40-505: It was developed for the Overseas Development Council in the mid-1970s by M.D Morris, as one of a number of measures created due to dissatisfaction with the use of GNP as an indicator of development. He thought that they would cover a wide range of indicators like health, sanitation, drinking water, nutrition, education etc. PQLI might be regarded as an improvement but shares the general problems of measuring quality of life in

80-572: A country's capital or labour resources are employed outside its borders, or when a foreign firm is operating in its territory, GDP and GNP can produce different measures of total output. In 2009 for instance, the United States estimated its GDP at $ 14.119 trillion , and its GNP at $ 14.265 trillion. The term gross national income (GNI) has gradually replaced the Gross national product (GNP) in international statistics. While being conceptually identical,

120-416: A much larger number of more specific accounts. The first summary account shows the gross domestic product (GDP) and its major components. The table summarizes national income on the left (debit, revenue) side and national product on the right (credit, expense) side of a two-column accounting report. Thus the left side gives GDP by the income method, and the right side gives GDP by the expenditure method. The GDP

160-598: A nation's system of accounts, (analogous to a firm's Chart of accounts ) are typically gradually revised and updated on their own individual schedule. The U.S. NIPAs are prepared by the staff of the Directorate for National Economic Accounts within the BEA. The source data largely originates from public sources, such as government surveys and administrative data, and they are supplemented by data from private sources, such as data from trade associations (BEA 2008: 1–6). The income side of

200-430: A quantitative way. It has also been criticized because there is a considerable overlap between infant mortality and life expectancy. The UN Human Development Index is a more widely used means of measuring well-being. Steps to Calculate Physical Quality of Life: Increase in national income and per capita income are not the real indicators of economic development, as it has a number of limitations. Increasing incomes of

240-456: A record low of USD 1.06 billion in 1992. Regarding interest rates on GNI expressed in USD, Armenia is ranked 119th out of the 155 monitored nations. *Top country subdivisions by GDP *Top country subdivisions by GDP per capita *Top country metropolitan by GDP National Income and Product Accounts The national income and product accounts ( NIPA ) are part of the national accounts of

280-450: Is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Gross national product The gross national income ( GNI ), previously known as gross national product ( GNP ), is the total amount of factor incomes earned by the residents of a country. it is equal to gross domestic product (GDP), plus factor incomes received from non-resident by residents, minus factor income paid by residents to non-resident. In contrast to GDP, GNI

320-517: Is also the less ambiguous gross national income . GNP is an economic statistic that is equal to GDP plus any income earned by residents from overseas investments minus income earned within the domestic economy by overseas residents. GNP does not distinguish between qualitative improvements in the state of the technical arts (e.g., increasing computer processing speeds), and quantitative increases in goods (e.g., number of computers produced), and considers both to be forms of " economic growth ". When

360-428: Is as a measure of a nation's economic well-being, as it does not count most unpaid work and counts much economic activity that is unproductive or actually destructive. While GDP measures the market value of all final goods and services produced in a given country, GNI measures income generated by the country's citizens, regardless of the geographic location of the income. In many states, those two figures are close, as

400-457: Is considered economic development. The level of physical quality of life determines the level of economic development. If any country's physical quality of life is higher than that of the other country, then that country is considered as more developed. There are three standards to measure the physical quality, which are depicted here: 1)- Extent of Education, 2)- Life Expectancy & 3)- Infant Mortality Rate This social science -related article

440-449: Is given on the bottom line of both sides of the report. GDP must have the same value on both sides of the account. This is because income and expenditure are defined in a way that forces them to be equal (see accounting identity ). We show the 2003 table later in this article; we present the left side first for a convenient screen display. The U.S. report (updated quarterly) is available in several forms, including interactive, from links on

480-408: Is immaterial under accounting standards. Gross national product is net national product plus an allowance for the consumption of fixed capital , mostly buildings and machines, usually called depreciation. Capital is used up in production but it does not vanish. Finally, GDP is gross national product plus payments from the rest of the world that are income to residents of the U.S. minus payments from

520-601: Is not a concept of value added, but a concept of income. GNI is the basis of calculation of the largest part of contributions to the Budget of the European Union . In February 2017, Ireland's GDP became so distorted from the base erosion and profit shifting ("BEPS") tax planning tools of U.S. multinationals, that the Central Bank of Ireland replaced Irish GDP with a new metric, Irish Modified GNI (or "GNI*"). In 2017, Irish GDP

560-401: Is the market value of all the goods and services produced in one year by labor and property supplied by the citizens of a country. Unlike gross domestic product (GDP), which defines production based on the geographical location of production, GNP indicates allocated production based on location of ownership. In fact it calculates income by the location of ownership and residence, and so its name

