“… of all…”

And sold legally in markets
Excludes most items
Produced and consumed at home
“… final…”
Value of intermediate goods is already included in
the prices of the final goods
“… goods and services…”
Tangible goods & intangible services

Goods and services currently produced
Y = C + I + G + NX
Y = GNI
C = consumption
I = investment
G = government purchases
NX = net exports (export - import)
Consumption, C
Spending by households on goods and services
Exception: purchases of new housing
Investment, I
Spending on capital equipment, inventories, and
structures
Household purchases of new housing
Inventory accumulation
Government purchases, G
Government consumption expenditure and gross
investment
Spending goods and services
By local and national governments
Does not include transfer payments
Net Exports, NX = Exports – Imports
Exports
1. Excludes imports
2. Excludes intermediate goods
3. Excludes products not produced within the period of
time accounted
Approaches:
1. Expenditure approach
2. Income approach
3. By Industrial Origin
Gross Domestic Product
GNP / population
Example:
Coffee Pandesal
Year Price Quantity Price Quantity
2012 Php 10 400 Php 2.00 1,000
2013 11 500 2.50 1,100
2014 12 600 3.00 1,200
Inflation
Economy’s overall price level is rising
Inflation rate
Percentage change in some measure of the price
level form one period to the next
Inflation in year 2
= GDP deflator in year 2 – GDP deflator in year 1 X 100
GDP deflator in year 1
Example:
Year Nominal Real GDP GDP Deflator
GDP
2005 6,000 6,000 100.0
} 14.6%
2006 8,250 7,200 114.6
} 12.2%
2007 10,800 8,400 128.6
Compute real GDP in each year:
2005: 100 x (6,000/6,000) = 100.0
2006: 100 x (8,250/7,200) = 114.6
2007: 100 x (10,800/8,400) = 128.6
Expenditure Approach
Essential features:
1. Direct payments to resource owners factors
2. Resource owners contribute to transform products into higher
forms
3. Excludes imports and previously produced inventories
Other Concepts of NI Accounting
According to source: PI = W + D + E + TP
Where W = wages; D = dividends or distributed profits; E =
entrepreneurial and property income of persons
W + D + E all represent production or economic income of persons
Industrial Origin Approach
