GDP (Gross Domestic Product)

The total value of goods and services produced in an economy over a period.

In depth

GDP growth is the headline measure of economic expansion. Two consecutive quarters of negative GDP is a common recession definition (though formally, NBER in US uses broader criteria). Real GDP adjusts for inflation; nominal GDP doesn't.
