  1. I like your style of notes! It makes the information easier to read and to study off of. I also enjoyed your examples of what can be included or excluded in GDP, it helped me understand GDP calculations better. I think you could add some videos or links to a website explaining how to use the formulas that are given, it would take your blog to another level! Any visuals/pictures would really help as well!
