This module provides an overview of the Circular Flow Model and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in AP Economics, presented by Mr. Bernstein. It explores the National Accounts, which assess the flows and expenditures of a country's economy, akin to a corporation's income statement. The Circular Flow Diagram illustrates interactions between households and firms in product and factor markets. Additionally, we discuss the definitions of GDP, its calculation methods—Expenditures and National Income approaches, and what is excluded from GDP measurements.
