Economic indicators of development

Several indicators measure the economic factors that contribute to a society's level of development. These measure include-

1. Gross Domestic Production (GDP)

2. Gross Value Addition (GVA)

3. Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)

4. Gross National Product (GNP)

5. Index of Industrial Production (IIP)

6. Wholesale Price Index (WPI)

7. Producer Price Index (PPI)

8. Consumer Price Index (CPI)

1.Gross Domestic Production (GDP): GDP is a monetary measure of the market value of all the final goods & services produced in a economic year in a country.

GDP = Consumption + Government Expenditure + Investment + (Export – Import)

2.Gross Value Addition (GVA): GVA is the measure of the value of goods & services produced in an area, industry or sector of an economy.

GVA = GDP + Subsidies – (direct, sale) taxes

3.Purchasing Power Parity (PPP): PPP is an economic theory that compare different countries currencies through a basket of good approach.

4.Gross National Product (GNP): GNP is the total value of goods produced & services provided by a country during one year, equal to the gross domestic product plus the net income from foreign investment.

5.Index of Industrial Index (IIP): IIP is an index for India which details out the growth of various sectors in an economy such as mineral mining, electricity & manufacturing.

6.Wholesale Price Index (WPI): WPI is the price of a representative basket of wholesale goods.

7.Producer Price Index (CPI): PPI is a price index that measures the average changes in prices received by domestic producers for their output.

8.Consumer Price Index (CPI): CPI is a price index that measures the changes in the price level of market basket of consumer goods & services purchased by households.

Behaviouralism in geography

Behaviouralism Behaviouralism is an approach in human geography that came to prominence in the human geography of the 1960s and 1970s. It goes out of the idea that people are the determining factor in the explanation of space. Behaviouralism tries to give an explanation of the spatiallity of human activities. And thereby they use a complex universally applicable model. Definition of Behaviouralism: The particular aspect with which geographical content is analyzed using mathematical statistics & human sensitivity, is called behavioralism. Concept of Behaviouralism: The Behaviouralism revolution is a theoretical concept. Its theories are not based on assumptions, but are actually explored through ascending methods based on the experience of human behavior. An analysis of the significance of geographical issues in behavioral perspectives within a system, so therefore is no definite boundary to behavioral geography. The main purpose of behaviouralism geography is to in...

Concentric zone theory

Theories of City Structure-Concentric Zone Theory Introduction: The Concentric or Zonal Theory of urban landuse was first proposed in 1923 by E.W. Burgess. He was a sociologist. The idea behind the concentric model is that the development of a city takes place outwards from its central area in a series of concentric circles to form zones. Assumption: i. Cultural & social heterogeneity of the population. ii. Commercial-industrial base to the economy of the city. iii. Private ownership of property & economic competition for space. iv. Expanding area & population of the city. v. ...

T-S Diagram

Definition: The diagram by which the salinity & temperature of the sea water are expressed is called T-S diagram. Prepared: T-S Diagram was prepared by Helland Harsenin (1916) with the objective to determine the density of water at various depth. Characteristics: The Temperature ‘T’ & Salinity ‘S’ observed at the particular depth are represented by a single point in this diagram. The plotted points of T & S generally fall on a well defined curve, in which temperature & salinity decrease together. The density of water tends to increase with depth. In T-S Diagram, it may be observed that many combinations of temperature & salinity can yield the same density. In T-S Diagram, it may be observed that the density of water tends to increase with depth. Diagrammatic Example: Significance: The T-S Diagram is a tool of great utility in Oceanography. The T-S Diagram is the way to visualize layering of water. The T-S Diagram helps in t...
