gdp  after 5 minutes of thinking about gdp and statistics in general, i have a question. imagine the following situation, you have person a, whose job pays 100$, and person b, who doesn't have a job. 1. if both of them own their homes, the gdp of this situation would be the 100$ that person a can save or spend 2. if b owns the house where a lives, and charges a rent of 50$, the total amount of money is still 100$ (divided 50/50 between a and b), the amount of houses is still the same, but the gdp is now 150$ in fact, the only different between (1) and (2) is that in (1) at least b has an incentive to get a job, while in (2) the gdp is higher but the actual productivity will be lower because of this what would be a good measure of the real economy? average household disposable income adjusted by purchasing power?
