Operating Surplus (Income from Property) Class No.9: Unit 1 (National Income and related aggregates) Objective: After the class/ content you will become familiar with the components of operating surplus (income from property) Operating surplus: It is an income generated from property (rent + interest) and income from entrepreneurship (profit). Royalty is included in rent. Alternatively, it is the sum of rent, interest and profit. We can also define ‘It is Net value added at FC (i.e. domestic income) minus Compensation of employees (traditionally called wages) and mixed income of self-employed.’ Factor income (NDPFc) Mixed income of self Compensation of employees Operating surplus employed Income from property Income from entrepreneurship Rent Royalty interest Profit dividend profit tax Undistributed profit (Note: Interest on National Debt is not the part of Interest from property and thus it is ignored) Components of operating surplus: (1) Income from Property: It is an income generated from the property in form of rent, interest and royalty. (i) Rent: It is any periodic payment to an owner or factor of production in excess of the costs needed to bring that factor into production. It also refers as ‘Economic surplus’ as it is received by landlord without any effort. (ii) Royalty: A royalty is a legally-binding payment made to an individual, for using his or her originally- created assets, including copyrighted works, franchises, and natural resources. For example, use of mineral deposit such as coal, oil etc. Royalty is also associated with musicians, who receive such payments whenever their originally-recorded songs are played on the radio or television, used in movies, performed at concerts, bars, and restaurants, or consumed via streaming services. (iii) Interest: It is an amount earned for lending funds to the production units. It also includes imputed interest of funds provided by the entrepreneur. (Note: Interest income includes only interest on loans taken for productive services only) The following categories of interest should not be included: (a) Interest on national debt (or interest paid by government on national debt): It is assumed that such interest is paid on loan taken for consumption purpose. (b) Interest paid by one firm to another firm as it is already included in the profit of the firm which pays it. ***** .

  • Modeling the Economic Surplus in a SAM
    Modeling the Economic Surplus in a SAM Framework Erik K. Olsen Dept. of Economics Univ. of Missouri Kansas City 5100 Rockhill Rd. Kansas City, MO 64110 [email protected] June 21, 2011 1 Introduction The concept of an economic surplus is something that Marxian and Sra¢ an economics share in common. Both theories recognize the importance of an eco- nomic surplus that is produced and subsequently utilized for various purposes, but they each de…ne this surplus in very di¤erent ways. The surplus of Sra¢ an theory is the net product of the economy as de…ned in conventional national accounts. The surplus in Marxian theory is de…ned through its class theory. Draft prepared for 2011 Association for Heterodox Economics conference, Nottingham Trent University. 1 From the Marxist perspective the surplus created by production provides the resources that support the array of nonproduction activities associated with the capitalist enterprise as well as for many activities and individuals that may be quite distant. Shareholders of a corporation, for example, receive an in- come derived from the surplus created in production, but this is simply one of many potential uses. Identifying the connection between the surplus created in production and the subsequent recipients is the task of Marxian class theory, and this provides a means to understand how the surplus created in production plays a role in the reproduction of the economic system itself. This emphasis on a complex class structure that is part of the fabric of the economy is what distinguishes Marxian class theory from the Sra¢ an one, and it is also what distinguishes their two di¤erent theories of surplus.

Erwin Diewert Anne Harrison EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background 1. The topic of capital services has been discussed in various Canberra II Group meetings, including those of October 2003, April 2004, September 2004 and April 2005. It has also been discussed in meetings in Eurostat, at the OECD national accounts meeting and at the AEG meeting in December 2004. At its latest meeting in April 2005, the Canberra II Group supported the recommendations in the paper by Schreyer, Diewert and Harrison (2005) with some minor modifications. 2. The main messages to emerge from all of the meetings listed above is clear; few countries at present have a sufficiently detailed capital stock database to present robust capital service figures and even of those which do, not all are yet ready to publish these data as part of the main national accounts.

