How does the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) differ from the GPI (Genuine Progress Indicator)?
- GDP does not include items bought and sold over the Internet. Critics say that this makes the GDP out-of-date and came up with the GPI to add these purchases into the calculations. - GPI reflects the total value of goods and services, while the GDP focuses only on the goods produced. - The GDP reflects only a single calendar year, while the GPI looks at historical trends and projects into the future. - The GPI takes into account externalities (both good and bad) and other nonmarket values, while the GDP does not.
