The GDP deflator is a measure of the overall price level of goods and services produced in a country. It is calculated by dividing nominal GDP by real GDP and multiplying by 100.

What is the relationship between GDP and the GDP deflator?

  1. GDP and the GDP deflator are positively correlated.

  2. GDP and the GDP deflator are negatively correlated.

  3. GDP and the GDP deflator are not correlated.

  4. The relationship between GDP and the GDP deflator is complex and depends on a number of factors.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The relationship between GDP and the GDP deflator is complex and depends on a number of factors, including the composition of output, the level of economic activity, and the rate of inflation.

How is the GDP deflator used?

  1. To measure inflation.

  2. To compare the prices of goods and services in different countries.

  3. To calculate real GDP.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The GDP deflator is used to measure inflation, compare the prices of goods and services in different countries, and calculate real GDP.

What are some of the limitations of the GDP deflator?

  1. It does not take into account the quality of goods and services.

  2. It does not take into account the distribution of income.

  3. It is difficult to calculate accurately.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The GDP deflator does not take into account the quality of goods and services, the distribution of income, or the difficulty of calculating it accurately.

What are some of the alternatives to the GDP deflator?

  1. The consumer price index (CPI).

  2. The producer price index (PPI).

  3. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D

  1. Chain-weighted GDP deflator

  2. Fixed-weighted GDP deflator

  3. Implicit GDP deflator

What is the difference between nominal GDP and real GDP?

  1. Nominal GDP is measured in current prices, while real GDP is measured in constant prices.

  2. Nominal GDP is measured in constant prices, while real GDP is measured in current prices.

  3. Nominal GDP is measured in current prices, while real GDP is measured in future prices.

  4. Nominal GDP is measured in future prices, while real GDP is measured in current prices.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Nominal GDP is measured in current prices, while real GDP is measured in constant prices. This means that real GDP takes into account the effects of inflation.

How is real GDP calculated?

  1. By dividing nominal GDP by the GDP deflator.

  2. By multiplying nominal GDP by the GDP deflator.

  3. By subtracting the GDP deflator from nominal GDP.

  4. By adding the GDP deflator to nominal GDP.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Real GDP is calculated by dividing nominal GDP by the GDP deflator.

What is the relationship between real GDP and economic growth?

  1. Real GDP and economic growth are positively correlated.

  2. Real GDP and economic growth are negatively correlated.

  3. Real GDP and economic growth are not correlated.

  4. The relationship between real GDP and economic growth is complex and depends on a number of factors.


Correct Option: A
