➤ Why might consumer expenditures be less than GDP in a given year?
Consumer expenditures can be less than GDP because GDP includes investment, government spending, and net exports. Firms may add inventory or exports can raise GDP while households spend less. High saving rates, large government purchases, or strong business investment explain why consumption is a subset of total economic output in any period.