600-704: The OECD reports, in 2015 alone, Armenia has received a total of US$ 409 million development assistance. Over the past 25 years, USAID has provided more than one billion USD to improve the living of the people in Armenia. GNI equals GDP plus wages, salaries, and property income of the country's residents earned abroad that also constitutes the higher GNI figure. According to the UN report on migration from Armenia in 2015–17, every year around 15–20 thousand people leave Armenia permanently, and roughly 47% of those are working migrants that leave

640-453: The salaries and wages of cross-border commuter and seasonal worker working oversea but do not include remittance send by worker to their family oversea. This explain why France GNI is higher than it’s GDP as a lot of french residents work in Luxembourg , Monaco or Switzerland ; while India GNI is lower than it’s GDP despite being the larger receiver of remittance. GNI also include

680-588: The 1993 revision to the SNA, GNP definition was reframed from the point of view of the residents receiving income rather than the point of view of the factor of production. To reflect this, GNP was renamed GNI; the “national” part was keep as it is embedded in economic usage, even though the same concept of residence is use to defined both GDP and GNI. GNP continue to be uses in the National income and product accounts to referd to GNI calculated for expenditure data. GNI include

720-536: The BEA's tables are available in their pdf file only. The downloads include the two most recent annual values and the five most recent quarterly values for each item. The quarterly values are seasonally adjusted at annual rates; they do not add to a reported annual value. The income side of the report is derived from BEA NIPA Tables 1.7.5 (Relation of gross domestic product, gross national product, net national product, national income, and personal income) and 1.12 (National income by type of income). The production side of

760-451: The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) NIPA ( [1] ) page. Other countries report based on their own adopted system of National accounts which are frequently based on the U.S. NIPAs, the widely adopted United Nations System of National Accounts , or their own custom approach. The level of detail (granularity) accounted for internally, and reported publicly, varies widely across countries. Likewise,

800-732: The EU institution and excluded tariff as those are received by EU institution. GNI contrast with Gross national disposable income with included all current transfer income like international cooperation and remittance. G N I = G D P + Money flowing from foreign countries − Money flowing to foreign countries {\displaystyle \mathrm {GNI} =\mathrm {GDP} +{\text{Money flowing from foreign countries}}-{\text{Money flowing to foreign countries}}} Nominal, Atlas method – millions of current US$ (top 15) PPP – millions of international dollars (top 15) Gross national product ( GNP )

840-462: The US to the rest of the world that count as income where they are received. Macroeconomics defines GDP, from the production perspective, as the sum of personal consumption, investment, net exports , and government expenditures; GDP = C + I + (X − M) + G . The production side report also begins with individuals and families, in this case, their personal consumption expenditures on goods and services, C in

880-410: The US which switched in 1991. GNP was defined in the 1953 SNA as : “the market value of product before deduction of provisions of consumption of fixed capital, attributable to factors of production supplied by normal residents of the given country” Despite framing GNP as concept of production, the attribution of the value was define by the income earned by owner of the factor of production. In

920-581: The United States. They are produced by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the Department of Commerce. They are one of the main sources of data on general economic activity in the United States. They use double-entry accounting to report the monetary value and sources of output produced in the country and the distribution of incomes that production generates. Data are available at the national and industry levels. Seven summary accounts are published, as well as

960-410: The balance between goods produced domestically but consumed abroad (X) and goods produced abroad but consumed domestically (M). There is no distinction between consumption and investment or between the private and public sectors; a consumer's imported television, a corporation's imported lab equipment, and the government's use of imported food on military bases count equally. When net exports are positive,

1000-464: The country are concentrated in the hands of a few people, which is not development. The development of a country should be such that the living standards of the poor rises, and the basic requirements of the citizens are fulfilled. Keeping this in mind, Morris Davis Morris presented the physical quality of life index, in short known as the PQLI. In this index, betterment of physical quality of life of human beings

1040-560: The country has a trade surplus. When Net Exports are negative, there is a trade deficit. Government Consumption Expenditures and Gross Investment includes all government expenditures on domestically produced goods and services. Like an individual or family, the government consumes food, clothing, furniture, and other goods and services in its administrative, military, correctional, and other programs. Governments also invest in buildings for program use and in improvements to harbors, rivers, roads, and airports. Transfer payments , like subsidies to

1080-494: The country to earn income and sustain the families left in Armenia. In 2016 Armenian residents received in a total of around $ 150 million remittances. Armenia's GNI, measured in US dollars, amounted to USD 13.5 billion in 2021, according to the National Statistical Office. This is an 8.23% increase over the prior year. GNI in USD terms in Armenia has historically ranged from a record high of USD 13.8 billion in 2019 to