As a consequence, the new national accounts data give a better picture of a number of recent developments, like the expanding importance of services, automation, information and knowledge. In addition, new statistical insights and results have been incorporated. The revision has implications for the macro-economic description and for a number of policy indicators. For the year 1995, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has been adjusted upwards by 26.4 billion guilders, an increase of 4.1%. The upward adjustment is largely caused by the implementation of the new international guidelines. The net national income (NNI) has increased less (1.1%), since a large part of the changes concerns an upward adjustment of consumption of fixed capital.

  • Surplus-Value and Aggregate Concentration in the Uk Economy, 1987-2009

But, a large part of it was grouped into two categories, Applied Economics and Policy and Political Economy . This paper is part of the new series, Discussion Papers in Economics .

It examines the relationship between surplus-value and the degree of monopoly power in the UK economy using quarterly data and a proxy for aggregate concentration — the ratio of market capitalisation in FTSE100 firms to market capitalisation in FTSE All Share firms. Two other forces are considered: (i) the size of the “reserve army” of the unemployed; (ii) working class militancy. Our results suggest that increases in the “reserve army” influence the surplus-value rate positively, and that working class militancy is negatively related to changes in the surplus-value rate, indicating that strike action in this period is largely a defensive measure by workers.

  • Gross Domestic Product by State Estimation Methodology
    Gross Domestic Product by State Estimation Methodology U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Penny Pritzker, Secretary BUREAU OF ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Brian C. Moyer, Director Sarahelen Thompson, Deputy Director 2017 www.bea.gov Acknowledgments U.S. Department of Commerce Penny Pritzker, Secretary Bureau of Economic Analysis Brian C. Moyer, Director Sarahelen Thompson, Deputy Director Joel D. Platt, Associate Director for Regional Economic Accounts, provided overall guidance for the preparation of this document. Ian Mead, Chief of the Regional Product Division, directed the preparation of this document. i Executive Summary HIS volume presents the conceptual framework, the data sources, and the statistical methodologies used T by the Regional Product Division of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) to estimate gross domestic product (GDP) by industry for all U.S. states for 1963–2016. GDP by state is the state equivalent of GDP for the nation. In theory, the measurement of GDP for the nation is equal to gross domestic income (GDI). However, because GDP and GDI are measured using different source data, they usually are not equal. The difference between GDP and GDI is displayed in the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPAs) as the statistical discrepancy. GDP is measured as the expenditures of households on goods and services plus business investment, government expen­ ditures, and net exports. GDI is measured as the factor incomes earned (labor and capital income) and other costs incurred in production. GDP by state is measured as the factor incomes incurred in production, as is GDI. Although GDP by state is measured like GDI, the factor incomes are reconciled with GDP as the final step in the estimation process.

  • BUSINESS ACCOUNTS Chapter 7
    Chapter 7 BUSINESS ACCOUNTS 1. The relationship between the firm (enterprise) and the corporation 2. The structure of corporate-sector accounts 3. From corporations to firms 7 BUSINESS ACCOUNTS CHAPTER 7 Business Accounts OECD economists are particularly interested in the institutional framework in which enterprises (firms) operate, in order to identify how to improve firms’ performance and generate an increase in employment, among other benefits. In recent OECD reports on France, for example, the authors have suggested a certain number of structural reforms intended to improve the performance of French firms. For example: ● ease the employment regulations that hinder layoffs and discriminate against small innovative units that need to be able to adjust their scale and the composition of their workforce; ● further deregulate the markets for goods and services, which remain highly regulated in France and hamper competition. The OECD economists cite the example of retail distribution, where the legislation was initially designed to prevent the large firms from wiping out the small ones, but it has on the contrary discouraged new entrants and handed over domination to a few large firms; ● improve the efficiency of the public sector, in other words general government and firms controlled by general government, which remains very large in France and partly explains the high rate of corporate tax compared with other OECD countries, acting as a brake on direct investment by foreign firms in France; and ● complete the establishment of a competitive market for network industries. Under pressure from Europe, France has liberalised its transport and telecommunications networks, but has not yet fully done so for energy.

