Indian Economy Overview

Types of National Income:

Total value of all final goods and services produced with in country with in specific time period mostly one year is called National Income.

Measurement of National Income:-

  • GDP
  • GNP
  • NNP
  • NNPFc
  • PI
  • DP

GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT:-

Here income produced by resident citizens as well as foreign citizens who lives with in the boundary of country.

GDP = Q (Total quantity of G&S) x P (total price of G&S) 

GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT:-

Here income of all residents and nonresident citizens of country included but excluded income of foreigners who reside in the country.

GNP=GDP+(X(export)-M(import))

(X-M) is called Net factor abroad.

GNP = GDP+NFA

NET NATIONAL PRODUCT (NNP) :-

NNP = GNP – DEPRECIATION.

Depreciation means wear and tear of goods produced, depreciation reduced because of part of current product goes to replace the depreciated parts of goods already produced.

NNP (FACTORY COST):-

NNPfc = NNPmp-indirect taxes+ subsidy

Similarly

GDPfc = GDPmp-indirect taxes+subsidy.

Personal income:-

It is the sum of all income received by the entire people of the country in one year.

Personal income = National income + net transfer payments.

Disposable Income:-

Income available for a individual to spent on their own will.

Disposable Income = personal Income – Direct taxes.

National income at constant price and Current price:-

To compare the national income of various years it will be compared against one particular base year the price in this year is called constant price.

National Income at Constant Price = Total Quantity of Goods and Services Produced in a Particular Year multiplied by (The Price of Base Year).

National Income at Current Price = Total Quantity of Goods and Services Produced in a Particular Year  multiplied by (Price of The Current Year).

GDP Deflator:-

It is the measure of level of prices of all domestically produced final goods and services, this is calculated to find overall rise in the level of price

GDP Deflator = Nominal GDP/Real GDP * 100

National Income Growth =

(National Income This Year – National Income Previous year)/National income                                  Previous Year * 100

  • National income at constant price shows negative growth.
  • National income at current price shows positive growth.

Methods Of Measuring National Income:-

Players who participate to contribute to National income:-

  1. Individuals
  2. Households
  3. Business firms
  4. Foreign nationals.

The wage , rent ,interest  are expenditure to business firms but income to households one’s expenditure is income to other and vice versa, so national income is calculated by compiling all expenditures of households this is called Income Method.

National income can be calculated by total values of goods and services produced this is called product method.

National income can be calculated by compiling all the expenditure incurred by people this is called expenditure method.

Product Method:-

Gross Value Added = Output of Final Goods and Services – Intermediate Consumption.

GDP = Gross Value Added + Indirect Taxes – Subsidy.

Income Method:-

GDP = Compensation of Employees + Consumption of Fixed Capital + (other taxes of production – subsidies of production) + Gross operating surplus

Consumption method or Expenditure Method:-

GDP = C (Expenditure of Consumers) + I (Expenditure of Investors) + G (expenditure of government)

Suitability Method:-

It says Product method is applicable for primary and secondary sectors and Income method for ternary sector.

Incremental capital output ratio (ICOR):-

It means additional capital required to produce one additional good.

ICOR = Incremental Capital/Incremental Output (Growth Rate).

IIP (Index of Industrial Production):-

It is measures growth of production in Mining, manufacturing and electricity industries; it will be released monthly by CSO

PMI (Purchasing Managers Index):-

Predicts the level of industrial production in advance.

Human Development (HDI):-

Human development is measured by three indices’ Health, Education, Standard of living, these three averages is considered as HDI (master index).

  • The human development index was developed by Mahubub-ul-Huq along with Amartya Sen it is used by UNDP (United Nations Development Program).
  • Every UNDP brings a Annual report call HDR(Human Development Report) , since year 1990,
  • The method developed by them was followed till 2009 but from 2010 three new Indies’s added to HDI those are Gender Inequality index, Multi – dimensional Poverty index and inequality adjusted HDI.

Dimensions, Indicators and Goal Posts for Calculating HDI:-

HDI is measured in three Indies’s Health, Education, Standard of living

Indicators For these Indies’s:-

Human Development Index calculation method

Calculation of HDI:-

Calculation method also underwent some changes in old Method and New method.

