Government acquisition of goods and services intended to create future benefits, such as infrastructure investment or research spending, is classed as government investment (government gross capital formation). These two types of government spending, on final consumption and on gross capital formation, together constitute one of the major ...
It is equal to the value of net output or GDP (also known as gross value added) plus intermediate consumption. Gross output represents, roughly speaking, the total value of sales by producing enterprises (their turnover) in an accounting period (e.g. a quarter or a year), before subtracting the value of intermediate goods used up in production.
The balancing item of the accounts is value added, which is equal to GDP when expressed for the whole economy at market prices and in gross terms; income accounts , which show primary and secondary income flows—both the income generated in production (e.g. wages and salaries) and distributive income flows (predominantly the redistributive ...
This may be consistent from the point of view of the definition of value-added used, but will provide a misleading view of economic activity and gross profit income, if in fact the proportion of property income in the national income increases. At the same time, value-added includes the imputed rental value of owner-occupied housing.
Gross domestic product (GDP) is defined as "the value of all final goods and services produced in a country in 1 year". [3] Gross national product (GNP) is defined as "the market value of all goods and services produced in one year by labour and property supplied by the residents of a country." [4]
But the value of the finished car doesn't just include that value-added in production, but also the materials and ancillary operating costs used to make the car. Thus, if we want to know the total sale value of the output of the car factory, the relevant measure is not the "net output" (the value-added), but rather the gross output.
The difference between basic prices and final prices (those used in the expenditure calculation) is the total taxes and subsidies that the government has levied or paid on that production. So adding taxes less subsidies on production and imports converts GDP(I) at factor cost to GDP(I) at final prices.
Government final consumption expenditure (GFCE) is an aggregate transaction amount on a country's national income accounts representing government expenditure on goods and services that are used for the direct satisfaction of individual needs (individual consumption) or collective needs of members of the community (collective consumption).
