Talk:Gross National Income
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Why would the U.S. government select Gross Domestic Product as a better indicator of economic activity in the United States than Gross National Income? Asked by Umbie1 on 18 March 2006.

When built out, this should include more cross-referencing. I'm converting one capitalized term to a cross-reference. GRBerry 16:29, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
To answer the question: GDP is a more robust national account statistic, because it involves less 'fiddling', as the respective articles on GDP and GNI should tell you. Unless there is a significant discrepancy between the two figures (as in significant net income transfers of capital and labour, as in Ireland or Saudi Arabia), then GDP will always be a better statistic, less prone to calculation error. In the US, net factor income is plus/minus zero; which is to say, given the sheer size of output value, the difference is not significantly greater than the measurement error.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg
Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
