Question 5

Term for identification: Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

Accepted Answer

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a standard economic indicator used to measure the total value of all goods and services produced over a specific time period within a country's borders. It is commonly used to gauge the economic performance of a country and to make international comparisons.

GDP can be calculated using three different approaches, which should theoretically yield the same figure:

1. **Production (or output or value-added) approach:** This method sums the value of outputs produced by every class of enterprise in the economy minus the value of the inputs to their production. The idea is to calculate the value added at each stage of production.

2. **Income approach:** This method totals the incomes generated by production, such as the compensation of employees, profits for corporations, and taxes less subsidies on production and imports.

3. **Expenditure approach:** This is the most common approach and it adds up the total spending on the country's goods and services. It includes consumption by households and government, investment in machinery and buildings, and net exports (exports minus imports).

GDP can be expressed in nominal or real terms. Nominal GDP is calculated at current market prices, which means it can be affected by changes in price or inflation. Real GDP is adjusted for inflation and reflects the value of all goods and services at constant prices.

GDP is an important indicator because it gives a broad picture of the economic activity and health of a country. A growing GDP indicates economic expansion, while a contracting GDP may signal economic trouble. However, GDP does not account for the distribution of income among residents of a country, nor does it consider whether the rate of growth is sustainable in the long term. It also does not measure the informal economy or take into account the negative effects of economic growth on the environment.
