【地区生产总值】指按市场价格计算的一个地区所有常住单位在一定时期内生产活动的最终成果。

地区生产总值有三种核算方法，即生产法、收入法和支出法。三种方法分别从不同的角度反映国民经济生产活动成果。

支出法是从最终使用的角度反映生产活动最终成果的方法。最终使用包括最终消费支出、资本形成总额及货物和服务净流出三部分，计算公式为：支出法地区生产总值=最终消费支出+资本形成总额+货物和服务净流出。

【三次产业】根据社会生产活动历史发展的顺序对产业结构的划分，产品直接取自自然界的部门称为第一产业，对初级产品进行再加工的部门称为第二产业。为生产消费提供各种服务的部门称为第三产业。它是世界上通用的产业结构分类，但各国的划分不尽一致。第一产业增加值等于农林牧渔业增加值减去于农林牧渔服务业增加值；第二产业增加值等于工业增加值与建筑业增加值之和，减去开采辅助活动以及金属制品、机械和设备修理业增加值；第三产业增加值等于地区生产总值减去第一产业、第二产业增加值。

【最终消费支出】指常住单位为满足物质、文化和精神生活的需要，从本地区经济区域和地区外购买的货物和服务的支出。它不包括非常住单位在本地区经济区域内的消费支出。最终消费支出包括居民消费支出和政府消费支出。

【政府消费支出】指政府部门为全社会提供公共服务的消费支出，等于政府部门的产出价值减去政府部门所获得的经营收入，政府部门产出价值等于它的经常性业务支出加上固定资产折旧。

【资本形成总额】常住单位在一定时期内获得减去处置的固定资产和存货的净额，包括固定资本形成总额和存货增加部分。

【固定资本形成总额】指常住单位在一定时期内购置、转入和自产自用的固定资产价值，扣除销售和转出的价值，包括有形固定资本形成总额和无形固定资本形成总额。

【存货增加】指常住单位在核算期内存货实物量变动的市场价值，即期末价值减期初价值的差额，再扣除当期由于价格变动而产生的持有收益。

【可比价格】指在不同时期的价值指标对比时，扣除了价格变动的因素，以确切反映物量的变化。按可比价格计算有两种方法：一种是直接用产品产量乘某一年的不变价格计算；另一种是用价格指数换算。

【平均每年增长速度】在我国计算平均增长速度有两种方法。一种是习惯上经常使用的“水平法”，又称几何平均法，是以间隔期最后一年的水平同基期水平对比来计算平均每年增长（或下降）速度；另一种是“累计法”，又称代数平均法或方程法，是以间隔期内各年水平的总和同基期水平对比来计算平均每年增长（或下降）速度。

在正常情况下，两种方法计算的平均每年增长速度比较接近。但在经济发展不平衡，出现大起大落时，两种方法计算的结果差别较大。

本年鉴内所列的平均每年增长速度，除固定资产投资、直接吸收外资是用“累计法”计算以外，其余均用“水平法”计算。从某年到某年平均增长速度的年份，均不包括基期年在内。如1979—2004年平均增长速度是以1978年为基期计算的，余类推。

Expenditure approach refers to total expenditure on final consumption, total capital formation and net exports of goods and services by resident units of a country in a certain period of time.

【Three Strata of Industry】means the division of industrial structure according to the historical sequence of social productive activities. The sector which receives products directly from the nature is called the primary industry. The sector which re-processes primary products is called the secondary industry. The sector which offers various services for production and consumption is called the tertiary industry. This is a world universal classification of industrial structure. But it is different in different countries. As stated in China's standards on Classification of Sectors in National Economy Version 2002: The growth level of the primary industry is equals to the growth level of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery minus the growth level of service industries of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery; The growth level of secondary industry is equals to the sum of the growth level of industry and construction, minus the growth level of supporting activities for mining and repair industries of metal products, machinery and equipment.; The growth rate of the tertiary industry is equals to Gross Domestic Product minus the growth level of the primary and secondary industries.

Primary Industry: agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery ( Including agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery sectors and services in support of these industries.

Tertiary Industry: any sector other than the primary or secondary industries.

Two methods are used for calculating comparable prices:1.output by constant price of certain year；2. output in current prices divided by relevant price index.

【Average Annual Growth Rate】Two methods for calculating Average Annual Growth Rate are applied in China, one is often called"level approach"or geometry average, which is derived by comparing the growth rate for the last year of the interval with that of the beginning year；the other is called "accumulating approach"or algebraic average of equation method, which is calculated by comparing the total growth rate of each year for the interval with that of base year.

Usually the results calculated by the two methods are fairly close, but they differ sharply when imbalance occurred in economic development with striking fluctuations in growth.

The Average Annual Growth Rates listed in this statistical yearbook are calculated by "level approach" except for the growth rate of investment in fixed assets and foreign capital absorbed. The base years are not listed when the years are listed for average annual growth rates, for instance the average annual growth rate of 19792004 is calculated with the base year 1978.And the analogy of this is also for the rest.
