business and finance commoditiesWhat is net export and how does it affect GDP?
Likewise, is export included in GDP?
Net exports means totalexports-totalimports. Export represents domesticproduction selling toanother country. That's why it is includedin GDP (asGDP means the total market value of all finalgoods andservices produced in a country within a givenperiod).
Moreover, what is the net export effect?
The net-export effect works like this:Ahigher price level increases the relative price ofdomesticexports to other countries while decreasing therelativeprice of foreign imports from other countries. This resultsin adecrease in exports and an increase in imports and thusadecrease in net exports.
Thus, while GDP is the value of goods andservicesproduced within a country, GNP is the value of goods andservicesproduced by citizens of a country. For example, inCountry B,represented in , bananas are produced by nationals andbackrubs areproduced by foreigners.
