  1. Total employment
  2. Gross value added
  3. Business_output
  4. Household income (aggregate wages and salaries)
  5. Wealth (including property values)
  6. Public (tax) income (income tax, social contributions, value added tax, profit tax, etc.)
  7. Public expenditures (investments, salaries, social welfare expenses, etc.)

Each of these economic output measures reflects a particular dimension of change in the economic activity in a particular area as is illustrated by the figure below:

Furthermore, the various measures of economic impact are overlapping[1]. An increase in business activity, for example, will generate income for its employees, profit for its owners, and tax income for the public authorities. For this reason, the different measures cannot be added together to calculate the total economic impact.
