  1. While there is a plethora of information for me to access on your nice blog, I believe that you are lacking some of the key things that are excluded in GDP. This includes:
    Unreported business activity
    Gifts and Transfer Payments
    Illegal Activities

    Besides this minor discrepancy, nice blog!
