Talk:Value added
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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?
