From Open Risk Manual
Definition
Gross Operating Surplus (GOS). As part of the 2003 comprehensive NIPA revision, replaced “other value added” as one of the three components of value added. It is a profits-like measure that includes proprietors’ income, corporate profits, net interest, business transfer payments, etc.
GOS can be calculated as gross output less (1) intermediate inputs, (2) employee compensation, and (3) “taxes on production and imports less subsidies.”[1]