1120-494: The data used to prepare a table includes rounding at prior stages of analysis, as appears to have happened in this case. The BEA's table and line numbers were removed for clarity and the sums were recalculated. Copies of the downloaded BEA NIPA tables used to construct the example, including table and line numbers, are in a pdf file. The BEA offers the NIPA tables interactively and as txt, zipped wk1, exe, csv, and pdf files. Footnotes to

1160-520: The definition. Durable goods are expected to last more than a year (furniture, appliances, cars, etc.) and to have little or no secondary resale market. Nondurable goods are used up within a year (food, clothing, medicine ...). Services include everything else, everything we buy that has little or no physical presence, like banking, health care, insurance, movie tickets, and so on. Gross private domestic investment includes expenditures on goods that are expected to be used for an extended period of time, I in

1200-412: The definition. Residential investment includes owner-occupied and rental housing. Nonresidential investment includes buildings, machinery, and equipment used for commercial or industrial purposes (small business, agriculture, manufacturing, service, etc.). The last element of Investment accounts for any change in the value of previous investments that are still in use, called inventory. Net Exports reports

1240-508: The difference between income received by the country versus payments made to the rest of the world is not significant. According to the World Bank , the GNI of the US in 2016 was 1.5% higher than GDP. In developing countries, on the other hand, the difference might be significant due to a large amount of foreign aid and capital inflow. In 2016, the GNI of Armenia was 4.45% higher than GDP.

Corporate profit is shown before taxes, which are part of taxes on production and imports, two lines down. Business current transfer payments are not explained here. Net interest and miscellaneous payments are interest paid minus interest received plus payments to individuals and corporations that are not elsewhere classified (NEC). Taxes on production and imports does not include corporate income tax payments to

1320-582: The national income and product account report begins with the kinds of income people might have. Employee compensation includes the wages and salaries paid to anyone whose income is subject to income tax withholding. Since wages and salaries affect more individuals and families directly than the other sources of income, it has by far the largest value. Proprietors' income is the payments to those who own non-corporate businesses, including sole proprietors and partners. inventory value adjustment (IVA) and capital consumption adjustment (CCA) are corrections for changes in

1360-585: The precise calculation method has evolved at the same time as the name change. The United States used GNP as its primary measure of total economic activity until 1991, when it began to use GDP. In making the switch, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) noted both that GDP provided an easier comparison of other measures of economic activity in the United States and that "virtually all other countries have already adopted GDP as their primary measure of production". Many economists have questioned how meaningful GNP or GDP

1400-583: The propriety income: rent, interest and “profit”. The “profit” included both distributed income of corporation (dividends) and reinvested earning on foreign direct investment , those are profit retained by the corporation. Like in the IMF balance of payments manual they are treated as if they were distributed to foreign direct investors in proportion to their ownership of the equity of the enterprise and then reinvested by them by means of additions in equity. The GNI of EU countries also included subsided received from

1440-400: The states and to the federal government. Taxes on production and imports were previously classified as "indirect business taxes" and included excise taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, and other taxes relating to business production. While the report includes the net value of interest payments and receipts, both the taxes paid and subsidies from the government are shown. National income (NI) is

1480-488: The sum of employees, proprietors, rental, corporate, interest, and government income less the subsidies government pays to any of those groups. Net national product (NNP) is National Income plus or minus the statistical discrepancy that accumulates when aggregating data from millions of individual reports. In this case, the statistical discrepancy is US$ 25.6 billion, or about 0.23% of the gross domestic product. A discrepancy that small (less than three-tenths of one percent)

1520-410: The unemployed or the retired, are not included in this item since they are simply a movement of money from the government to citizens, rather than a purchase of goods or services. The sum of the four production categories is a gross domestic product, the value of all domestic expenditures on goods and services. GDP (income) must equal GDP (production) except for any rounding error that accumulates when

1560-448: The value of the proprietor's inventory (goods that may be sold within one year) and capital (goods like machines and buildings that are not expected to be sold within one year) under rules set by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Rental income of persons excludes rent paid to corporate real estate companies. Real estate is capital rather than an inventory by definition, so there is no IVA. Corporate profits with IVA and CCA are like

The modern concept of GNP, along with GDP, was first developed by Simon Kuznets for a 1934 U.S. Congress report. Countries like the US and the UK originally preferred GNP as a mesure of economic activity while other like Norway preferred GDP. Overtime communication harmonize around GDP included in
