BENEFIT PRINCIPLE: A principle of taxation in which taxes are based on the benefits received by people using the good financed with the tax. The benefit principle is often difficult to implement because by their very nature, many government produced goods (public goods) do not have easily measured benefits. But in those cases where benefits are identifiable, government is not shy about establishing taxes, fees, or charges in accordance with the benefit principle. Public college tuition, national park admission fees, and gasoline excise taxes are three common examples. The beneficiaries of education, a wilderness experience, and highway use are asked (required) to pay accordingly.

Lesson 10: Gross Domestic Product | Unit 3: Two Views of GDP Page: 15 of 25

Topic: Expenditures <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

The four sectors of the economy buy ALL current economic production and when aggregated give us GDP.

The four sectors and their expenditures:

  1. Household: Consumption (C).
  2. Business: Investment (I).
  3. Government: Government Expenditures (G).
  4. Foreign: Net Exports (X-M), the difference between Exports (X) and Imports (I).
Expenditures on GDP: GDP = C + I + G + (X-M)
  • C, I and G buy not just domestic goods and services, but also imports.
  • When we aggregate C, I, G and X we have domestic production plus imports. To measure only domestic production, we subtract imports (M).
