@kennergf @gabriel not to be a party pooper, but looking at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_domestic_product isn't that compensated for?

When using the 'production approach' it'd fall under 'intermediate consumption', for the 'income' approach the income would be balanced by the expense. I don't quite understand the 'expenditure' approach, is that the one you're referring to? Seems surprising if that would be so fundamentally different.

Not saying GDP is a particularly strong measurement of anything, though, to be clear.