  • Life Expectancy =  it’s is same for both old and new methods.
  • Education — in old method Adult literacy rate assigned to 2/3 weight and enrollment ratio assigned to 1/3 weight where both combined will add to 1. But in new method both the indices’ , Expected years pf schooling and average years of schooling are given same weight and their geometric mean is added to one, value will be in between 0 to 1.

 Dimension Index = (Actual Value – Minimum Value) / (Max Value – Min Value).

  • Income—- in old method it is calculated in log to the base 10 values the reason why it is used because beyond a certain range income does not enhance the human capability, so here Law of Diminishing Capability of Income ensured
  • In new Method natural logarithm log to the base e used ( e=2.731) , there is no reason for using this but most of the income calculations use this log values. (Indian Economy)
  • HDI is calculated as Arithmetic mean of index’s in old Method Now in New method it’s a Geometric Mean.

New Indices’:-

Multi Dimensional Poverty Index:-

It measures deprivation of people in health education and standard of living.

Multi Dimensional Poverty Index

Inequality adjusted HDI (IHDI) :-

IHDI adjust the HDI for inequality in the distribution of dimensions – life expectancy, years of schooling and house hold income.

Gender Inequality Index (GII):-

It measures the inequality exists between men and women across the three indices.

Poverty and Unemployment:-

Poverty:-

  Poverty is a phenomenon in which certain sections of people unable to fulfill their basic necessities of life. There are two types of poverty.

  • Absolute Poverty
  • Relative Poverty
  1. Absolute Poverty:-

   In this poverty, minimum physical quantities like cereals, pulses, milk, butter etc are determined for subsistence level of living and their price quotations are obtained from market to convert these commodity requirements to money values.

By aggregating all the quantities included with money values a figure expressing per capita expenditure is determined .The population whose level of income below this per capita income is known as Below Poverty Line (BPL). This measure is also called Head count ratio. (Indian Economy)

Note:-

The reason why poverty is calculated based on consumer expenditure not on income because, senior citizens and children’s they will not earn but people can also consume more than their standard by borrowing also.

  1. Relative Poverty:-

In this case income/consumption distribution of population in different percentile groups estimated and a comparison of standard of living to top 5 to 10% people with bottom 5 to 10% people gives the relative standards of poverty, it is helpful to determine the inequalities in the society.

Quintile Income ratio = Average income of richest 20 %/Average income of poorest 20%

Estimation of Poverty in India:-

Dr. V M Dandekar and Nilkanth Rath, after independence poverty estimation is carried out by these two people in India.

  • They fixed the minimum level of per capita  nutrition for standard living is 2,250 calories and for rural the per capita income is 170 rs and for urban its 270 rupees as per 1960-61 prices
  • Using these standards they stated that 177 million people were poor in 1960-61 and about 216 million were poor in 1968-69.

Planning commission expert Group report:-

  • The planning commission appointed a expert group called Task force on minimum needs and effective consumption demand in 1989 as Dr. Lakdawal as chairman.
  • Its submitted first report in 1993 it states per capita daily intake 2400 for Rural and 2100 for urban, precipitate is more for rural because of hard physical laborer they undergo.
  • Different poverty lines are fixed in different states based on price variations and consumption of commodities across states.
  • CPI-AL (Cost Price Index for Agricultural Laborer) is used for future update of rural poverty, similarly CPI-IW(CPI-Industrial Worker) and CPI-UNME (Urban non manual employee) for future urban poverty line.

Indian Economy

61st Round of National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) Survey and Poverty Examination:-

This round of survey is carried out during 2004-2005 , its is consumer expenditure survey , people are asked to remember and tell their 30 days expenditure and 365 days expenditure , from this data they have fixed the percapita as 365.30 rs and 538 rs for rural and urban respectively. (Indian Economy)

NSSO’s Mixed Recall Period (MRP):-

It involves estimation of poverty using consumer expenditure of 365 days recall period for 5 infrequently purchased non-food items like Clothes, Foot Wear, durable goods, Education and institutional Medical expenses.