In fact, any macroeconomist carries in his head a simplified model of the economy in which everything made by someone is used by someone else, anything exported by someone is imported by someone else, anything saved by someone is invested by someone else, and so on. However, basic statistics are not presented in a “rigorous accounting framework”. They never precisely tie in together. For example, for a given product, the figures for total output are not going to correspond to the figures for total use. The reason for this is simply that output statistics are compiled differently from those of use: the statistical questionnaires are not addressed to the same people; the classifications are different; statisticians apply different methods; and so on. Some people have even ironically formulated a “theorem” that states if two statisticians are given the same set of data, the aggregate results they provide will necessarily be different! For these reasons, macroeconomists appreciate that national accounts constitute one of the rare cases in which statisticians provide tables that are (almost) completely consistent.

  • Tendency of the Rate of Profit to Fall
    Tendency of the rate of profit to fall en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tendency_of_the_rate_of_profit_to_fall The tendency of the rate of profit to fall (TRPF) is a hypothesis in economics and political economy, most famously expounded by Karl Marx in chapter 13 of Capital, Volume III.[1] Although not accepted in 20th century mainstream economics, the existence of such a tendency was widely noted throughout the 19th century.[2] Economists as diverse as Adam Smith,[3] John Stuart Mill,[4] David Ricardo[5] and Stanley Jevons[6] referred explicitly to the TRPF as an empirical phenomenon that needed to be explained. They differed in the reasons they gave for why the TRPF might necessarily occur.[7] In his 1857 Grundrisse manuscript, Karl Marx called the tendency of the rate of profit to fall "the most important law of political economy" and sought to give a causal explanation for it, in terms of his theory of capital accumulation.[8] The tendency is already foreshadowed in chapter 25 of Capital, Volume I (on the "general law of capital accumulation"), but in Part 3 of the draft manuscript of Marx's Capital, Volume III, edited posthumously for publication by Friedrich Engels, an extensive analysis is provided of the tendency. [9] Marx regarded the TRPF as proof that capitalist production could not be an everlasting form of production, since, in the end, the profit principle itself would suffer a breakdown.[10] However, because Marx never published any finished manuscript on the TRPF himself, because the tendency is hard to prove or disprove theoretically, and because it is hard to test and measure the rate of profit, Marx's TRPF theory has been a topic of controversy for more than a century.

GDP is a measure of distributed between the two factors of production. The level of production is production, namely, labour and capital, important because it largely determines how which receive respectively the salaries and much a country can afford to consume and it the operating surplus/mixed income of self also affects the level of employment. The employed. Thus the income approach GDP consumption of goods and services, both is the sum of compensation of employees, individually and collectively, is one of the gross operating surplus and gross mixed most important factors influencing the income plus taxes net of subsidies on welfare of a community. The concept of production. In the National Accounts GDP in the 1993 SNA framework has been Statistics of India, the production approach briefly discussed in the following paragraphs. GDP is considered firmer estimate; and the NAS presents the discrepancy with the expenditure approach GDP explicitly. 8.2 It should be noted, however, that GDP is not intended to measure the production taking Production approach GDP place within the geographical boundary of 8.3 GDP is a concept of value added. It is the the economic territory. Some of the sum of gross value added of all resident production of a resident producer may take producer units (institutional sectors, or place abroad, while some of the production industries) plus that part (possibly the total) taking place within the geographical of taxes, less subsidies, on products which is boundary of the economy may be carried out not included in the valuation of output.

The rates of return to be presented in the article, International comparisons of company profitability (UK Economic Trends, 15 October 2002) are ratios of the operating surpluses of non-financial companies compared with capital employed, expressed as percentages. Tables 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 provide data on international comparisons of all companies, manufacturing and services companies. Data for 2000 an 2001 will be released on 15 October. The rate of return can be calculated in many ways1, but this is considered the most important measure of profitability because it expresses the return on invested capital. The net rate of return uses capital estimates which are net of capital consumption and is more widely used than the gross rate of return. The sources of data are national accounts in most countries. In a few countries, financial indicators of business activity have been used which draw on data from balance sheets and the profit and loss accounts of surveys of enterprises.
