Definition of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the standard measure of a country's aggregate output. It is defined as the total market value of all final goods and services produced within an economy during a specific period. To avoid double counting, the output of intermediate goods, which are used as inputs for final production, is excluded from the calculation.
