Which statement best supports an accurate understanding of Land and Output?
- Time-sensitive claims about population, employment, agriculture, and GDP should include date, period, source agency, and whether values are estimates, counts, preliminary data, or revised data.

- Current-dollar GDP measures production at prevailing prices and therefore combines quantity and price effects.
