Methods to calculate the National
Income

• Product or Output Method:
  – Utilizes the overall value of goods and
    services produced by the country,
  – The output of a production unit can be the
    input for another unit,
  – Hence, this method suffers from ‘double
    counting.’
• Income method:
  – Utilizes the overall income generated by
    various factors of production
  – Includes employee wages, income of self-
    employed people, profits earned by business
    houses, etc.

                                                 www.company.com
Methods to calculate the National
Income

• Expenditure method:
   – Sum of all the expenditures incurred by the
     economy,
   – The formula to calculate aggregate
     expenditure is:
• E = C + I + G + (X-M)
   –   Where,
   –   E = Expenditure
   –   C = consumer expenditures
   –   I = domestic investment
   –   G = total value of government expenditures

•   Radical change in the price level
•   Depreciation

Conclusion


• National income not totally reliable
• Lot of items excluded
• Non-conventional estimating procedure
  used
• Gives somewhat approximate values
• Yet, vital in planning for the future
• Provides necessary statistics
• National Income – very important!
