Question 2

Correct Answer:

Verified

Gross national product (GNP)is the value of all goods and services produced by a country's domestic and international activities over a one-year period.Gross domestic product (GDP)is the value of all goods and services produced by a domestic economy over a one-year period.GDP is a narrower figure that excludes a nation's income generated from exports,imports,and the international operations of its companies.
Although GDP and GNP are the most popular indicators of economic development,they have several important drawbacks.First,for a variety of reasons,many of a nation's transactions do not get counted in either GDP or GNP.Second,gross product figures do not indicate whether a nation's economy is growing or shrinking-they are simply a snapshot of one year's economic output.Third,per capita numbers provide an average figure for an entire country,which does not give us a very detailed picture of development.Finally,country comparisons using gross product figures can be misleading.
