So here we're talking about gdp, right? so we should start with the definition.
00:04
Gdp is the market value of all final production, right? or final domestic production.
00:13
So it only counts a few things, right? it has to be traded in a market, it has to be final, and it has to be produced domestically, right? so for one, loss of enjoyment is not counted.
00:38
And it's not counted because it's not market, right? this is sort of a non -market good, an externality of the land, and that is simply not captured in gdp, right? b, this is, let's say, chinese ipod parts.
01:02
This is accurately not counted, right? it's not part of gdp.
01:12
And it shouldn't be.
01:14
It's stuff being produced in china, and it's not part of gdp, right? it's not final.
01:20
It's an intermediate good.
01:22
And so it shouldn't be, right? no, i mean, like stuff china's producing should not be involved in a measure that is trying to tell us, say, what the united states is producing.
01:31
Three, quality.
01:36
Now, this is a bit tricky, but i would generally say that it is counted, right? because quality is reflected in market price, right? higher quality goods generally are worth more in the marketplace, right? so stuff that is worth more in the marketplace is going to contribute more to gdp, right? the stuff that you are buying, the value of that stuff is in gdp...
