National Income Accounts: nP Gross national product (GNP)is the value of all final goods and services produced by a nations factors of production in a given time period What are factors of production Factors that are used to produce goods and services: workers (labor services) physical capital (like buildings and equipment,natura resources and others The value of final goods and services produced by Us- owned factors of production are counted as US gNP.

Math Description Final goods sector: produce Y using capital kl labor n1, and materials m, with prices: r, W, p. The production function isY=f(ki, n,m), all the revenue is distributed to capital owners, workers and material producers, i. e. Y=rk +wn,+pm Material goods sector: produce m using capital k2 and labor n2: m=g(k2, n2). The total revenue is distributed to capital owners and workers, pm=rk,+wn, The gnp y is the value of final goods since it already records the value of intermediate goods m. Y is the total income of the nation Y=r(k,+)+w(n,+n, Copyright 2012 Pearson Education. All rights reserved 13-5

National Income Accounts: GNP(cont) GNP is calculated by adding the value of expenditure on final goods and services produced 1. Consumption expenditure by domestic consumers 2. Investment: expenditure by firms on buildings equipment 3. Government purchases: expenditure by governments on goods and services 4. Current account balance (exports minus imports ) net expenditure by foreigners on domestic goods and services Copyright 2012 Pearson Education. All rights reserved 13-6

National Income accounts gnP is one measure of national income but a more precise measure of national income is GNP adjusted for following 1. Depreciation of physical capital results in a loss of income to capital owners, so the amount of depreciation is subtracted from gNp 2 Unilateral transfers to and from other countries can change national income payments of expatriate workers sent to their home countries, foreign aid and pension payments sent to expatriate retirees Copyright 2012 Pearson Education.

National Income Accounts(cont) Another approximate measure of national income is gross domestic product(GDP: Gross domestic product measures the final value of all goods and services that are produced within a country in a given time period.
