About National Income Accounting & GDP

This quiz opens with the basic national income aggregates, GDP, GNP, NDP, and NNP, along with personal income, disposable income, nominal versus real GDP, and the GDP deflator, that actually let economists measure an economy's own output.

It then covers the three methods used to actually measure national income, the value added method, the income method, and the expenditure method, along with Gross Value Added and the relationships between factor cost, basic prices, and market prices.

A considerable part of this quiz is devoted to how India itself actually compiles these figures, the National Statistical Office, the country's base-year revisions, and the pioneering work of Dadabhai Naoroji, V.K.R.V. Rao, and the 1949 National Income Committee under P.C. Mahalanobis.

It closes with India's own sectoral composition of GDP, its savings and investment rates, the Incremental Capital Output Ratio, and India's own current standing among the world's major economies, alongside the genuine limitations of GDP itself as a measure of real human welfare.
