Abstract

We propose to examine here the NSS estimate of consumption expenditure as a measure of the aggregate private consumption expenditure. Private consumption expenditure, today, is of the order of 80 per cent of the net national product (NNP) at market prices. The estimate of NNP in India does not depend on survey consumption data, and is based largely on information on output. A substantial part of the aggregate NNP in a particular year is based on projections and surmises and does not depend on direct information pertaining to the year. Consequently, corroboration of a sizable part of it by a completely independent survey estimate will be welcome provided we are satisfied about its validity and accuracy.

Abstract

There is a close relation between the concepts used in inter-industry accounting and in national income accounting. Generally, in inter-industiy analysis, the main emphasis is on the two way part of the table which is usually given with detailed sectoral breakdowns. The main emphasis in national income accounting is with the values added in the various sectors, their intermediate distribution by factor shares, etc. and their final uses in consumption and capital fonnation. All these occur in the case of inter-industry analysis in the margins of the two way table.
