Premise: For example, in 2000, GDP was $9,963 billion and GNP was $9,959 billion.b Given the relatively small difference between the two measures, the denominator has little effect on calculating saving as a share of the economy.

Hypothesis: In 2000 the GNP was much higher than the GDP and the denominator had a large effect on calculating saving as a share of the economy. 
Relation: contradiction
