National Income: Definition
National income is the money value of all- final goods and services produced in a county in a year’s time.
* Money Value* All Final Goods &
services* Given Country* Given period of time

Circular Flow of Income Simple Closed Economy
Assumptions: 1. Only two agents : Business Firms and Households
2. No Government; No interaction with other countries
Factor Markets
FirmsHouseholds
Product Markets
Factor Payment (Wage, Rent, Interest, Profit)
Revenue from sale of final goods and service
Expenditure on final goods and services
Factor Income (Wage, Rent, Interest, Profit)

In a state of equilibrium
Factor payments
= Wages + Interest + Rent + Profit
= Household Income
= Household Expenditure
= Value of Final Output
= National Income

UEE 3.2 : Trends in the Components of Factor Income
• In India the factor income is composed of compensation of employees, operating surplus and mixed income of self employed
• Difficulty in distinguishing the wages from operating surplus in the case of mixed income of self employed: no clear trend in different components of income can be ascertained
• The share of organized sector in the total factor income is gradually increasing
• The share of compensation of employees which used to be the dominant component till 2005-06 in the organized sector has decelerated
• Changing composition of income in favour of operating surplus: Indicates growing inequalities in India
• Under a progressive taxation system growing inequalities indicate better revenue collection for the government

Value Added Approach or Net Product Method
Estimation of Value Added
Value Added by the Firm =
Value of Final Output- Value of Intermediate Consumption
_________________________
Income Generated by the Firm = Factor Income
Σ Value Added by the Firms = Value Added in an economy

Domestic Income = Total income (output) produced within the domestic territory of a country
Domestic Income Vs National Income
National Income = Total income (output) produced by the Normal Resident of a country
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
29
Gross Vs. Net One of the important components of national output: output of investment goods However, capital stock depreciates over a period of time Part of the investment may just be replacing the wear and tear in the existing capital stock Therefore, the proper estimate of the national income is the one that takes care of depreciation
I = Gross Investment I – Depreciation (Consumption of Fixed Capital )
= Net Investment
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
30
GDP Vs NDPGross Product Vs Net Product
GDP = C + I + G + X- M
Where I = Gross Investment
GDP – Depreciation = C + (I – Depreciation) + G + X-M
= NDP = Net Domestic Product
= Wage + Rent + Interest + Profit
= Net Value Added
I - DepreciationNet Investment

32
When the government does not Tax and Provide Subsidy
The prices faced by the consumers for different commodities are the same as the cost of producing commodities by the producers
Market Price Vs. Factor Cost
In the presence of Tax and Subsidy
The prices faced by the consumers are different than the total cost of production
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
33
Existence of Indirect Tax: Increases the market price
Market Price > Cost of Production (Factor Cost)
Market Price = Factor Cost + Indirect Tax
Or Market Price – Indirect Tax = Factor Cost
Market Price Vs. Factor Cost
Existence of Subsidy: Lowers the market price
Market Price < Cost of Production (Factor Cost)
Market Price + Subsidy = Factor Cost
Or Market Price = Factor Cost - Subsidy
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
34
Existence of Indirect Tax and Subsidy
Market Price Cost of Production (Factor Cost)
Market Price = Factor Cost + Indirect Tax - Subsidy
Or
Market Price – Net Indirect Tax = Factor Cost
Where Indirect Tax – Subsidy = Net

GDP at fc (estimated at the cost faced by producers)
Wage + Interest + Rent + Profit = C + I + G + X – M – Net Indirect Tax
GDP at fc Vs GDP at mp
GDP at mp (estimated at the price faced by consumers)
C+I +G + X-M = Wage + Interest + Rent + Profit + Net Indirect Tax
= Value Added + Net Indirect Taxes
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
36
GDP at fc = GDP at mp – Net Indirect Taxes
GDP at fc Vs GDP at mp
GDP at mp = GDP at fc + Net Indirect Taxes
Where Net Indirect Taxes
= Indirect Taxes - Subsidies

