Here are the steps to solve this exercise: 1) GDPMP = GDPFC + Indirect Taxes - Subsidies = 30,000 + 4,000 - 2,000 = 32,000 2) GNPMP = GDPMP + NFIA = 32,000 + (7,500 - 9,000) = 30,500 3) NNPMP = GNPMP - Depreciation = 30,500 - 2,000 = 28,500 4) NNIMP = NNPMP - Indirect Taxes + Subsidies = 28,500 - 4,000 + 2,000 = 26,500 5) NDPMP = NNP

3. How do we measure the performance
of an economy?
A country’s economic performance is measured by
indicators of National Income ( GDP or GNP).
Performance of an economy is the level of production
(of goods and services) or total economic activity.
It estimate’s the total value of production in an economy.

4. Definition of National Income
“National income is a measure of the total market value of the
goods and services (output) produced by an economy over a
period of time (normally a year)”.
1) It is a Monetary Measure
2) Goods and Services to be counted only once
( Final goods and not intermediate goods)

5. Need for the Study of National Income
A national income measure serves various purposes regarding
economy, production, trade, consumption, policy formulation, etc.
1. To measure the size of the economy and level of country’s
economic performance.
2. To trace the trend or speed of the economic growth in relation
to previous year(s) as well as to other countries.
3. To know the structure and composition of the national income
in terms of various sectors and the periodical variations in them.
4. To make projection about the future development trend of the
economy.

6. 5. To help government formulate suitable development plans and
policies to increase growth rates.
6. To fix various development targets for different sectors of the
economy on the basis of the earlier performance.
7. To help business firms in forecasting future demand for their
products.
8. To make international comparison of people’s living standards.
However it has its own “Limitations”……….

7. 3 Interpretation of National Income
National Income = National Product = National Expenditure

The sum of values of all goods and services produced
( Production).

The sum of all incomes, in cash and kind, accruing to factors of
productions in a year (Distribution).

The sum of consumers, investment and government expenditure
(Expenditure).

8. Circular Flow of Income

Modern Economy is a monetary economy

Money act a medium of Exchange

A circular flow of money or income exist

Each money flow is in opposite direction to real flow

Flow of money income will not always remain constant

9. Economy
Household Sector
Firms or Business Sector
Government Sector
Foreign Sector

10. Two Sector Model of Income
Distribution
Factor Payments
Rent, Wages, Interest, profits
Economic Resources
Land, Labour, Capital, Enterprise
Business Firms
Households
Goods and Services
Consumption Expenditure

11. Assumptions



No savings from household or business firms
Government has no role in the national economy
It’s a closed economy

12. Three Sector Model of Income
Distribution
What if household save?



The expenditure on goods and services decline
Savings reduces the flow of money expenditure to the business firms
Firms hire fewer workers / reduce factor payments
Causes a fall in Economy's Total Income.

Hence savings a “leakage” from the money expenditure flow
Savings = Investments

Investment is injection of money in circular flow of income

14. What if
Investment ≠ Savings?
Investment < Savings






Stocks of goods will Increase
Demand reduces
Production falls
Investment in capital goods will fall
Income , output and employment Falls
Flow of money contracts

Which leads to

Rate of interest falls

Leads to increase in investment
Hence
Savings = Investments

15. What if
Investment ≠ Savings?
Investment > Savings






Stocks of goods will falls
Demand rises
Production rises
Investment in capital goods will rise
Income , output and employment increases
Flow of money expand

Which leads to

Rate of interest rise

Leads to increase in savings
Hence
Savings = Investments

16. Why are poor countries poor?

Economic Wealth :
 Man-made resources (road, factories, machines, communication
system)
 Human Resources ( Hard and education)
 Technological Resources ( High tech machinery)

Poor countries should grow rich by investing money in physical resources
and developing human and technological resources.

Poor countries should grow faster as new investments have the biggest
rewards.

