The traditional calculation of GDP—consumption plus investment plus government spending plus net exports—was designed for a manufacturing-based economy. In the mid-20th century, value was tangible: it was found in the number of automobiles produced, the tons of steel shipped, and the inventory of retail goods sold. However, the modern economy is increasingly driven by intangible assets. Research in the field often highlights that while investment in physical infrastructure (like factories) is easily counted, investment in digital infrastructure (like broadband networks, cloud computing, and software development) is often misclassified or undercounted. This discrepancy is a central theme in discussions regarding the "productivity paradox," where massive technological advancements have not always resulted in a corresponding clear rise in GDP figures.
