How to calculate real GDP using nominal GDP and GDP deflator?

Solution

The image contains a formula for calculating real GDP using nominal GDP and the GDP deflator. The formula shown is:

Real GDP (99)=Nominal GDPGDP deflator×100\text{Real GDP (99)} = \frac{\text{Nominal GDP}}{\text{GDP deflator}} \times 100

In this specific case, the values provided are:

  • Nominal GDP = 8,000
  • GDP deflator = 110

Substituting the values:

Real GDP (99)=8,000110×100=7,273\text{Real GDP (99)} = \frac{8,000}{110} \times 100 = 7,273

Thus, the real GDP for this example is 7,273.

  1. What is the difference between real GDP and nominal GDP?
  2. How does the GDP deflator help adjust for inflation?
  3. Why is it important to calculate real GDP?
  4. What other methods can be used to adjust nominal GDP for inflation?
  5. How does inflation impact the accuracy of nominal GDP measurements over time?

Tip: Always use the GDP deflator when you want to adjust GDP figures to account for price level changes (inflation or deflation).
