Suppose that the nominal GDP in 2017 was $3,968 (in thousands) and 2018 is the base year. Now the nominal GDP for years 2018 and 2019 will be the sum of the nominal GDP of the previous year and the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA.) for the current year. [COLAs per year are equal to the percentage increase of the rate of inflation.] When we calculate the nominal GDP this way, what is this economy’s real GDP each year?
