Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services

Value added (gross) 
Gross value added is the value of output less the value of intermediate 
consumption; it is a measure of the contribution to GDP made by an individual 
producer, industry or sector. The 1993 SNA recommends that value added be 
valued at basic prices and offers a more detailed discussion of the concept.
