From the Paper:

"The two types of GDPs in existence are nominal GDP and real GDP. Nominal GDP, or un-adjusted GDP, is based on the prices in effect at the time of production, while real GDP, or adjusted GDP, has been altered to reflect changes in price. Neither of the GDPs considers the non-market activities that exist in society. These activities involve homemaking, illegal activity, and leisure. Another shortcoming of the GDP is that it is a quantitative measure and not a qualitative one, which does limit its information. Economic growth is measured by the increase in GDP over time, either per capita or in general. The rise and fall of economic activity generates a business cycle. One rise and one fall in the business cycle are denoted by a peak followed by a recession which ends at a trough and returns with recovery."
