Capital Formation and its Sources

Ryōshin Minami

Abstract

Economic activity has two sides — production of commodities and expenditure. In national income accounting, Gross National Product (GNP) represents the former and Gross National Expenditure (GNE) the latter. Chapters 4 and 5 analyzed production activity in agriculture and ‘industry’, the determinants of GNP. This and the next chapter analyze expenditure. This chapter deals with capital formation (investment).
