In this session, we study the basics of national income in economics. Key topics include the definition of national income, its benefits, the factors influencing it, and the components of Indonesia's national income. National income refers to the total income earned by all people in a country over a year, and understanding it helps gauge a country's economic structure, development, and policy needs. The session also covers GDP, GNP, NNP, and other crucial metrics with an example calculation to illustrate the process, helping students grasp the concept practically.

• 😀 A country rich in natural resources has the potential for higher national income due to the ability to export and generate profits.
• 😀 Large capital availability enables higher production levels, which in turn increases national income by generating more wealth.
• 😀 GDP (Gross Domestic Product) measures the total value of goods and services produced within a country, including foreign residents.
• 😀 GNP (Gross National Product) includes the value of goods and services produced by citizens, both within the country and abroad.

Q & A

What is national income?

National income is the total income earned by all people living in a country within a certain period, usually one year. It reflects the economic wealth of a country, where higher national income indicates a stronger economy.

Why is calculating national income important?

Calculating national income is essential for understanding the structure of a country's economy, comparing economies between countries, tracking economic development over time, and providing data for governmental policy-making.

What are the main benefits of calculating national income?

The main benefits include understanding the economy's structure, making international comparisons, tracking economic growth or decline, and aiding government policy formulation for economic development.

What factors influence national income?

Factors influencing national income include the quality of human resources (skilled workers earn more), natural resources (countries with abundant resources can produce and export more), and capital availability (countries with large capital can produce more goods and services).

How do skilled workers impact national income?

Skilled workers typically earn higher wages due to their expertise, which in turn raises the overall national income. Countries with a higher proportion of skilled workers, often from higher education, tend to have higher national incomes.

How do natural resources impact national income?

Natural resources contribute to national income by enabling countries to produce more goods and services for export, which generates profit. For example, Thailand’s fruit exports have contributed significantly to its national income due to the quality of its products.

What is GDP and how is it calculated?

GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is the total value of goods and services produced within a country by both its own citizens and foreign citizens. It’s calculated by summing up the total value of all goods and services produced in a country during a specific time period, usually one year.

What is the difference between GDP and GNP?

GDP measures the total output produced within a country by both domestic and foreign citizens, whereas GNP (Gross National Product) includes the total output produced by the citizens of a country, regardless of where they live. GNP is calculated by subtracting the net income from abroad (foreign income earned by nationals minus income earned by foreigners in the country) from GDP.

What is NNP and how is it calculated?

NNP (Net National Product) is the total national income after deducting depreciation (the wear and tear of capital). It is calculated by subtracting depreciation from GNP. The formula is: NNP = GNP - Depreciation.

How is NNI calculated and what does it represent?

NNI (Net National Income) is the total national income after subtracting indirect taxes from NNP. The formula is: NNI = NNP - Indirect Taxes. NNI represents the actual income available for individuals and businesses after all indirect taxes have been deducted.
