1. Economic growth broadly refers to the increase in the production of goods and services in an economy. 2. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the total market value of final goods and services produced within a country in a given period. GDP growth rate is commonly used to indicate economic expansion. 3. Net Domestic Product (NDP = GDP - Depreciation) and Net National Product (NNP = GNP - Depreciation) are refinements of aggregate income but still don't account for population changes or inflation's effect on purchasing power. 4. The 'most appropriate' measure, especially when considering the impact on living standards, is often considered to be Per Capita Real Income (e.g., Real NNP per capita or Real GDP per capita). This metric adjusts the total income for both inflation (using 'Real' income) and population size ('Per Capita'), providing a better indication of the average individual's economic well-being and purchasing power changes over time.
