Study Notes

National Income Aggregates

National income aggregates measure a country's economic performance, indicating overall output and income generation.
They help assess economic well-being and inform economic policy-making.
Key aggregates: GDPMP, NDPMP, GNPMP, NNPMP, GDPFC, NDPFC, GNPFC, NNPFC.

Gross Domestic Product at Market Price (GDPMP)

Represents the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a specific period (usually one year).
Includes production by both residents and non-residents within the national territory.
Classified as "Gross" meaning depreciation is not accounted for; it includes total production without considering capital wear and tear.
"Market Price" indicates that indirect taxes are included, while subsidies are excluded.
Formula: GDPMP = Value of output - Intermediate Goods.

Net Domestic Product at Market Price (NDPMP)

Measures the net market value of final goods and services produced domestically, excluding depreciation.
Derived from GDPMP by subtracting depreciation (consumption of fixed capital).
Reflects the value of goods and services produced while considering capital depreciation.
Formula: NDPMP = GDPMP - Depreciation.

Gross National Product at Market Price (GNPMP)

Represents the market value of goods and services produced by a country’s residents, both domestically and abroad.
Calculated by adding Net Factor Income from Abroad (NFIA) to GDPMP.
Formula: GNPMP = GDPMP + NFIA.

Net National Product at Market Price (NNPMP)

Reflects the market value of goods and services produced by residents, both internally and externally, after accounting for depreciation.
Provides a clearer view of an economy’s productive capacity after wear and tear on capital.
Formula: NNPMP = GNPMP - Depreciation.

Gross Domestic Product at Factor Cost (GDPFC)

Indicates the total value of goods and services produced within a country, measured by the cost of factors of production (wages, rent, interest, and profit).
Excludes indirect taxes and includes subsidies, focusing on costs incurred to produce goods.
Formula: GDPFC = GDPMP - NIT (where NIT = Indirect Taxes - Subsidies).

Net Domestic Product at Factor Cost (NDPFC)

Obtained by deducting depreciation from GDPFC, representing the net value of production at factor cost.
Also referred to as Domestic Income.
Formula: NDPFC = GDPFC - Depreciation.

Gross National Product at Factor Cost (GNPFC)

Represents the market value of goods and services produced by residents, evaluated at factor cost.
Confirms production efficiency by valuing output based on inputs used in the production process.
Further details on NNPFC would follow similarly, measuring national income at cost factors.
