Explain why you calculate the nominal GDP and the real GDP?

If we compared the GDP's of two periods, we can not really tell if there was an increase or decrease from the previous period, hence the GDPP(snd stsndsrd of living). Real GDP can tell us this because we take a reference base year price and calculate the GDP of the periods. What is actually considered here now is if there 's a change in the quantity of goods. If we used just the nominal GDP: which is the 'true GDP' that period, it will be impartial to do comparism because there might have been an increase in price but same quantity of goods (or even less). Remember, when we talk about GDP, we basically mean the total amount of production: think of it as quantity of production.


When does Real GDP and Nominal GDP become equal?

Real GDP and Nominal GDP become equal in a base year, which is the year chosen as a reference point for measuring economic performance. In this year, the effects of inflation are stripped out, so both measures reflect the same level of economic output. Outside of this base year, nominal GDP can differ from real GDP due to changes in price levels.
