Using the index method for international comparison of indicators of GDP factors

Abstract

In the article were discussed the conceptual framework of international comparison of the dynamics, structure of GDP and the influence of factors on GDP at the production stage, using the index method and data from the national accounts. The three-factor multiplicative model was proposed. On this basis were drawn conclusions about and the impact of defining factors on GDP of Ukraine and Poland for 2014–2016. This made it possible to compare the effect of individual factors on the GDP of the selected countries.
