- Final Goods and Services: The end product of a process.
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP): Measures an economy's productivity; total market value, including tangible goods and services (public and private).

- Imports: Domestic purchases of foreign-produced goods/services.
- Investments: Firm spending on final goods/services, primarily capital goods (equipment, structures, inventories).
- Labor Income: Wages, salaries, income of employed/self-employed. Two-thirds of GDP.
