GDP: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Expenditure approach?

It totals spending on final goods and services: GDP = C + I + G + (X − M).

What is the Resource Cost–Income approach?

It aggregates incomes from production (compensation, proprietors’ income, rental income, corporate profits, and net interest) and includes adjustments like indirect business taxes, depreciation, and net income of foreigners to reconcile with GDP.

Should both methods match?

Conceptually yes—spending equals income. Small differences may appear due to measurement and timing.
