What is the relationship of the GDP deflator to real GDP?
To make comparisons across time or across borders, one must use the notion of a GDP deflator to convert nominal GDP into real GDP for comparisons. Nominal variables are in current dollars and have price level changes such as inflation and deflation included in them. Real variables are in constant dollars due to the factoring out of price level changes using a base year and a deflator.

What is the current real GDP for the US economy?

- The gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States is defined as the all in a given period of time. Based on this definition, indicate which of the following transactions will be included in (that is, directly increase) the GDP of the United States in 2023. Scenario Generic Motor Company, a U.S. automobile company, produces a pickup truck at a manufacturing facility in Lordstown on January 6, 2023. It sells the car at a dealership in Dallas on February 2, 2023. Graincorp, a U.S. agricultural company, produces corn syrup at a plant in Iowa on September 25, 2023. It sells the corn syrup to Crunchy's for use in the production of cereal that will be made in the United States in 2023. (Note: Focus exclusively on whether production of the corn syrup increases GDP directly, and ignore the effect of production of the cereal on GDP.)

- From March 2003 until October 2007 the S & P stock index, a broad measure of stock market prices, almost doubled. In addition, during the early 2000's U.S. Home Prices rose continuously until they peaked in March of 2006. Both home prices and the stock market declined from 2006 until March 2009 when both started to climb. How do you think the movement in home prices affected GDP? What was the impact of both on consumer spending? What role did interest rates play in the expansion of both the stock market and the housing market?arrow_forwardRaphael and Susan Firth live in Swarthmore, PA.

The CPI (the consumer price index) is also a price index representing the overall price level in the economy. Which of the below is best explains why they are different? The GDP deflator does not reflect the prices of exported goods and services, whereas the consumer price index does not reflect the prices of the imported goods and services. The GDP deflator reflects the prices of goods and services bought by producers, whereas the consumer price index reflects the prices of goods and services bought by consumers. The GDP deflator reflects the prices of intermediate goods and services bought by producers, whereas the consumer price index reflects the prices of goods and services bought by consumers.arrow_forward
- A country has just one resource - labor - that it can use to produce two goods, books and clothing. At first the country has 10 million workers, and each worker can produce either 2 books or 5 units of clothing per day. Suppose the country wants to produce 8 million books. Suppose the price of a book is $10, and the price of a unit of clothing is $20. Using this information and your answer from the last question, calculate the country's GDP (measured in dollars per day). Enter your answer as a number in the space below. (For example, if your answer is $3.75 million, enter it as 3750000 in the space below.)arrow_forwardManuel and Poornima White live in Swarthmore, PA. Their son, Shen, owns his own plumbing business.

An intermediate good is good that is used up in the production of final goods and services. A final good is a good or service that is consumed by the ultimate user. We don't count intermediate goods towards GDP because their value is captured in the price of the final good. But when goods are consumed by the ultimate user they do count towards GDP. Describe the situations when the good you describe would be considered a final good and under what circumstances would it be considered an intermediate good. Your post should be 150-250 words long. Example: A tire for your car can be both an intermediate good or a final good. If you buy a new car for $10,000, then the tires that come with the car would be considered an intermediate good. The purchase price you pay for the vehicle includes the tires, the stereo, the fuel pump, etc., so we don't want to count those intermediate goods towards GDP because they…arrow_forward

The sale of GE Washing Machines to East Coast Appliance would not be counted in GDP. Julia Jones' monthly Social Security payment would not be included in GDP. If unsold inventories = $ 200 in 2019 and $ 300 in 2020, then the amount to go into GDP for this category for 2020 would be $ 500. Personal Consumption Expenditures account for about 25% of GDP. Spending on Consumer Durable Goods tends to be very stable from year to year. Sales of used goods are included in GDP at 35% of their original sale price. Investment in new technology (e.g., software) is included today in GDP in “Gross Private Investment.” Government purchases of goods and services at all levels of government (federal, state, and local) are included in GDP. Construction and sales of new housing would be included in “Personal Consumption Expenditures” in the durables goods…arrow_forwardAlthough GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transactions and production for that nation.
