In what ways does GDP overstate income within a nation Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can be termed as one of the most widely used measures of the production or output of any economy. It can be summed up as the total value of the services and goods that are produced within the borders of a given country for a specified period. This can be monthly, quarterly, or also annually. The value obtained is used to determine the net income of each citizen of the nation by dividing through by the entire population. This number can either be higher or lower than the actual income of the common citizen. This gives birth to the idea of overstatement and understatement of the income of a country (Benford et al, 2016).

This can be affected by the inclusions that are made during the calculation of the GDP of the country. A country might have a high GDP while the income of the common citizen is very low.…
