GDP has several shortcomings when measuring the economy's performance. It does not take into account nonmarket transactions. The labor of a homeowner repairing his own house is not included in GDP, so GDP understates the total output.
Also, GDP fails to account for improved product quality. Personal computers have seen drastic improvements in speed and storage capabilities since the 1990's, but their improvements are not counted in GDP.
The underground economy is, for obvious reasons, not included in GDP calculations. Gamblers, smugglers, and drug dealers comprise a substantial amount of a nation's economic activity, but their "work" is disregarded.
Illeagal activities such as gambling, prostitution, smuggling are few obvious reasons. Under the table work which is not being taxed is also another.
Underground activities, leisure, product improvements
excludes international transactions
Those purchases would be counted as a final good in GDP calculation which are made by final consumers for their own use.
A GDP gap is the difference between actual GDP and potential GDP. The calculation of the GDP gap is actual output minus potential output. If this calculation yields a positive number it is called an inflationary gap and indicates the increased growth of aggregate demand is outpacing the growth of aggregate supply which may possibly create inflation. If the calculation yields a negative number it is called a recessionary gap- possible signifying deflation.
Yes. Sale of a product to the end user is part of GDP calculation
Net exports will be positive and will add to the calculation of GDP.

. The synthetic GDP was calculated by the source's authors, and is a calculation of what a country's GDP per capita would have been had there been no EU
Yes. Sale of a product to the end user is part of GDP calculation
Net exports will be positive and will add to the calculation of GDP.
The GDP Deflator uses the GDP calculation to work out inflation while CPI uses a basket of goods that are compared over time to work out the increase in prices
Yes, but the exact way you would count that money depends on the method of GDP calculation that you use.
That would be counting them twice, they were already counted when new.
no it's not, as an embassy area is considered as a foreign territory..,,it is applicable to military bases too..
shortcomings
1. These aggregates do not measure the distribution of income and final goods and services. A higher GDP can be due to an increase in the income only of the richer section of the economy. The income of the poorer section could even have deteriorated despite a high GDP or GNP. 2. Externalities are ignored in the calculation of GDP. A higher GDP may have resulted in the current year due to unsustainable use of resources during a period.
