"A country's gross domestic product, or GDP, is one of several measures of the size of its economy. Until the 1980s the term GNP or gross national product was used. The two terms GDP and GNP are almost identical. The most common approach to measuring and understanding GDP is the expenditure method:\n\nGDP = consumption + investment + government spending + (exports − imports)"
