he following table shows World Bank estimates for world GDP from 2005 to 2014, both in nominal and real terms (real GDP is calculated using a fixed weights method, using 2005 as a base year). How do you explain the discrepancy between nominal and real GDP in 2014? How do you explain the evolution of world’s real GDP growth rate from 2005 to 2014?