Problems in the Measurement of National Income
• Exclusion of value of personal services rendered to oneself in the national product accounts
• Omitted market transactions
• Non-market activities and imputation
• Changes in the inventories and inventory valuation adjustment
• Final product- current & constant Rupees
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
41
Non Market Activities and Imputations
• Examples
• Farm production and consumption
• Services yielded by the owner occupied houses
• Wages paid in kind to farm workers
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
42
Non-Market Activities and Imputations
Difficulties in Imputations
• Valuation : at the cost of production or at market price
• Market price may vary if all the supply is marketed
• Quality of the retained output or payment in kind may vary
• Equivalent goods and services may not be available in the market:
e.g.: police and defence
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
43
Changes in Inventories & Inventory Valuation Adjustment
• Difficulties in Valuation
• Official Figures: value the inventories at average price
• Firms: value the inventories at the book value
• Difference: is adjusted as inventory valuation adjustment
• Helps in avoiding the overstating or understating the corporate profits and proprietor’s income and, therefore, national income
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
44
Inter-temporal and Inter-Spatial Comparison of National Income
• Change in Prices
• Changes in Taste
• Changes in Consumption Basket
• Changes in the Quality
• Emergence of New Goods and Services
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
45
Uses of National Income Estimates
• Measure of Economic Growth
• Indicator of Success or Failure of Planning
• Indicator of Structural Change
• Measure of Income Inequalities
• Indicator of the Pattern of Consumption and Investment
• Measure of International and Spatial Comparisons
• Measure of Business Cycles

Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
50
Indicator of Structural ChangesDominant Sector/Stage of Development
Characteristics
Primary/AgricultureEarly Stage of Development
Value addition low: low growth rateLow level of income restricts the demand pattern: Major proportion of the income is spent on agriculture products
Secondary/IndustrySecond (Middle) Stage of Development
Significant transfer of resources from agriculture to industrial sectorValue addition higher than the first stage of developmentDemand pattern becomes more diversified: Demand for industrial products increasesCountries more open to trade & competition
Tertiary/ServicesHighest level of development
Value addition is the highest in servicesDisplaces unskilled labour: More employment opportunities for the skilled labour
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
51
Indicator of Structural Changes
•Surpassing the middle stage of growth •Moving directly from an agrarian economy to a service oriented economy
Underdeveloped physical infrastructure and industrial sector
may constraint the sustainable growth

Measures of Income Inequalities
Gini Co-efficient (G)
G = Area Bounded by the 45 degree line and the Lorenz curve Entire area below the 45 degree line
= A / (A +B)
Range for G
0 ≤ G ≤ 1
G = 0 : Perfect equality in income distribution
G = 1 : Complete inequality in income distribution
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
60
Measures of Income Inequalities
Robin Hood Index ( R )
R = The value of the maximum vertical distance between the Lorenz curve and the 45 degree
line
Value of the index provides an estimate of the income that needs to be transferred
from the population above the mean to those below the mean
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
61
Measures of Income Inequalities
Quantile Ratio ( Q )
• Persons are ranked on the basis of income from the lowest to the highest• Divided into equally sized groups
Distribution of population • 5 equally sized groups: Quantile• 10 equally sized groups: Deciles• 100 equally sized groups: percentiles
First Quantile = First Two Deciles
= First 20 Percentiles
One quantile is compared with another to estimate the level of inequality, i.e.,
Q (P2)/ Q(P1) where P1 & P2 are percentile

Indicator of the Pattern of Consumption and Investment
The GDP measured using expenditure approach reveals Consumption Pattern
The changes in expenditure pattern reflects the changes in demand pattern
Business organizations can use this information to avoid the mismatch between demand and supply

International and Spatial Comparisons
Problems in Inter Spatial Comparison
• NI of different countries expressed in different currencies
• Different countries experience different degrees of price levels
• Countries vary in terms of population size
Accounting for the Difference
Population Variation: Per Capita Income
Currency Variation: Use of Common Currency
Price Level Variation: Purchasing Power Parity
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India
64
International and Spatial Comparisons
Purchasing Power Parity(PPP)
Process
Construct a common representative basket of goods and services
Collect the prices of commodities in the selected basket
Estimate un-weighted bilateral price ratios (parities)
Aggregate un-weighted parities using the expenditure data
Convert the GDP or per capita income into a common currency and the price level
Veena Keshav Pailwar copyright@Prentice-Hall of India

• For the countries dependent on industrial activities the IIP can be taken as the representative
• For primarily agrarian economies data on the agriculture GDP can be used for measuring business cycles
