Study Notes

National Income Accounting

  • National income accounting describes the fundamental functioning of a simple economy, including how the aggregate income of an economy can be viewed in a circular manner, and how national income can be calculated (product, expenditure, and income methods).
  • Adam Smith's "An Enquiry into the Nature and Cause of the Wealth of Nations" is a foundational work in economics, exploring factors determining a nation's wealth, contrasting resource wealth with production processes.
  • Economic wealth isn't tied solely to natural resources, but rather how resources are utilized in production flows.
  • Production is a combined effort of human labor and environment, within societal and technological structures.
  • Final goods are those not undergoing further transformation, unlike intermediate goods used in further production.
  • Consumption goods are for direct consumption, while capital goods are durable items used in production (tools, equipment).
  • Stocks represent quantities at a specific point in time (e.g., inventory), while flows represent quantities over a period of time (e.g., production).
  • Depreciation is the estimated loss of capital value due to wear and tear.
  • Nominal GDP uses current prices, posing challenges for comparing across time periods, differing countries, or different years.
  • Real GDP is calculated using constant prices, allowing for accurate comparisons of economic output.
  • GDP deflator measures the change in prices using a base year.

Circular Flow of Income and Methods of Calculating National Income

  • A circular flow diagram visually represents the continuous flow of income between firms and households.
  • Households spend income on goods and services from firms.
  • Firms use income to pay for factors of production (rent, wages, interest, profit) impacting household income.
  • Methods of calculating national income: product, expenditure, income.
  • Calculating value added is crucial for avoiding double counting.
  • Intermediate goods are not included, only the final goods to prevent double counting the value of goods more than once.

Some Macroeconomic Identities

  • GDP is a measure of the total value of all the final goods and services produced in a country.
  • GNP includes factor income earned from abroad.
  • NNP removes depreciation from GNP.
  • National income is the NNP at factor cost
  • Personal income is the National income less corporate taxes and undistributed profits
  • Personal disposable income includes a deduction for personal taxes.
