Some Problems of GDP Measurement in a Service-Digital Economy: Implications for Growth-Oriented Policies

Summary/Abstract: The article has two aims: cognitive and theoretical. The cognitive aim consists in analyzing the impact of inaccurate and controversial methods of measuring the actual and potential GDP on growth-oriented fiscal and innovative policies. The theoretical aim consists in the critical appraisal of theoretical (post-Keynesian and endogenous) foundations of growth-oriented government expenditures. As to the first aim, the author argues that inaccurate methods of GDP measurement can lead to unnecessary or excessive budgetary expenditures while controversial methods of GDP measurement can result in too high or too low budgetary spending. As to the second aim, the author maintains that theoretical foundations of growth-oriented government expenditures are incomplete because of over-looking the question of imprecision involved in measuring the aim variables of those policies.
