National income is the value of goods and services earned by a country in a period of time. The country’s income can be measured in 3 different measures which are GDP (gross domestic product), GNP (gross national product) and NNI net national income).Gross domestic product is the total value of all the final goods and services produced in an economy in a year. It is algebraically expressed as GDP=C+ I + G + (X-M). Gross national product/ gross national income is the total income that is earned by a country’s factor of production regardless of where the assets are located, GNP = GDP + net property income from abroad). The income earned from assets minus income paid to foreign assets to foreign operating domestically is known as net property income from abroad. Net national income is computed the subtraction of indirect business taxes and income of foreigners from the GDP. GDP is one of the most commonly used measures to calculate the countries national income. There are 3 three different methods in GDP which can be taken into account: the output method, the income method and the expenditure method. The output method is used to measure the actual value of the goods and services which are being produced. It is usually grouped according the different production sectors in the economy like agriculture, manufacturing and services. The income method is used to measure the value of income earned in an economy. The expenditure method measures the value of all spending on goods and services in the economy. The spending in all different sectors in the economy include spending by households, firms , governments and spending by foreigners on the exports which is subtracted by spending on imports. This is known as net exports. To gather the nat... ... middle of paper ... ... enjoying higher standard of living. Volunteering or community services which lead to a better society are not taken into account. Composition of output: defense goods or capital goods that do not benefit the consumers. This may not raise the living standard of the people with a higher GDP. The balance between investment and consumption: if a lot of sources are provided to the consumers in short run needs, there will be insufficient resources which will be needed in the long run. There might be an improvement in the living standard of people but lead to over exploitation of resources. Leisure time: The GDP also does not involve the leisure time or event the hard work given in by people for producing the output. These days’ jobs are very relaxed and less hard work is involved as GDP does not take these things into account, changes in real income could be understated.
Gross domestic product (GDP) is one of the best ways to measure how a country’s economy is doing. A main component in figuring the GDP is personal consumption expenditures. Personal consumption expenditures accounts for about two-thirds of domestic

Because poor nations have a large population and the population of richer nations is declining. C) because it is the inflation-adjusted value of a country's production of goods and services corrected for the change in a country's population.

Global Inequalities and Interdependence Outline, and discuss the value of some of the indices which geographers have used in attempting to define 'a developing country' Measures of development are defined using a multitude of theories. Some focus on economic indicators, others on the quality of life. The economic indicator uses figures from GDP and GNP, which stand for Gross Domestic Product and Gross National Product respectively. GNP is the total value, or output of goods and services which become available during a period of time for consumption or saving within a country, plus income from foreign investors. This is then measured per head of the population, which gives GNP per Capita.
“GDP is the most important concept of national income is Gross Domestic Product. Gross domestic product is the money value of all final goods and services produced within the domestic territory of a country during a year.” (Thapa.R)
Throughout the years, the United States of America has endured a very strong economy. Although there have been many obstacles of hindrance such as trade deficits, wars, hostile governments and embargo’s, the economic status of the United States still continues to prevail. Just to name a few, the economy of this country survives on simple commodities such as pork, oranges, precious metals and the productive efforts of its citizens.

This essay will define what the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or Gross National Product (GNP) is and how the circular flow chart is dependent on an equal flow in and out of the economy. The thesis for the essay is that society should not place the highest priority upon the pursuit of economic growth; this will be supported with evidence. It will also briefly argue the opponents side on why GDP should be the highest priority.

Every year there is a ‘league table‘ published showing the level of economic growth achieved by each country. The comparison is made using each countries Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. An important factor to look at is the difference between actual and potential economic growth. Actual economic growth increases in real GDP. This increase can occur as result of using previously unemployed resources, or reallocating resources into more productive areas or improving existing resources. Whereas potential economic growth is the productive capacity of the economy. For example, it can be shown by the predicted ability of the country to produce goods and services. This changes when there is an increase in the quantity or quality of the resources. All countries have different ways of achieving this with the resources they have available to them. For this reason it party answers the question of why some countries are richer than others. It is widely thought that the productive capacity of an economy will increase each year largely due to improvements in education and technology. This will obviously differ from country to country. For example, in the UK the quality of fertilizer could be improved, hence forth increase the years fruit and vegetable output.
The economy tend to move from boom to recession, it is difficult for government to maintain and achieve macroeconomics objectives. At this time, there are “conflicts between government macroeconomic objectives”, which is this extended essay main theme.

This will let the rich people are getting more richer and poor are becoming poorer. Next, the economic develop rapidly also will increase of pollution rate. This is because the country is producing the maximum output for fulfilling the demand of the consumer. This will let the country has negative consequences for the environment and health of citizens is
