'yield' is essentially 'gain' or equivalence so it depends...

You've selected Economics & Chemistry as your categories so assuming you mean Economic Yield & Chemical Yield...

Economic Yield could mean a few things but the most common would probably mean Profit (Measurement: Currency).

Chemical Yield could also mean a few things depending on context but it's probably the reaction yield or the quantity of product (Measurement: Weight).

But really it all depends on context...

What is the term for the amount of product calculated to be obtained from a given amount of reactant?

The measured of the amount of product obtained from a chemical reaction is called the yield. The yield can be further converted into a percent yield, which is the ratio of the actual yield of the experiment to the theoretical yield multiplied by 100.

Why does yield of reaction decrease with increase in amount of catalyst?

It doesn't. The whole point in a catalyst is that the only thing it does, is speeds up the reaction. It does not change or affect it in any other way. However, factors which can change yield of reaction are temperature and pressure. For example, take the manufacture of ammonia. Pressure is measured in Atmospheres (atm) Temperature is measured in degrees celcius (oC) Companies that manufacture ammonia generally use 10 atms, and at least 450oC Increasing the pressure above around 10 atms, reduces yield. Having temperature that high, also reduces yield, but as well as the catalyst, it increases the speed of the reaction.


Why do the three methods for measuring economic activity yield the same answer?

Aside from the fact that they are measured for the same reason. They are also resulting in the same outcome because they utilize the same statistics.
