Study Notes

  • National income is defined as the market value of all final goods and services produced in an economy during a one-year period.
  • National income can also be defined as the sum total of value added by all producing units in an economy during a one-year period.
  • Macroeconomics studies economic problems and issues at the national level.
  • Key theories under macroeconomics include aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and the general price level.
  • Macroeconomics assumes that microeconomic variables remain constant when studying macroeconomic phenomena, such as output levels.

Meaning of Macroeconomics

  • Macroeconomics is the branch of economics concerned with the performance and behavior of the economy as a whole.
  • Key theories under macroeconomics include aggregate demand, aggregate supply and general price level.

Meaning of National Income Aggregates (with formulas)

  • GDP at MP (Gross Domestic Product at Market Prices): The market value of final goods and services produced by residents and foreigners within a country's borders during a one-year period—including depreciation.

  • NDP at MP (Net Domestic Product at Market Prices): Similar to GDP at MP, but excluding depreciation. Formula: NDPMP = GDPMP − Depreciation.

  • GNP at MP (Gross National Product at Market Prices): Measures the market value of final goods and services produced by residents and non-resident nationals, including depreciation. It also includes net factor income from abroad (NFI).

  • NNP at MP (Net National Product at Market Prices): Similar to GNP at MP, but excluding depreciation. Formula: NNPMP = GNPMP− Depreciation.

  • GDP at FC (Gross Domestic Product at Factor Cost): The sum of factor incomes (rent, wages, salaries, interest, and profits) generated within a country during a one-year period, including depreciation.

  • NDP at FC (Net Domestic Product at Factor Cost): Similar to GDP at FC, but excluding depreciation.

  • GNP at FC (Gross National Product at Factor Cost): The total compensation of all factors of production earning income within a country during a year inclusive of net factor income and depreciation.

  • NNP at FC (Net National Product at Factor Cost): Similar to GNP at FC, but excluding depreciation.

Meaning of Other Concepts

  • Private Income: The sum of income in the private sector, including retained earnings of corporations, and interest from national debt plus net factor income from abroad.

  • Personal Income: Private income minus undistributed corporate profits (corporate savings) and corporate tax.

  • Personal Disposable Income: Personal income minus direct taxes.

Methods of Measuring National Income

  • Output/Product/Value Added Method: Measures national income by calculating the value added at each stage of production (value of output − value of intermediate consumption). This approach avoids double counting.

Precautions in Estimating National Income

  • Avoid double-counting intermediate goods.

  • Include own-account production.

  • Include imputed values of services.

  • Exclude transactions that do not involve production.

  • Consider net factor income from abroad

  • Income Method: Measures national income by summing the incomes received by all factors of production within a country during a specific time period. This method includes labor compensation, operating surpluses, and mixed income.

  • Expenditure Method: Estimates national income by summing the total expenditure on final goods and services produced in a country during a particular period. This approach categorizes expenditures into consumption, investment, government spending and net exports.

Reasons Why GDP is Not a Good Indicator of Welfare

  • Income distribution: GDP increase may not translate to an equivalent increase in welfare if income distribution becomes unequal.
  • Composition of GDP: GDP may rise due to production of non-productive items, such as for military, rather than for products directly consumed by individuals.
  • Non-monetary exchanges: Many exchanges and transactions are not tracked in reported GDP, such as bartering or informal tasks.
  • Externalities: Unaccounted-for negative externalities (such as pollution) or positive externalities (e.g., education) negatively affect the welfare comparison of countries with similar GDP.
