Your friend has gone to FRED and pulled up the numbers FRED gives for the “Percent Change” and the “Percent Change from Year Ago” in real GDP for the 4th quarter of 2022. It turns out (you can verify this) that neither of those numbers is consistent with what the BEA says real GDP increased by. So your friend is very puzzled. Write one paragraph in your essay that helps your reader clearly understand what this 2.9 percent number really means, using the FRED numbers for context.arrow_forwardThe accompanying table shows data for real and nominal GDP for a hypothetical economy over several years. a.

Of all of the different amountsof national income and price levels that might exist, how do we gravitate toward the one that gets measured each year asreal GDP?In short, it is the interaction of the buyers and producers of all output that determines both the national income (real GDP)and the price level. In other words, the intersection of aggregate demand (AD) and short-run aggregate supply (SRAS)determines the short-run equilibrium output and price level.Once we have a short-run equilibrium output, we can then compare it to the full employment output to figure out where inthe business cycle we are. If current real GDP is less than full employment output, an economy is in a recession. If currentreal GDP is higher than full employment output, an economy is experiencing a boom. If the current output is equal to thefull-employment output, then we say that the economy is in long-run equilibrium. The…arrow_forwardWhat 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 nominal GDP for the US economy?
