Best Answer

The most appropriate measure to use to illustrate the difference is the output measure of GDP/GNP.

Roughly speaking the GDP of a country is the total value of all goods and services that are produced in the country - by any company located in the country irrespective of the nationality of the company. By contrast, GNP is a measure of all goods and services produced by companies that are owned by the country (or its nationals), wherever that company operates.

So, if foreign owned companies in a country produce more than the country's foreign holdings do wherever they are located, then GDP will exceed GNP. And conversely.

Why did US replace GNP with GDP?

The short answer is that they didn't. GNP and GDP are to different economic indicators. They are however related. However I have noticed that a lot of US statistics prefer to GDP rather than GNP to describe US economy. A reason given by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in 1992 "GDP corresponds more closely than GNP does to other indicators used to analyze short-term movements in the U.S. economy, such as employment and industrial production." GNP = GDP + NR GDP = consumption + investment + (government spending) + (exports − imports)
