Nominal GDP is the GDP which is measured in current price levels , so it does not account for inflation from one year to another . Even though output may be same from year to year , nominal GDP will be different if prices are different . Real GDP , on the other hand , adjusts for inflation and is better measure of economic growth . Real GDP is calculated using base year prices or unchanging prices . So it reflects changes in GDP level or growth of output .
GDP Deflator = Nominal GDP / Real GDP * 100

Discuss the difference between real GDP and nominal GDP, which is used by economists to measure economic well-being and why. Why is a large GDP a good thing? Give an example of something that would raise GDP but would be considered undesirable and explain.
We were unable to transcribe this imageWhy is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP? O Real GDP does not include the value of intermediate goods and services, but nominal GDP does. 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.
How do the calculated values for inflation, the real GDP growth rate and nominal GDP growth rate relate to each other? A. They are related in that the growth rate in real GDP plus inflation rate equals (approximately) the growth rate in nominal GDP. B.They are related in that the growth rate in real GDP minus inflation rate equals (approximately) the growth rate in nominal GDP. C.They are related in that the growth rate in nominal GDP plus inflation rate...
