregate demand (AD) in a simple economy is the total value of goods and services demanded by households and firms in an economy.
  • AD = C + I (where C is consumption expenditure and I is investment expenditure)

Aggregate Supply (AS)

  • Aggregate supply is the total production of goods and services that all producers in an economy supply in a given period (equal to national income).
  • AS = National Income

Consumption Function (C)

  • This function shows the relationship between aggregate consumption and disposable income.
  • Consumption (C) = Autonomous consumption (cÌ„) + Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) x Income (Y).

Saving Function (S)

  • This function shows the relationship between saving and income
  • Saving (S) = -Autonomous saving + Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) x Income (Y).

Equilibrium Level of National Income

  • The equilibrium level of income (Y) in a two-sector model is where AD = AS (consumption plus investment equals national income).

Other Factors Influencing National Income

  • Government expenditure - Government spending on goods and services
  • Net exports - Exports minus imports

Multiplier Effect

  • The multiplier shows how an initial change in investment expenditure can create a larger change in national income.
  • Higher the MPC (marginal propensity to consume), the higher the investment multiplier.

Equilibrium with factors other than investment (three-sector model)

  • This model includes a third sector—the government—and analyzes the effect of governmental functions on national income and how equilibrium is reached.

Equilibrium in a four-sector model

  • Equilibrium involves the four sectors (household, firms, government and foreign) interaction in the flow of goods and national income, as exports & imports are considered as part of the aggregate expenditure (AD) and leakages from the country's economy.

Limitations of National Income Computation

  • Lack of agreed-upon definition
  • Distinguishing final goods from intermediate goods
  • Difficulty of incorporating transfer payments
  • Difficulty of valuing newly produced goods
