Study Notes
National Income and Related Concepts
- National Income is the total value of a country’s final output of all new goods and services produced in a year.
- Personal income represents the income of individuals, while disposable income is what remains after direct taxes are paid.
- In India, the local sector holds the maximum share in National Income.
Calculating Gross National Product (GNP)
- GNP does not require per capita income of citizens for its calculation.
- Four elements are crucial for calculating GNP: private investments, net foreign investments, and purchase of goods and services.
Monetary Policy and Deflation
- Deflation is associated with a decrease in money supply in relation to available goods and services.
- Market prices are used to measure national output.
Budgeting and Fiscal Policies
- Government expenditure during periods of depression and unemployment should be in deficit to stimulate the economy.
- Revenue deficit is defined as the difference between total expenditure and total receipts, excluding loans. Fiscal deficit is more comprehensive, including the need for loans.
Business Cycles
- The trough of a business cycle occurs when aggregate economic activity hits its lowest point.
- Expansion occurs when real GDP is increasing, while the peak is the highest point of economic activity.
- Business cycles reflect the natural rise and fall of economic growth over time.
Tools of Monetary Policy
- Qualitative tools include credit rationing, while quantitative tools involve setting reserve requirements and interest rates.
- The money market is where loans can be obtained, while reverse repo rate is the rate at which the RBI borrows from commercial banks.
Inflation and Interest Rates
- Inflation refers to rising price levels and decreasing money value, typically caused by factors like deficit financing and structural deficiencies.
- Lower interest rates generally lead to increased demand for money within the economy.
Budget Definitions and Government Roles
- A balanced budget occurs when revenue equals expenditure; surplus and deficit budgets show gains and losses, respectively.
- The Finance Minister is responsible for presenting the Union Budget before the Parliament.
National Income Measurement
- India's gross domestic product (GDP) can be calculated using the formula GDP = C + G + I + NX, where C is consumption, G is government spending, I is investment, and NX is net exports.
- The household sector is the most significant contributor to domestic savings, while issues like non-monetized consumption can complicate national income calculations.
Indicators and Economic Stability
- Coincident indicators reflect economic performance and align with real GDP fluctuations.
- Fiscal policy aims to balance public spending with tax rates to achieve economic stability.
Key Contributions to Savings and Income Calculation
- The largest contributions to Gross Domestic Savings come from the household sector, while certain types of incomes, such as unemployment allowance, are excluded in national income calculations.
- Measurement of national income relies on production figures of goods and services, underlining its importance in economic health assessments.