Rich countries don’t gain much from further investments:
“ law of diminishing returns”

17. Why are poor countries poor?

So what should they do?
 They should improve there education, technology and infrastructure.
 Since the Returns for investors are high, there should be no
shortage of Investment.
 Countries should take loan from banks for reconstruction and
development.
 Countries can take foreign aids from rich countries.

This didn’t happen? WHY?
 Except for countries like Taiwan, South Korea, China, India,
Singapore

18. Money Flows with Government
Sector






Government absorbs a good part of the incomes earned by
Households.
Government purchases goods and services from firms
Government spends on capital goods, infrastructure, defence,
education and health etc.
Household and firms pay taxes to Government.
Government also finance their expenditure by borrowing from the
financial market
Hence the Government
 Intervenes and take preventive and corrective action to
stabilise an Economy

23. India’ GDP growth rate
05-06
06-07
: 9.2%
: 9.4%
07-08
: 9%

24. Economic Development
Phase 1 : Pre-1991

Policy tended towards
 protectionism,
 with a strong emphasis on import substitution,
 industrialisation,
 state intervention in labour and financial markets,
 a large public sector,
 business regulation, and
 central planning.

Faced crises like
 Wars – China (61) & Pakistan (65, 71)
 Oil crisis (73, 79)
 Severe Draughts (65-67)

25. Economic Development
Phase 2 : Post-1991

Late 80’s
 Policy changes
 Eased restrictions on capacity expansion for incumbents,
 Removed price controls and
 Reduced corporate taxes.

This increased the rate of growth,
 But led to high fiscal deficits and a worsening current account.

Balance-of-payment crisis
 The collapse of the Soviet Union, which was India's major
trading partner.
 Gulf War, which caused a spike in oil prices.

26. Concepts of National
Income

27. The basic concepts…
 GNP
vs GDP
 Market Price Vs Factor costs
 Gross Vs Net
 Nominal Vs Real
 PI


( Personnel Income)
Disposable Income
Per capita

28. GDP vs GNP
 Gross
Domestic Product (GDP)
GDP = C + I + G + (X-M)
“sum total of values of goods & services
produced in the country, in a given year”

29. GDP vs GNP
 Gross
National Product (GNP)
GNP = GDP + net factor income from abroad
“sum total of values of goods & services produced
by the nationals of a country, in a given year”

30. Net factor income from abroad:
Is the difference between

income received from abroad by the normal residents
of India for rendering services in other countries and

the income paid to the foreign residents for the
services rendered by them in India.

31. GDP vs GNP
 Gross
National Product (GNP)
GNPMP = GDPMP + net factor income from abroad
GNP = C + I +G + (X-M) + (R-P)
R =
P =
Income receipts from abroad
Income paid abroad

32. Requirements for Calculating GNP





It measures the market value of annual output
It’s a Monetary measure
GNP accounts for goods that are traded through official market
i.e free of cost are not included
All good and services must be counted once
Income earned through illegal activities are not included

33. GDP Vs GNP

GDP

Used when the purpose is to measure the product generated in a
country.


i.e. whatever is produced in India, will go to constitute GDP, no
matter even if foreigners have contributed towards it
GNP

Used when the purpose is to measure the product that accrues
to the citizens of a country.

i.e. whatever is produced by Indian nationals whether inside or
outside the country will form GNP of India

34. Market Prices Vs Factor Costs

The GNP / GDP can be estimated at



Market Prices
Factor Cost
The Market Prices is a resultant of


Indirect Taxes; and
Subsidies

Factor Cost =
Market Price – Indirect Taxes + Subsidies

Hence Factor Cost estimates are more ‘real’.

35. Gross Vs Net

In the process of creating national product – there is erosion
of total productive assets

Net estimates account for this erosion (called Depreciation)

Net
=
Gross - Depreciation

36. Nominal Vs Real

The price trend does not remain constant, it can rise or fall.

Hence the estimates in terms of money value will increase as
price of commodities have risen even if their physical output
hasn’t.

