Description

The gross domestic product (GDP) also known as gross domestic income (GDI) is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.

Calculation

GDP can be determined in three ways, all of which should in principle give the same result. They are the product (or output) approach, the income approach, and the expenditure approach.

  1. Expenditure approach:
    The sum of 4 types of expenditure: GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net Exports (Exports - imports).

  2. Product approach:
    The sum of market value of goods and services produced.

  3. Income approach:
    The sum of the income from all producers in the country.
