Value of new technology
In the calculation of national income, the value of old goods sold is not included. National income accounting typically focuses on the value of goods and services produced within a specific period, usually a year. It includes the production of new goods and the provision of services. However, the resale of old goods does not contribute to the current production of goods and services and therefore is not counted. Additionally, non-market services such as the services of a housewife, which are not paid for in the market, are also not included in the national income calculations. This exclusion is due to the difficulty in accurately measuring the economic value of such non-market services.
