As long as "value-add" is merged into this page and not the other way around, why not? - Diceman 18:29, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Difference with Marxian interpretation

A difference between Marxian theory and conventional national accounts concerns the interpretation of the distinction between new value created and conserved value, and of the definition of "production".
For example, Marxian theory regards the "imputed rental value of owner-occupied housing" which is included in GDP as a fictitious entry; if housing is owner-occupied, it cannot have a rental value.

Could someone elaborate on this point, please? I couldn't understand it. Especially the idea behind "imputed rental value" and it being "a fictitious entry" escapes my comprehension. EnSamulili 21:09, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I have added a paragraph on this topic to the article.

[edit] Merge?

"Value add" is more a yuppie concept, whereas value added is a concept in national accounts

Perhaps a link to Bullsh*t bingo could be added to the page?
