Definition: Broadcasting and telecommunications, Nominal GSP (current dollars) GSP, or Gross State Product is the value of all the goods and services produced in a state. Specific industries measured will give the value of all goods and services in that industry. The Nominal Gross State Product measures the value of all the goods and services produced expressed in current prices. On the other hand, Real Gross State Product measures the value of all the goods and services produced expressed in the prices of some base year. Cost of the Military. This data set indicates how much money leaves the state in terms of residents' individual income taxes to pay for military spending. In this case, the 'military' is simply defined as the function area (050) 'National Defense' in the federal budget. As such, it does not include other military-related items like financing weapons sales.
