Factors Affecting National Income V. Uses of National Income Statistics VI. Limitations of National Income * * * I. Concepts & Meaning of National Income National income is a measure of the total flow of earnings of the factor-owners through the production of goods & services. In a simple way, it is the total amount of income earned by the citizens of a nation. All incomes are based on production. In this sense, national income reflects the level of aggregate output. The term national income carries at least 2 meaning in economics. The total value of the level of aggregate output is called Gross National Product or G.N.P. G.N.P. is a measure of the total market value of all final goods & services currently produced by all the citizens of a nation within a period, usually a year. There are a few points important here: * It measures how much people produce. * It counts current production only. * It counts the level of output with a market value. * It relies on the market prices of goods & services as a measure. II. Measurement of National Income There are mainly 3 approaches...

...C10-13 May 30, 2014 President, Tenth National Bank From: Student Subject: Removal of Asbestos and purchase of office building This is in regards to the removal of asbestos from the buildings owned by Tenth National Bank and the cost for the eradication of the project. The buildings are property, and are considered important components of a company’s assets. I researched assets in accordance to FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concept No. 6, par. 25 states that assets are probable future economic benefits obtained or controlled by a particular entity as a result of past transactions or events. Also, Concept No. 6, par. 26 states does the asset have the essential characteristic that it embodies a probable future benefit that involves a capacity, singly or in combination with other assets, to contribute directly or indirectly to future net cash inflows. Tenth National Bank knowingly knew prior to the purchase of the office building that it contained asbestos. Perhaps, the estimated $2 million is a cost to prepare the office building for its headquarters for the use in the normal course of business. However, as Concept No. 6, par. 6 states: will the asset embody a probable future benefit that with contribute to the future cash flows. Under these assumptions, I recommend the $2 million should be capitalized to the cost of the office headquarters. Tenth National Bank did not know prior to purchase of the shopping mall that it contained asbestos. There are a few...

Frameworks of Comparison Within the limits of the broad concepts underlying interindustry and national income accounting, the substance of this paper deals with, first, criteria of social accounting and, second, differences in analytic approach required by the specialized structure of differently composed social accounting systems. A pattern of interindustry flows of goods and services may, of course, be developed independently of considerations of social accounting or of measures of output for the economy—the two objectives of the national income system. This paper, however, seeks to evaluate the two systems of accounts, in the light of the considerations noted above, in terms of (1) similarities and differences between types of activities and transactions included, (2) the relationship of the respective sector accounts, and (3) the types of analysis...

...Introduction Leading and decisive role in the formation and development of the economic structure of any modern society is government regulation, carried out under the authority of the chosen policy. One of the most important mechanisms that allow the state to carry out economic and social regulation is financial mechanism- the financial system of the society, the main element of which is the state budget. Through the financial system the state forms centralized funds and influences the formation of decentralized funds, providing the opportunity to carry out functions of state authorities. The state budget, as the main means of mobilization and expenditure of resources of the state gives to political power a real opportunity to influence the economy, to encourage the development of priority sectors of the economy, provide social support to vulnerable population groups. Budget – an important prerequisite and a mean of reproduction process. By means of the budget conditions for implementation of social programs, ensuring safety of environment, stimulation of scientific and technical progress, maintenance of defense capacity, and performance of other state functions are created. Relevance of this course work is that the central place in the financial system of any country is the state budget – the largest pool of money that the government uses to finance its activities. At the expense of the state budget the army, police, non-productive sphere, apparat of state administration...

...sterile class. Malthus, Sismondi and Marx in the 19th century dealt with macroeconomic problems. Walras, Wicksell and Fisher were the modern contributors to the development of macroeconomic analysis before Keynes. Certain economists, like Cassel, Marshall, Pigou, Robertson, Hayek and Hawtrey, developed a theory of money and general prices in the decade following the First World War. But credit goes to Keynes who finally developed a general theory of income, output and employment in the wake of the Great Depression.

In other words, it is aggregative economics which examines the interrelations among the various aggregates,...

