GDP measureseconomic growth
©2012, TESCCC
-GDP combines spending of the 3 sectors within the national economy including households (consumer spending), business firms (investment), and the government (government spending)-GDP also calculates international trade (exports and imports) as a contributing factor
©2012, TESCCC
How is GDP determined?
C + I + G + (X-M) = GDP
©2012, TESCCC
C + I + G + (X-M) = GDP
C = consumer spending
©2012, TESCCC
C + I + G + (X-M) = GDP
I = investment (business) spending on capital goods
©2012, TESCCC
C + I + G + (X-M) = GDP
G = government spending
©2012, TESCCC
C + I + G + (X-M) = GDP
(X-M) = net exportX= exportsM= imports
(exports – imports)©2012, TESCCC
C + I + G + (X-M) = GDP
• C = consumer spending• I = investment (business)
spending• G = government spending• (X-M) = net export (exports -
imports)©2012, TESCCC

Used products -These products were counted the year they were made so we will not count them again this year or the year it was purchased. For example, if you buy a used car, just 1 year old with only 10,000 miles, it is not counted in this year.

You do not have a buyer
and a seller so you do not
have a market.
