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://bea.gov/bea/glossary/glossary.cfm?key_word=Factor_Income&letter=F#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)

[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.
