Calculate the inflation rate using the GDP deflator based on the Laspeyres, Paasche, and chain- weighted indexes of GDP (use the approximate formula).
Consider the data for a known country for the consumer price index (CPI), by components:(base year 2015 = 100)
a) Interpret the value of the CPI index in December 2018.
b) Calculate the year-on-year inflation rate corresponding to the CPI, in December 2018.
c) Suppose the GDP Deflator in 2020 is predicted to be 1.09. What can be interpreted?
Using the GDP Deflator calculate the average annual inflation rate that the U.S. experienced over the period beginning with the year of 1998 and ending with 2020. (Note: you do not use the inflation rate as the data you plug into the formula. Rather, you calculate an inflation rate by using the formula.)
GDP Deflator:
price index in 1998 is 75.3, in 2020 is 113.6
inflation rate in 1998 is 1.1, in 2020 is 1.2
nominal interest rates in 1998 is 6.53, in 2020 is 2.48
Real interest rates in 1998 is 5.41, in 2020 is 1.27
