This Demonstration calculates the gross domestic product (GDP) based on the four components of the GDP equation:

GDP = consumption + investments + government expenditure + (exports – imports).

The GDP value divided by the population size equals the GDP per capita. While simplistic, this model provides a very clear visual representation of the most widely used metric of economic activity.
