Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shares of stock are an example of financial transactions and are not included in GDP calculations. GDP only includes the market value of final goods and services produced within a country's borders during a specific time period. Accounting services and haircuts, for example, are examples of final goods and services that are included in GDP calculations because they are sold in markets. The value of high-definition television sets produced, but not sold, during the year is also included in GDP calculations because they represent final goods that have been produced during the period.
