Gross National Product (GNP)<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Definition and Explanation of GNP:<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The concept of Gross National Product (GNP) is comprehensive. It enables us to measure and analyze as to how much is the aggregate economic production of a country in a given period. The gross national product of a country (GNP) is defined as:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;The total money value of all final goods and services produced by the residents of a country in one year period&#8221;.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the words of W.C. Peterson:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Gross National Product may be defined as the current market value of all final goods and services produced by the economy during an income period <strong>regardless of where the output is produced<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember the following aspects of GNP:<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>GNP is a flow concept:<\/strong> GNP represents a flow. It is a quantity produced per unit of time. It is the value of final goods and services produced in a country during a given time period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>GNP measures final output:<\/strong> While calculating GNP, the market value of only final goods and services produced in a year are added up. Final goods are those goods that are purchased for final use in the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">GNP is the output produced by the citizens of a country: Gross national product is the final output of goods and services produced by the citizens and businesses of a country during a given time period which is usually a year. For example, the economic activity carried out by the American citizens and businesses outside the country is counted in GNP. While the income of the residents who are not USA citizens is subtracted from GNP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Components of Expenditures in GNP:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For <strong>measuring GNP at market price<\/strong>, the economists use the <strong>Expenditure Approach<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to this approach, t<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">here are <strong>four categories of expenditures<\/strong> which are added together to measure Gross National Product (GNP) at Market Price, <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(i) Consumption, <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(ii) Investment <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(iii) Government Expenditure and <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(iv) Net exports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">These four types of expenditures are explained in brief:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>(i) Consumption Expenditure (C):<\/strong> It includes all personal expenditures incurred by the citizens of a country on durable and non-durable goods in a period of one year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>(ii) Investment<\/strong> (I): It is the total expenditure incurred by firms or households on capital goods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>(iii) Govt. expenditures (G):<\/strong> It includes all types of expenditure incurred by Federal, Provincial, Local Councils on the purchases of goods and services such as national defense, law, and order, street lighting, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>(iv) Net Exports (X &#8211; M):<\/strong> Net exports of goods and services are the value of exports minus the value of imports.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The formula for Gross Profit:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>GNP = C + I + G + (X &#8211; M)<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Where:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>C = Consumption, I = Investment, G = Government Expenditure and X &#8211; M = Net exports<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/how-to-prepare-for-sbi-po-and-sbi-clerk-from-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">How to Prepare for SBI PO and SBI Clerk from Home?<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2.

In addition to this, there may be foreign firms producing goods in the various sectors of the economy like mining, electricity, manufacturing, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If we add up the money value of all the final goods produced both by domestic and foreign-owned factors annually in the country and valued at market prices, it will be called gross domestic product (GDP). <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Gross Domestic Product is the value of aggregate or total production of goods and services in a country in one year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If we make a detailed list of all such commodities produced annually or measure the total goods produced during a year by weight or by volume, it will not give us any clear and concise impression about our total national output. So, what generally done is that the money value of all final goods and service produced during a year at current market prices is added up. This total current market value of all final goods and services produced in an economy in a year period is called gross domestic product (GDP). <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the words of Campbell:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Gross Domestic Product is defined as the total value of all final goods and services produced in a country in one year&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to Shapiro:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;GDP is defined as a flow variable, measuring the quantity of final good and services produced&#8221; during a year&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While calculating the gross domestic product (GDP), the value of only those goods are added which have reached their final stage of production and are available for consumption.

For example, undistributed profits, employee\u2019s contribution to social security corporate income taxes etc. are elements of national income but are not received by individuals.
