There is an editorial error at:

"Gross Private Domestic Investment includes expenditures on goods that are expected to be used for an extended period of time, I in the definition"

Perhaps something else was intended at the capital eye.

The tables were prepared with OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 and the article was prepared with NoteTabPro 4.95 on a laptop running Windows XP.

Nice. Typos and malformed HTML entities were cleaned up in Bluefish on a Gentoo iBook. ;) --Nikai 13:00, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How to link from Wiki to a NIPA definition & CEA or NIPA table

An illustration of the above is at Distribution (economics)‎, reproduced below:

One use of national accounts is for classifying factor incomes and measuring them (+ button to enlarge).

(Note the enlarge instruction. The table is way too small otherwise.) This is generated by:

:One use of national accounts is for classifying [http://www.bea.gov/glossary/glossary.cfm?letter=Factor_income factor incomes] and measuring [http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/publications/ERP/page/3244/1825/download/3244.pdf them] ('''+''' button to enlarge).

Any BEA Glossary term can be highlighted in gray for the Wiki link in the same way as above, that is:

On the Glossary page where the term appears, copy the URL for that page, append to it
#[Term_of_Interest][space][term]] (like #Factor_income factor incomes]). Then make that your Wiki link.

Link on. -- Thomasmeeks 17:48, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Relevant link above for factor incomes updated. --Thomasmeeks (talk) 16:30, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] proposed merge from National account

Strongly disagree, National account refers to the general concept while National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) is a specific application in a certain country.

I found this distinction useful. --Pat —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.128.2.68 (talk) 16:01, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More on this: What is this article about?

As far as I know, National Production and Income Accounts is the term that the United States government uses for the National Accounts that it compiles on economic activity in the United States. I'm not aware that any other country uses the term. The article does not make this clear at all. I'm going to try to find out a bit more about this, and probably change this article if it turns out I'm right. If anyone knows I'm wrong, please speak up now.
