abroad and GDP
1) Product method
Definition GNP = GDP + Net income from
total value of all goods and abroad
services in a given period AFTER
deducting the price of the goods National Income:
and services used to produce Some countrys capital
them equipment wears out annually

GDP = Primary + Secondary + National Income = Net national


Tertiary income = GNP - Depreciation

expenditure after taxes
