List and explain the two different approaches used to measure GDP
The two different approaches are: the expenditure approach and the income approach. When using the expenditure approach the amount of money spent by buyers on final goods and services is summed. The spending by the four sectors of the economy (households, businesses, government and foreign sector) is combined to yield the GDP. The income approach is computed by summing the income earned by the different resources that were used to produce a country's goods and services (national income) and then making some adjustments to arrive at GDP.
