Major Antedating of "Gross National Product"

[Shapiro, Fred]

We're not talking about Google Books or Newspaperarchive, we're talking about JSTOR, whose datings are quite reliable.  If you look at the hit on JSTOR, you will see that it is definitely dated accurately.

I am pretty sure this is a bad date.

The NBER did research into income. I doubt anyone called its work research
