In economics, output is the quantity and quality of goods or services produced in a given time period, within a given economic network,^[1] whether consumed or used for further production.^[2] The economic network may be a firm, industry, or nation. The concept of national output is essential in the field of macroeconomics. It is national output that makes a country rich, not large amounts of money.^[3]
