Množina: gross domestic products

(GDP) Value of the output of all goods and services produced within a nation's borders, normally given as a total for the year. It thus includes the production of foreign-owned firms within the country, but excludes the income from domestically owned firms located abroad. See also gross national product.
Since output is derived from expenditure on goods and services by firms, consumers, and government net of imports; and income (in the form of wages, salaries, interest, rent, and profits) is derived from the production of goods and services, GDP can be measured either by the sum of total output or expenditure or incomes. However, in practice there is usually a slight discrepancy between the three because of the highly complex calculations involved.
GDP fluctuates in relation to the trade cycle and standard of living.
Measure of the US economy adopted in 1991; the total market values of goods and services by produced by workers and capital within the US borders during a given period (usually 1 yr); SYN. GDP.
