Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

  • The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a given year within a country.
  • Includes all goods and services produced by citizen-supplied or foreign-supplied resources employed within the country.
  • Avoiding multiple counting: all goods and services produced in a particular year must be counted once and only once.

Included and Excluded Items

  • Included: Final Goods, Value Added, Public Transfer Payments, Private Transfer Payments
  • Excluded: Intermediate Goods, Nonproduction Transactions, Stock Market Transactions, Secondhand Sales

Value Added

  • The market value of a firm's output less the value of the inputs the firm has bought from others.
  • Example: In a five-stage production process, the difference between what a firm pays for a product and what it receives from selling the product is paid out as wages, rent, interest, and profit.

Three Approaches to GDP

  • Expenditure Approach: Add up all spending on final goods and services that has taken place throughout the year.
  • Income Approach: Also called the Earnings or Allocation Approach, it adds up the income earned by individuals and businesses in the country.
  • Industry-Origin Approach: Also called the Value Added Approach, it adds up the value added per unit over all units sold.

Expenditure Approach

  • C + I + G + NX = GDP
  • Consumption: Spending by households on final goods and services
  • Investment: Spending by private businesses on capital goods, changes in inventories, and construction
  • Government Spending: Spending by government on final goods and services
  • Net Exports: Exports minus imports

Income Approach

  • Compensation of Employees: Income received by employees as wages and salaries
  • Rents: Income received by households and businesses that supply property resources
  • Interests: Income received by suppliers of money capital
  • Proprietors Income: Net income of sole proprietorships, partnerships, and other unincorporated businesses
  • Corporate Profits: Composed of corporate income taxes, dividends, and undistributed corporate profits

Industry-Origin Approach

  • A + I + S = GDP
  • Agriculture, Fishery, and Forestry Sector: Captures value added from the production of agricultural crops, ornamental plants, and livestock
  • Industry Sector: Represents value added of firms engaged in mining, manufacturing, construction, and utilities
  • Service Sector: Consists of subsectors such as transportation, communication, finance, trade, and others

Example Data
