40 National Income

Economists use national income to measure the size of an economy, and this video explores two key metrics: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross National Income (GNI). We'll break down what each term signifies, highlighting their core differences and how to convert between them. Understand that national income represents the total value of economic activity, and can be measured by output, expenditure, or income. This video clarifies the definitions of GDP and GNI, explaining that GDP focuses on the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country's geographical borders. GNI, conversely, measures the total income earned by a country's residents and businesses, irrespective of where the income is generated. We'll use examples to illustrate how production location dictates GDP, while income recipient determines GNI. Discover the formula for converting between GDP and GNI using net income from abroad.
