Question

Air quality in Los Angeles deteriorated in the 1950s through the 1970s and then improved in the 1980s and 1990s. Can a change in air quality such as this be incorporated into our measures of national​ income?

Answer 1

Answer:

Depending on the data regarding the air quality indices, the changes can be chosen to be incorporated or not incorporated.

Explanation:

• The change in the air quality indices and its effect on the national income would be needed to be devised correctly if it has to be incorporated.
• The data obtained on air quality is highly vulnerable to fluctuation based on the methods of data collection.
• As it is difficult to measure the impact of changed air quality indices on the economy, its incorporation in national income is also difficult.
