GDP is the aggregate used most frequently to represent the economic size of countries and, on a per capita basis, the economic well-being of their residents.
GDP measures the value of production of final goods and services within the geographic boundaries of a country during a year’s period; it is also a widely used measure of the income earned by workers and owners of the factors of production located within a country in a specified year.
GDP per capita is the most commonly used indicator of the living standard within a country, although it is, of course, a measure of the average income of a country.

GDP and the related measures are measures of production for the market.
We sometimes read or hear about the "underground economy." The "underground economy" consists of transactions that are not documented for various reasons: they may be illegal, taxes may be avoided, or people may simply not take the trouble to document and report the transaction.
It is clear that undocumented production is an important component in production in many economies, especially in less developed countries where a large proportion of the rural population are illiterate people who rarely document any of their transactions.

 FRB: Speech, Greenspan--Globalization--January 13, 2004
Uptrends in the ratios of external liabilities or assets to trade, and therefore to GDP, can be shown to have been associated with the widening dispersion in countries' ratios of trade and current account balances to GDP to which I alluded earlier.

 Homeland Security and Emerging Economies
Leaving developing economies outside emerging international security regimes would be a mistake because it would both widen the gap between the developed and developing worlds and create new opportunities and sanctuaries for terrorists to exploit.
In contrast to most developed nations, security efforts in emerging economies have lagged, but not because poor countries are necessarily more natural havens for terrorists or because weak states are less worried about the threats that terrorists pose to the global community.
Yet transforming emerging economies into dependable international trading partners and extending the boundaries of the global security network depends on the ability of these nations to develop the means to stop terrorists.

Where Ted took his early finding of a $2000 GDP per capita for EverQuest and generalized from there, I start with a different piece of his data: the ratio between real-money trades, or RMT (an excellent bit of jargon just introduced by commenter FantasyMeiser) and total GDP.
So now your hipper economist prefers to reckon GDP values by indexing the local prices of a fixed basket of goods, thus measuring what’s known as purchasing power parity (or PPP) (do I hear “bingo”?), and this gives strikingly different results from the exchange-rate method.
But the only contribution of that to GDP is the cost of equipment and golf fees they pay, you can't add the time they spend on the golf course multiplied with their hourly salary to GDP as well.