...many Households, firms, and markets at once. * Macroeconomists address diverse questions: * Why is average income high in some countries while it is low in others? * Why do prices rise rapidly in some periods of time while they are more stable in other Periods? * Why do production and employment expand in some years and contract In others? * What, if anything, can the government do to promote rapid growth in Incomes, low inflation, and stable employment? * These questions are all macroeconomic in nature because they concern the workings of the entire economy. * Because the condition of the overall economy profoundly affects all of us, changes in economic conditions are widely reported by the media. Indeed, it is hard to pick up a newspaper without seeing some newly reported statistic about the economy. The statistic might measure the total income of everyone in the economy (GDP), the rate at which average prices are rising (inflation), the percentage of the labor force that is out of work (unemployment), total spending at stores (retailsales), or the imbalance of trade between the united states and the rest of the world (the trade deficit). All these statistics are macroeconomic. Rather than telling us about a particular household or firm, they tell us something about the entire economy.

...Development Introduction When the concept of international development was initially developed in the post-World War II era, the countries of the First World had 65 percent of the world’s income with only 20 percent of its population, while the Third World was home of 67 percent of the world’s population but had only 18 percent of its income. People embraced the word development as a desirable objective of postwar economic policy in the late 1940s. "Development" was not precisely defined, but it was taken to mean improved economic opportunity by increasing production of goods and services in a long-term way, through capital formation. In short, it was associated with economic growth. In the 1960s the association of development with economic growth came under increasing criticism by authors such as Dudley Seers, Gunnar Myrdal, Paul Streeten, Hollis Chenery, Mahbub ul Haq and institutions like the International Labour Organisation (ILO). They pointed out that developing countries did not experience much change in the living conditions of the masses of the poor in spite of the impressive growth figures in the post-World War II period and came to the conclusion that development involves more than economic growth and changes in economic structures. Other critics like Amartya Sen went even further and challenged the too narrow focus on the economic dimensions of development alone. Amartya Sen (1999) explained the concept of development focusing on the concept of freedom. He sees...

...i) Concept of public finance The concept of public finance deals with the budgeting techniques of the income and expenditures of a public sector organization, normally a government or federal organization. Public finance is also termed as government finance and is an important sector of economics . The concept of public finance focuses on these relationships and functions may be considered special as they include: Procuring public goods, arranging and funding various transfers (particularly in the social area), directing entities existing in the economy towards socially desirable behaviours; for instance through taxes, penalties, subsidies and other stimuli and charges. In order to arrange the funding of the above-mentioned areas, there is a fiscal system (public budgeting system) whose aim is to collect the required amount of public revenue. Public revenue serves, at various levels of public budgets (governmental, regional and local), to fund public expenditures. Public expenditures, public revenue and particularly taxes may be considered to be the fundamental elements of public finance. Important terms derived from these three elements include deficit, public debt, budgetary policy and fiscal policy. The development of public finance is connected with economic mechanisms that should ideally lead to the effective and fair allocation of limited resources. ii) Major economic functions of any government in the world Governments have in charge different functions for different...

...UNIT I NATIONAL INCOME AND MACROECONOMICS 1 National Income National Income is defined as the sum total of all the goods and services produced in a country, in a particular period of time. Normally this period consists of one year duration, as a year is neither too short nor long a period. National product is usually used synonymous with National income. Alfred Marshall in his ‘Principle of Economics’ (1949) defines National income as “The labour and capital of a country, acting on its natural resources, produce annually a certain net aggregate of commodities, material and immaterial, including services of all kinds…..and net income due on account of foreign investments must be added in. This is the true net National income or Revenue of the country or the national dividend.” Irving Fisher defined national income as “The national dividend or income consists solely of services as received by the ultimate consumers, whether from their material or from human environments. Thus, a piano or an overcoat made for me this year is not a part of this year’s income, but an addition to capital. Only the services rendered to me during this year by these things are income.” Central Statistical Organization defines National income as “National Income is the sum of factor income earned by the normal residents of a country in the form of wages, rent, interest and profit in an accounting year.” Concepts of National Income There are different concepts of National Income, namely; GNP...
