The answer is the third one: not counted in GDP because the trip does not involve any formal market transactions.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Counted in GDP because Joe and Pam represent different households.
    This is incorrect. GDP measures the value of goods and services produced within a country. The fact that Joe and Pam are from different households does not automatically mean the trip is counted in GDP. The key factor is whether the transaction involves a market exchange of goods or services.

  2. Counted in GDP because Joe purchased the gas.
    This is incorrect in the context of the trip itself. While the purchase of gas is a market transaction and would be counted in GDP, the trip to the airport itself is not a market transaction. GDP measures the production of goods and services, and the trip is a personal favor, not a service sold in the market.

  3. Not counted in GDP because the trip does not involve any formal market transactions.
    This is correct. The trip to the airport is a personal favor and does not involve a formal market transaction. GDP includes only those activities that involve market transactions where goods or services are exchanged for money.

  4. Not counted because nothing was actually produced.
    This is partially correct but not the best explanation. While it's true that the trip itself does not result in the production of a new good or service in a market context, the more precise reason it is not counted in GDP is that it does not involve a formal market transaction.

In summary, the trip to the airport is not counted in GDP because it does not involve any formal market transactions.
