    Study Notes

    Macroeconomics: GDP

    • GDP is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a year.
    • GDP is calculated quarterly and annually by the Central Statistics Office (NSO) in India.
    • The annual measure of GDP encompasses a financial year from April 1st to March 31st.
    • GDP measures a country's total output including millions of products and services.
    • GDP does not make sense to just add up quantities, it uses market values to determine worth.
    • GDP calculations can be trickier the longer the time period compared.
    • In 2000, for example, economists had to consider the price of a computer.
    • The more years that pass, the more difficult it is to determine how to adjust for quality changes.

    GDP Growth Rate

    • GDP tells us how much a country produced in a given year.
    • The growth rate of GDP shows how rapidly production is rising or falling over time.
    • To compute the growth rate from 2020 to 2021, use GDP numbers from the end of each year.
    • Formula: (GDP2021 - GDP2020) / GDP2020 * 100 = GDP Growth rate for 2021

    Nominal vs. Real GDP

    • Nominal GDP = Quantity produced * Current Price
    • Real GDP = Quantity * Base Year Prices
    • Real GDP is adjusted for inflation to reflect real changes in production
    • The government switched to a new base year of 2011-12 in January 2015, replacing 2004-05

    GDP Deflator

    • The GDP deflator is the ratio of nominal to real GDP, multiplied by 100
    • A price index that measures inflation
    • Formula: (Nominal GDP / Real GDP) * 100 = GDP Deflator
    • 2021 prices were about 68.35% higher than 2011 prices
