BANK RESERVES: The "money" that banks use to conduct day-to-day business, including cashing checks, satisfying customers's withdrawals, and clearing checks between accounts at different banks. The "money" in question includes vault cash and Federal Reserve deposits. Specifically, vault cash is the paper money and coins that a bank keeps on the bank premises (both in the vault and in teller drawers), which is used to "cash" checks and otherwise provide the funds that customers withdraw. Federal Reserve deposits are accounts that banks keep with the Federal Reserve System, which are used to process, in a systematic, centralized fashion, the millions of checks written each day by customers of one bank that are deposited by customers of another bank. Using these deposits, the Fed acts as a central clearing house for checks, being able to simultaneously debit the account of one bank and credit the account of another. More on the importance of bank reserves can be found under fractional-reserve banking.

NET NATIONAL PRODUCT: The total market value of all final goods and services produced by citizens of an economy during a given period of time, usually a year, after adjusting for the depreciation of capital. Net national product (NNP) has the same relation to net domestic product (NDP) as gross national product (GNP) has to gross domestic product (GDP). Net national product also has the same relation to gross national product that net domestic product has to gross domestic product. Like NDP, NNP is a measure of the net production in the economy. The key difference between NNP and NDP is identical to that between GNP and GDP. Net national product measures all output produced by citizens of a nation, regardless of where that production takes place, and net domestic product measures all output produced within the political boundaries of a nation, regardless of the citizenry of those doing the producing. The difference between NNP and NDP is net foreign factor income.In the same way that NDP is derived from GDP by subtracting capital depreciation, specifically the capital consumption adjustment (CCA), NNP is derived from GNP by subtracting the capital consumption adjustment. When GNP gave way to GDP as the primary measure of gross production in the early 1990s, so too did NNP give way to NDP as the primary measure of net production in the economy. NNP can still be derived from the numbers provided by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, but it is seldom if ever reported with other standard measures of production and income.
