In a press conference, the president of a small country displays a chart showing that GDP has risen by 10 percent every year for five years. He argues that this growth shows the brilliance of his economic policy. However, his chart uses nominal GDP numbers. This chart might be wrong because it: is rare for GDP to increase by the same amount for five years. only uses five years of information. relies on nominal GDP which might have increased because of price increases and not output increases. relies on nominal GDP which might have increased because of output increases and not price increases. If you were a reporter at the press conference, to get a more accurate picture of the country’s economic growth you should ask for the: unemployment rate which reflects changes in international flows. growth rate of real GDP which excludes price changes. growth rate of real GDP which includes price changes. inflation rate which includes price change.
