Year 2018 2019 2020 (Dollars) EM (Base year 2018, dollars) From 2019 to 2020, nominal GDP The inflation rate in 2020 was GDP Deflator UQ and real GDP Why is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP? Nominal GDP is adjusted for the effects of inflation or deflation, whereas real GDP is not. Real GDP is not influenced by price changes, but nominal GDP is. Real GDP measures the value of the goods and services an economy produces, but nominal GDP measures the value of the goods and services an economy consumes.

Repeat b. using 2021 as the base year. e. Does the growth rate for real GDP depend on which year is chosen as the base year?

GDP in the U.S. in 2000 was $10.1 trillion dollars and GDP in 2008 was $14.3 trillion. The CPI in 2000 was 172.2 and the CPI in 2008 was 215.3 (The CPI in 2009 was 214.5) What was Real GDP in 2008 (in 2009 $)? $14.25 trillion $11.48 trillion $17.81 trillion $14.35 trillion Question 30 (S What was the economic growth rate between 2000 and 2008? Growth rate= RGDP (2)-RGDP (1) 100 RGDP (1) A

3. Consider an economy that only produces mittens. In Year 1, 4000 pairs of mittens are produced and the price is $5 per pair. In the Year 2, 5000 pairs of mittens are produced and the price is $7 per pair. In Year 3, 7000 pair of mittens are produced and the price is $9 per pair. Use Year 1 as the base year. What is the nominal GDP for each year? What is the real GDP for each year? What is the GDP deflator for each year? What is the percentage growth rate of real GDP from year 2 to year 3? What is the inflation rate (as measured by the GDP deflator) from year 2 to year 3?

Nominal GDP GDP deflator Year 1 $200 bill. 100 a. Express year 2 GDP in the prices of year 1 b. Calculate the growth of real GDP Year 2 $300 bill. 125

If nominal GDP is $10 trillion and real GDP is $8 trillion, the GDP deflator is: a. 80, and this indicates that the price level has decreased by 20 percent since the base year. b. 80, and this indicates that the price level has increased by 80 percent since the base year. c. 125, and this indicates that the price level has increased by 25 percent since the base year. d. 125, and this indicates that the price level has increased by 125 percent since the base year.
