GNP converted into dollars using an average exchange rate over several years adjusted for rates of inflation is
gross national income.
Depreciation is
subtracted from GNP to get NNP.
If receipts of factor income from the rest of the world exceed payments of factor income to the rest of the world, then
GNP is greater than GDP.
Gross national product is the total market value of
all final goods and services produced by resources owned by a country, regardless of where production takes place.
Real GDP is gross domestic product measured
in the prices of a base year.
GDP is not a perfect measure of social welfare and the society's economic well-being because
it does not say anything about the distribution of income, GDP accounting rules do not adjust for production that causes negative externalities, and it does not include all economic activities in the economy.
A rancher raises alpaca. Once a year, he shears them and sells the raw wool to a processor who spins it into yarn. The yarn is then sold to a mill which produces and sells alpaca sweaters. In calculating GDP we would count

If real GDP in 2016 using 2015 prices is lower than nominal GDP of 2016, then
