Goods and services are counted in GDP at market prices because this approach reflects the actual economic value exchanged in the marketplace, providing a clear indication of a country's economic activity. However, using market prices can have disadvantages, such as overlooking non-market transactions (e.g., household labor) and failing to account for externalities, which can distort the true economic well-being and resource allocation. Additionally, market prices can be influenced by inflation, leading to potential misinterpretations of real growth.

Externalities arise because the actions of individuals or firms affect others who are not directly involved in a transaction, leading to costs or benefits that are not reflected in market prices. These effects can be positive (benefits) or negative (costs), such as pollution impacting nearby residents or a well-maintained garden enhancing neighborhood property values. The lack of appropriate compensation or regulation for these external effects often results in market failures, as the true social costs or benefits are not accounted for in decision-making. Consequently, externalities can lead to overproduction or underproduction of goods and services.
