Suppose that a very simple economy produces three goods: pizzas, haircuts, and backpacks. Suppose the quantities produced and their corresponding prices for 2002 and 2006 are shown in the table: 2002 2006 Product Quantity Price $10 $15 $40 Quantity Price Pizzas Haircuts 100 120 $12 $20 $45 50 45 Backpacks 200 210 Calculate real GDP in 2006 assuming the base year is 2002. Do the same calculation assuming the base year is 2006. Are the calculations different? Why?

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the GDP Deflator for the 3rd Quarter 2021 is +5.7%. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as rising 5.4 percent over the last 12 months, not seasonally adjusted. Given this information: 1) Interpret these data and summarize its meaning. 2) What are these data measuring? 3) If you were a business economist, which would you use and why?
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 nominal GDP for the US economy? What is the current real GDP for the US economy?
The following table shows the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) G, in trillions of dollars, as a function of the year t. t = Year 2004 2010 2014 G = GDP(trillions of dollars) 11.87 14.66 17.42 (a) Explain in practical terms what G(2010) means. The expression G(2010) is the year when the U.S. gross domestic product had a value of 11.87 trillion dollars.The expression G(2010) is the gross domestic product in trillions of dollars, multiplied by 2010. The expression G(2010) is the average of G(2004) and G(2010).The expression G(2010) is the U.S. gross domestic product in trillions of dollars in the year 2010.

So far, we have learned to measure real GDP, but how do we end up with that real GDP? 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…