Economic Growth implies increase in real or physical output
than the rise in money value of output.

Adjustment of the National Income figures for the change in
prices needs to be done. – Deflating the NI

‘Real’ estimates account for this increase in prices

37. Nominal Vs Real

Increase in Price

:
Is denoted by Price Index
Price Index

Selection of Base year

Price Index for Base year is taken to be 100

Price Index for the current year


: (Current base year 1999-2000)
Current Year Prices / Base Year Prices X 100
So if Price index is 145 – then prices as compared to Base year
have increased by 45%

38. Nominal Vs Real

Factor Cost (NNPFC)
It refers to the sum of all incomes earned by factor owners for their
contribution of factor services namely land, labour, capital and
enterprises in the form of rent, wages, interest and profit.
NI = NNPFC = NNP MP - Indirect Taxes + Subsidies

41.  Personal
Income (PI)
It is the sum of all incomes received by all individual or households
during a given year.
PI = National Income + Transfer payments – (Social security +
Corporate Income tax + Undistributed Profits)
Transfer Payments = Incomes which are not earned but received
( Old- age pensions, unemployment compensation, relief payments)

42.  Disposable
Income (DI)
DI= Personal Income – Personal Taxes
Or
Disposable income can either be consumed or saved
DI= Consumption ( C) + Savings (S)
DI includes Transfer payments
It is the total income earned and unearned of individuals minus
direct taxes.

43.  Per
Capita Income (PCI)
Per capita income (or) output per person is an indicator to show
the living standards of people in a country.
If real PCI increases, it is considered to be an improvement in the
overall living standard of people.

NDPFC
 NDPFC
=
GDPMP – D + S – T
+
NFIFA
We will now estimate NDPFC by the 3 methods

54. 3 Interpretation of NI
National Income = National Product = National Expenditure
Y= O=E

The sum of values of all goods and services produced
( Production).

The sum of all incomes, in cash and kind, accruing to factors of
productions in a year (Distribution).

The sum of consumers, investment and government expenditure
(Expenditure).

55. Sectors used for Estimates

56. 3 Methods of estimating NI
1.
Value Added Method
2.
Income Method
3.
Expenditure Method

57. 1. Value Added Method

Called as Output or Production method

Value added is the difference between a firm’s sales and its
purchase of raw materials and services from other firms.

The economy is divided into different industrial sectors:
Agriculture, fishing, mining, manufacturing, construction,
trade, transport, communication ..............

Contribution of each enterprise to the generation of flow is
measured

2. Value of production for self
consumption
2.
3.
Sale and purchase of second

Value of intermediate goods
Value of services of Housewives

61. 2. Income Method

It approaches NI from distribution side

To produce goods and services we require the factors of production

The owners of these factors participate in the production for which
they receive INCOME – Wages, rent, interest and profit.

It identifies the productive enterprises and classify them into various
sectors

It’s the sum of incomes of all individuals of a country

Summation = Total Expenditure
C + G + I + (X-M) = GDPMP
Subtract : Depreciation
GDPMP – D = NDPMP
Subtract : Indirect taxes
NDPMP – (S-T) = NDPFC

67. Precautions
Not to be included in NI
1.
Sale and purchase of second hand goods
2.
Expenditure on intermediate goods
3.
Expenditure on Transfer Payments
4.
Purchase of shares and Bonds as they do not
add to NI.

68. In Sum
 Value

Added
NI = (P-D) + (S-T) + (X-M) + (R-P)
 Income

NI = (w + r + i + n) + (X-M) + (R-P)
 Expenditure

NI = (C + I + G) + (X-M) + (R-P)

69. Choice of Method

Choice of Method depends upon
i) The purpose of national income analysis
ii) Availability of necessary data

The task of estimating NI in India is with CSO ( Central statistical
organization)

CSO uses output and Income method
 Output Method – Agriculture and Manufacturing
 Income Method - Services
