	Economic
		Limitations of the Indicator: As a necessary condition to being a key economic performance indicator of sustainable development, one of the often‑cited limitations of GDP is that it does not account for the social and environmental costs of production; it therefore is not a good measure of the level of over‑all well being.
		The components of the indicator (exports and/or imports) are reflecting the change in economic behavior of the domestic trade enterprises, the change in exchange rate, the effect of the change in exchange rate, and international competitiveness.
		When using it as an indicator of sustainability the indicator has to be interpreted in connection with other indicators of economic development and energy use, as smaller or larger values of the indicator do not necessarily indicate more or less sustainable development.

	Financial Sense Editorial "Latest Economic Indicator Data Confirms..." by Bob Bronson 01.20.2005
		Recent month's economic indicator data from the Conference Board further confirm our previous call for a major top in the stock market signaling a recession starting later this year.
		This is more clear when the stock market's post-election rally, which we called a bull trap before its yearend high, is removed and the other leading economic indicators are considered in their aggregate time series topping pattern.
		Although this point is not supported here, if we're right about the bull trap completely reversing, January and subsequent month's stock market losses will make this self-evidently clear in the leading economic indicator data then reported.