Planning commissions Uniform Recall Period (URP):-

It involves estimation of poverty using consumer expenditure data of 30 days recall period for all items.

poverty ratios by mrp and urp

Tendulkar Committee on Poverty:-

  • A committee named “Expert Group to Review Methodology For Estimation of Poverty” headed by D. Tendulkar was formed by planning commission in 2009.
  • This committee adopted new method it moved calorie based poverty estimation to nutrition, health and other expenditure based estimation. It calls goods selected to estimate poverty as Poverty Line Basket(PLB).
  • It relies on NSSO’s Mixed Recall Period, it calls to adopt urban poverty line for both urban and rural and it states consumption quantity is same for both just price will vary.
  • As per this 446.68 rs rural poverty line and 578 rs urban property line. (Indian Economy)

Rangarajan Committee on Poverty:-

There was a lot of criticism for Tendulkar committee, so government appointed new committee as Rangarajan as head it used lode calorie based approach along with some other non essential food items to arrive at poverty line, as per this 972 rural per capita and 1181 for urban.

Ability of Pay Based Poverty Line:-

the author of this book argued in his article “Poverty Redefined” to fix poverty line at the level of Basic Exemption Limit(BEL) fixed for Income Tax purpose, the person whose income is below this is called BPL.

This is limit for an individual, suppose one person is earning in a family of 5 divide that by 5 and the output amount is the poverty Line.

Unemployment:-

   Unemployment is a situation where people are willing to work at prevailing rate of wage but people could not get work.

Number of Unemployed = Labor Force – Work Force

Employment and Unemployment Estimates:-

Activity Status:-

Employed: – Working or being engaged in economic activity.

Unemployed: – Being not engaged in any economic activity or making tangible efforts to seek work.

Not in Labor Force: – Being not engaged in any economic activity or not free for work.

Different Approaches to Determine Activity Status:-

Different Status is classified based on the activities pursued by them in some reference time periods. They are as follows.

  • Usual Activity Status (US) — One year time period.
  • Current Weekly Status (CWS) ==== each week period.
  • Current Daily Status (CDS) === each day.

Usual or Principal Activity Status:-

Usual Or Principal Activity Status

Current weekly Status (CWS):-

indian economy Current weekly Status (CWS)

Current Daily Status (CDS):-

  • Here if a person is working 4 or more hours during a day he is termed as “employed”
  • If a person has work for 1 hour or less than 4 hours is termed as ” employed for half day”, if anther half day he is seeking for work he is known as unemployed for the half day otherwise “not in labor force” for the half day

indian economy Current Daily Status (CDS)

Types of Unemployment:-

  1. Structural Unemployment:-

It is caused by structural changes like rapidly growing population , changes in capital investments , technology change etc, its a long run in Indian Economy.

  1. Frictional Unemployment:-

It occurs when people change from one job to other and remain unemployed in the interval period; to avoid this people will resign the job after getting employed elsewhere.

  1. Cyclic Unemployment:-

It occurs when a employee thrown out of job due to a recession in economy, this is also called demand deficiency unemployment root cause of this unemployment is lack of demand.

  1. Disguised Unemployment:-

 It is case where people are employed but their marginal product is zero, which means they are not adding productivity, this type of unemployment seen in Indian agriculture sector.

  1. Educated Unemployment:-

Even if a person is skilled and trained and failed to obtain a job as per his qualification is called educated unemployment.

  1. Open Unemployment:-

The labors live without any employment and don’t find any work to do is called open unemployment, it is seen when people migrated from rural to urban.

  1. Under Unemployment:-

It refers to under utilization of manpower in terms of both time and skill, for example when a post graduated work as a clerk or office boy it is called under unemployment.

  1. Voluntary Unemployment:-

Though the jobs are available people are not willing to work or rich enough or lazy.

  1. Natural Unemployment:-

Unemployment ranging from 2% to 3% in the country is known as natural unemployment, it can’t be eliminated at all.

Lorenz Curve:-

indian economy Lorenz Curve

Lorenz curve maps the relationship between people and income.

in the above fig line AB is the line of equality

The line AEB is Lorenz curve, point E shows 90% people earn 60% of income remaining 10% earns remaining 40% this shows inequality.

Gini Coefficient:-

It measures inequality using lorzen curve

Gini Coefficient = Area above Lorenz curve/Area below Lorenz curve

Kuznets curve:-

It’s says in developing economy inequality increases in the beginning as the Indian Economy grows inequality decreases.

Engel’s law:-

PUBLIC FINANCE

BUDGET:-
