and services produced within an economy in a year. There are 2 ways to measure it.O The expenditure approach is
calculating total spending of different economic sectors (private households, business firms, governments, and foreign buyers).
O The income approach is adding up total income in a year.

GDP and WarO Wartime may experience an appearance
of an increase in GDP because of the increase of war stuffs production.
O NOT a good thing because it’s using capital to destroy other capital and not being detected.
O Economists look at the “real” or “inflation-adjusted” in which the price level is kept constant.
