Generation

**Double counting** occurs when the same economic value, cost, or benefit is counted multiple times in an analysis, leading to an inflated or inaccurate total. It matters because it distorts decision-making and resource allocation—for example, counting both a company's revenue and its suppliers' revenue in GDP calculations would overstate economic output, or including the same environmental benefit twice in a cost-benefit analysis would lead to approval of inefficient projects. Avoiding double counting ensures accurate measurement and sound policy or business decisions.
