Why are economist so concerned with GDP?

GDP is the most accurate way to determine if the economy is performing well.


Why do economics measure the gross domestic product?

Economists use real GDP per capita rather than simply real GDP. This is because population growth is an important variable (per capita), and so, real GDP per capita is the more accurate measurement of the GDP.


In 2000 year the economy produced real GDP as a 100 and nominal GDP was 100 but in 2001 economy produced 110 so nominal is 110 what is the real GDP and why?

How do you calculate nominal GDP at market price?

Nominal GDP is GDP evaluated at current market prices. Therefore , nominal GDP wil include of the changes in market prices that have occurred during the current year due to inflation or deflation. Nominal GDP= GDP deflator.real GDP/100 Real GDP is GDP evaluate at the market price of some base year. GDP deflator --- Using the statistics on real GDP and nominal GDP, one can calculate an implecit index of the price level for the year. This index is called GDP deflator. GDP deflator = nominal GDP/real GDP .100 The GDP deflator can be viewed as a conversion factor that transform real GDP into nominal GDP. Note that in the base year, real GDP is by definition equal to nominal GDP so that the GDP deflator in the base year equal to 100.


Why is investment so important to GDP?

investment is part of output, so if we have a low investment, we will have a lower GDP holding all other factors constant.

How can nominal GDP increase even though real GDP falls?

Primarily this happens because of increase in prices. Nominal GDP= GDP using current prices. Real GDP= GDP that takes prices changes into account. Let me give a very simple example, let's say: In year 1, the country produced 10 computers for 10 dollars each. So GDP for year 1= $100 In year 2, the country only produced 9 computers for 15 dollars each. So GDP for year 2 = $135 (9x15) In year 2,the nominal GDP has increased from $100 to $135. However, we measure real GDP using a base year, in this case year 1, so we use the price of year 1 to find the real GDP for year 2. Using prices of year 1 we have: 9 computers x $10 each = $90 of real GDP. Finally, you see that even nominal GDP for year 2 was $135, the real GDP was $90.


What will happen to GDP if Suppose police become more efficient and you hire fewer police officer?

GDP will decrease because, GDP is considered with the Quantity not with theQuality. Therefore Less service provided, cause less output, so GDP goes down.


Can GDP be zero and if so what does that mean for the country with a zero GDP?

The GDP of a country - or even a large community - cannot be zero. Zero GDP implies that there is no output (goods or services), nobody spends anything (on things from inventories or imports), nobody earns anything.
