    GDP: If a Government exports a product, is it an export or Government?
    The GDP formula is: GDP = Consumption + Government Spending + Investments + (Exports - Imports).


    So the Government exports $5 billion worth of Oil. It then takes this $5 billion and funds an Education Program in the nation.


    Does this $5 billion go to "Government Spending? Or to "Export"?

    Or will this be counted twice? For a total of $10 billion.
