Economic growth refers to the expansion of the national income-the total production of goods and services of a country over a given period. Economic growth is usually measured by the pace of change of gross domestic product (GDP) after adjustment for inflation also known as real GDP. Nominal GDP, on the other hand, refers to the market value of goods and services produced by a country and it can increase due to a rise in production of goods and services or a jump in their prices or both. The real GDP growth rate is equal to the nominal GDP growth rate minus the inflation rate from www.canadianeconomy.gc.ca/english/economy/economic_growth.html
