Lesson 10: Gross Domestic Product | Unit 2: Looking Behind GDP
|
Page: 12 of 25
|
GDP is the total MARKET VALUE of current economic production, that is, GDP measures current production at current market prices.- If we measure current economic production, current prices work fine. If we compare GDP from one year to the next year, current prices can be misleading.
- For example... a 10% increase in GDP could result from changes in production, prices, or both. Production could be 10% higher will prices do not change. Or prices could 10% higher while production does not change. Or this could be a mix of changes in production and prices.
- All we know is that GDP has risen by 10%, but it is difficult to know what has happened to physical production.
We need something more, we need real GDP.
