Final answer:

GDP is the total monetary value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a specific time period, typically a year, accounting for the value at the final stage of production to avoid double counting.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that GDP is the value of all goods and services produced in a country during a time period is True.

GDP, or Gross Domestic Product, represents the total monetary value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period, usually a year.

It is crucial for statisticians to avoid 'double counting' by only including final goods; these are goods that are at the furthest stage of production at the end of the year, as this ensures that the values are not counted multiple times as they move through different production stages.

For instance, the value of tires is counted once in the price of a vehicle that uses those tires and not separately. Also, GDP can be measured by either the sum of what is purchased or what is produced in an economy.
