nflation can mean either an increase in the money supply or an increase in price levels. Generally, when we hear about inflation, we are hearing about a rise in prices compared to some benchmark. If the money supply has been increased, this will usually manifest itself in higher price levels - it is simply a matter of time.
The relationship between inflation and economic output (GDP) plays out like a very delicate dance. For stock market investors, annual growth in the GDP is vital. If overall economic output is declining or merely holding steady, most companies will not be able to increase their profits, which is the primary driver of stock performance. However, too much GDP growth is also dangerous, as it will most likely come with an increase in inflation, which erodes Stock Market gains by making our money (and future corporate profits) less valuable. Most economists today agree that 2.5-3.5% GDP growth per year is the most that our economy can safely maintain without causing negative side effects. But where do these numbers come from? In order to answer that question, we need to bring a new variable, unemployment rate, into play

Explain real GDP vs potential GDP?
Potential GDP is the total numerical value of GDP before inflation is counted in. Real GDP is nominal GDP adjusted for inflation
When nominal GDP is less than real GDP is this inflation or deflation?
deflation
Real GDP is nominal GDP adjusted for inflation true or false?
yes
How does inflation affect GDP?
Inflation is the primary and negative factor of all economic troubles including GDP,because it lowers consumerism, promote unemployment, and reduce import and export.-- Not quite. Inflation itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, and in fact deflation (negative price growth) can adversely affect the economy is well. High inflation can certainly hurt spending and employment, but inflation is just a term used for the growth rate of prices, which happens naturally as economies expand. The US Federal Reserve targets an inflation rate of 2-3% as a goal. Inflation has historically been a major concern in some of the developing world especially, and source of economic (and political) instability.

What are the components of GDP and the difference between real and nominal GDP?
GDP = Consumption + Investment + Govt. spending + net exports (exports - imports). Real GDP is the value of GDP shown in base period dollars, without the effects of inflation and price changes. Nomnal GDP is value of GDP adjusted for inflation.

Why is it important to adjust GDP for inflation?
Cg
Why has the nominal GDP increased faster than real GDP in the US over time?
The real GDP is influenced by inflation.
What are the causes through which nominal GDP had doubled overnight?
through inflation as nominal GDP does not account for it
Why does the GDP deflator give a different rate of inflation than does the CPI?
The GDP Deflator uses the GDP calculation to work out inflation while CPI uses a basket of goods that are compared over time to work out the increase in prices
What has been adjusted to remove inflation is called nominal GDP?
A gross domestic product (GDP) value that is at face value and has not been adjusted in any way, for inflation or any other reason, is known as a "nominal GDP." It is sometimes also called a "current dollar GDP."
What are the effects of low real GDP?
core inflation rate
What does it mean if real GDP were growing faster then nominal GDP?
It means that inflation is negative, also known as deflation.
