It is equal to the gross domestic product (the total value of goods and services produced on the territory of a given country during a given year), minus fixed capital used in production processes (e.g. replacement of obsolete machines or maintenance of roads) plus the net foreign income earned by residents in the rest of the world.// National income has many limitations. However it is the only income concept that has an internationally agreed definition (established by the United Nations System of National Accounts, see SNA 2008). So we use it as our reference concept (with tax havens correction). To be improved.The national economy - in the national accounts sense - includes all domestic sectors, i.e. all entities that are resident of a given country (in the sense of their economic activity), whether they belong to the private sector, the corporate sector, the governement sector. | [National income]=[Net domestic product]+[Net foreign income] | From 1950 to 1978, we computed net foreign income based on its share in GDP in 1979. | WID.world computations using: IMF Balance of Payments Statistics; United Nations National Accounts Main Aggregates Database; Maddison, Angus (2007).

In other words, the amounts required to maintain the quality of fixed assets from a year to another. The decline in value is a result of physical deterioration, normal obsolescence or normal accidental damage.The national economy - in the national accounts sense - includes all domestic sectors, i.e. all entities that are resident of a given country (in the sense of their economic activity), whether they belong to the private sector, the corporate sector, the governement sector. | From 1950 to 2017, we impute the value of CFC (see methodological note for details). | WID.world computations | |

Until 1970, we use the GDP growth rates from Maddison (2007). Between 1971 and 2015, we use the GDP growth rates from the UN SNA main tables.
