    Study Notes

    National Income Accounting

    • National income is the total monetary value of all final goods and services produced in a country during a financial year.
    • Final goods are those not subject to further production after being created.
    • Consumer goods are directly used for consumption.
    • Capital goods are used for further production.
    • Intermediate goods are inputs used in the production of other goods.
    • Investment is capital formation, the addition to the existing capital stock.
    • Gross investment is the total capital goods produced during a year.
    • Net investment is the new capital formation (Gross investment - Depreciation).
    • Depreciation / Consumption of fixed capital is the loss in value of fixed assets due to normal wear and tear.
    • Stock variables are measured at a point in time.
    • Flow variables are measured over a period of time.
    • Inventory is the unsold output of a firm.
    • Accumulation of inventory occurs when ending inventory exceeds beginning inventory.
    • Decumulation of inventory occurs when ending inventory is less than beginning inventory.
    • Planned accumulation/decumulation of inventory is the deliberate change in inventory levels.
    • Unplanned accumulation/decumulation of inventory is unexpected change in inventory levels.
    • National income is usually calculated using three methods:
      • Product method (value added method): Adds the value added by each firm.
      • Income method: Adds all factor incomes.
      • Expenditure method: Adds final expenditure on goods and services.
    • Net indirect tax (NIT) is the difference between indirect taxes and subsidies.
    • Net factor income from abroad (NFIA) is the difference between factor income earned domestically from abroad and factor income earned abroad from domestic sources.
    • Macroeconomic models illustrate the functioning of an economy.
    • Circular flow of income in a two-sector economy shows the flow of income between firms and households and the factors of production .
    • GDP: The total monetary value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders in a year.
    • GNP: GDP plus net factor income from abroad.
    • NDP: GDP less depreciation.
    • Personal income (PI): The part of national income households receive.
    • Personal disposable income (PDI): PI less personal tax payments and non-tax payments.
    • Per capita income: National income divided by the population.
    • National disposable income (NDI): The income available to residents for consumption and savings, including current transfers from abroad.

    Measurement of National Income

    • GDP can be calculated using three methods: product, income, and expenditure.
    • Product method (value added method): Summing the value added at each stage of production for all firms in an economy.
    • Income method: Summing all factor payments to resource owners (wages, salaries, rents, interest, profits).
    • Expenditure method: Summing all final expenditures on goods and services (consumption, investment, government purchases, net exports).

    GDP Deflator and other price indices

    • GDP deflator: The ratio of nominal GDP to real GDP, used to measure the overall price level in an economy.
    • Consumer Price Index (CPI): Measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services (including imported goods).

    Other Important Concepts

    • Trade deficit: A trade deficit occurs when a country's imports exceed its exports.
    • Budget deficit: The difference between government spending and government revenue.
    • Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The monetary value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period.
