National Income Accounting
- set of principles and methods used to
measure the income and production of a
country.
- a bookkeeping system that a government
uses to measure the level of the country’s
economic activity in a given period of time.
- measures the economy’s overall performance
- Include data regarding:
➢ total revenues earned by domestic
corporations
➢ wages paid to foreign and domestic workers
➢ amount spent on sales and income taxes by
corporations and individuals residing in the
country.
This accounting enables economists,
policy makers, and statisticians to:
• Assess the health of an economy, the level of economic activity,
and the forecasted growth and development during a particular
time period.
• Track the long-run course of the economy to see whether it has
grown, been constant, or declined.
• Using national income accounting gives us a look at how the
economy is performing and where money is being earned and
spent.
• Formulate policies that will safeguard and improve the
economy's health.
