GDP Is Now the
Primary Measure of
U.S. Production
With the release of com prehensive revisions to
the national incom e and product accounts, the U .S.
Department o f Com m erce shifted to the use of
gross dom estic product (GDP), rather than gross
national product (GNP), as the primary measure of
the country’s production o f goods and services.
Although different in concept, these two measures
show essentially the same pattern of past cyclical
trend m ovem ents. The GDP o f a country
includes the goods and services produced within
the geographical boundaries o f that country. GNP,
on the other hand, includes the goods and services
produced by a country’s residents regardless o f
their location. The major com ponents o f GDP are
the same as those for GNP, except for net exports.
The GDP measure includes incom e payments to
foreigners and excludes incom e receipts by U .S.
residents from abroad; GNP is just the opposite.
The Com m erce Department shifted its empha­
sis to GDP for a number o f reasons. One is that,
conceptually, GDP is more consistent with other in­
dicators of U .S. econom ic performance such as em ­
ployment, industrial production and retail sales.
Second, G DP is the primary measure o f production
in most o f the rest o f the world. Finally, this shift
in emphasis reflects measurement considerations.

Incom e payments to foreigners and receipts from
foreigners, particularly the latter, are difficult to
estimate in a tim ely manner.
Whether GDP is greater or less than GNP de­
pends m ainly on whether there is more or less for­
eign investm ent in a country than that country has
invested abroad. For the United States and other
major industrial countries, GDP tends to be less
than GNP, although the differences are small. For
the United States, the largest percentage difference
since 1959 w as 1.3 percent in 1979. In developing
countries like M exico and Chile, GDP is larger than
GNP by 5 percent or more.
