Question 14 • {HS} Healthy Living [Semester Only]

Which of the following is not considered when calculating a country’s GDP?

Answer
A
goods produced by government agencies or commissions
B
goods produced in the country by people who are not citizens
C
services produced in the country
D
goods produced by citizens of the country who are currently overseas

Explanation

GDP measures the value of goods and services produced within a country’s borders, regardless of whether the producers are citizens. So it includes production by government agencies, noncitizens living or working in the country, and services produced there. Goods produced by citizens while they are overseas are not part of their home country’s GDP; that activity is associated with the country where the production takes place.
