Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The purchase of Nike stock does not involve the production of any goods or services and does not contribute to the economy's output, so it would not be included in GDP. The other options involve either the production or purchase of goods or services, or public sector investment, all of which would be counted in GDP.
