Trade as percentage of GDP is wrong
Expert Solution
Step 1
GDP
- It is a monetary indicator of the market worth of each country's manufactured or sold (not resold) final products and services over a certain time period.
- This measurement is often changed before it can be trusted as an indicator because of how complicated and arbitrary it is.
- However, GDP (nominal) per capita does not account for variations in the cost of living and the rate of inflation of the various nations.
- As a result, using such a foundation of GDP per capita at buying power parity (PPP) could be more beneficial.
- when comparing livelihoods between countries, whereas nominal GDP is more useful when comparing economic systems on the global market.
