    Following are the shortcomings of GDP:
    - GDP doesn't measure the non market transactions
    - It only considers the market value of output. Not their emotional or psychic income.
    - It doesn't capture the value of improvements in product quality.
    - It doesn't take into account the underground economy or the black market.
    - Cost of Environmental harm is not deducted from GDP whereas the costs of cleaning up is included.
    - It doesn't reveal anything about how output is distributed.
    - It doesn't reflect the well being of the people in the nation
    - The GDP only reflects the trade going on in the country's markets.
