[@nahirtorres82305]

I know it's been 4 years since you commented, but I would like to explain what I understood just to be clear: Nominal GDP is the amount (in dollars) made in sales of a product THAT SAME YEAR. Real GDP is the amount made in sales of a product, BUT using the price of the BASE YEAR, not THAT SAME YEAR's price. So with the apples example, let's say that 10 apples were sold in year 1 (aka base year) for $1 each; the nominal GDP (and real GDP for that matter) is $10 because 10 apples for $1 each is $10 dollars. NOW, let's say that in year 2, we sold 20 apples for $2 each. The nominal GDP for year 2 would be $40 because 20 x 2 = 40. BUT the real GDP would be calculated using year 2's qty sold times year 1's price. So multiply 20 x 1 (year 2's qty sold times year 1's price) and that would give you $20 as real GDP for year 2. Someone with expertise on this, am I correct?

the axis should be switched: quantity as x and price as y

[@lx3469]

David McKee for all diagrams I draw in economics we do price on the Y axis, quantity on the X.

[@fourlegged_chicken]

@David McKee Direct relation of quantity to price

[@OMEN_meme]

In econ we take indepent variable at y and dependent at x

[@samuelmalsawmzuala1109]

This doesn't matter, as long as the diagram are adjusted so that they give the same result. It's like writing commodity X on Y axis, and commodity Y on X axis; there are no rigid rule to it. Even in mathematics, though there are certain rules, it doesn't matter the way you solve the problem as long as you obey the law of mathematics as you yield the same answer.

[@107chewy]

Price should be at Y axis and Quantity at X axis.

[@LightningAlchemist7]

[@SalsaTiger83]

@NZSideways8 no, that's not because of black background. It's because the video compression tries to encode only the changes. In these screencasts of an image painting program, virtually nothing changes from frame to frame, making this extremely efficient. The codec mostly only has to update the area under the tablet pointer. The same would be true for images with solid white background or even photos in the background.

[@kingtigercrownestate9102]

Okay let's assume that the price of apples increases for inflation but the output (quantity) remains exactly the same in the following year.

[@savata71]

The question is what is GDP. Is GDP the quantity of goods produced or the value of those goods! For example, in an infertile year with the same investment and labor, fewer apples will be produced, but then the value of each apple will be higher than last year. Thus, in both years we have produced two different quantities of apples, but each of these quantities has the same value. If GDP measures the amount of apples, it will have decreased in the second year, but if it measures the value of apples produced, it will be the same, even though fewer apples have been produced in the second year. So if we assume in the video example that there is no inflation, that is, that banknotes express the value of goods without changing the scale of that expression, in terms of value, the second year of GDP has grown by 20%. In this case, it will turn out that the second year was less fertile, but more trees were harvested than the previous year. In other words, the production of 1 kg of apples required more labor, but at the same time more apples were produced than in the previous year. And what happens if the increase in the PRICE of apples is due to inflation and not to a change in VALUE (price and value are not the same thing!)? See the following comment:

[@savata71]

Suppose that the value of 1 kg of apples does not change, but changes its price in dollars. That is, last year the value of 1 kg of apples was expressed by $ 0.5, and this year, due to inflation, the same value is expressed by $ 0.55. In this case, the percentage by which the quantity of apples has increased already coincides with the percentage by which the value of the total quantity of apples produced has increased. The percentage increase in the amount of apples is 9.1% (182/2000). GDP has also grown by that much in value. But this applies only in this case, in which we assume that the value of 1 kg. apples do not change. Due to inflation, the total value of apples is now expressed not by $ 1091, but by $ 2200. THE whole subtlety is to make a difference between a change in the quantity of a given commodity and a change in the value of that quantity. Not only is it possible to change to varying degrees, but even, for example, with an increasing quantity of a good, its value may decrease if it begins to be produced by some new method that requires much less past and living labor.

[@MrGeocidal]

Is year 1 always the year in which the country was founded? How do you compare real GDPs from countries that were founded in different years? As more inflation would occur in 200 years than 50 years.

[@duenaya]

if what you care about is the change in totoal quantity(the whole point o f nominal GDP), why don't you measure and compare the quantity in gross production of both years in the first place??

[@cheddyrod]

Aren't you assuming that the quality of apples are the same? Does that make a difference?

[@Jimjimmy0102]

What if the price increase of apples were actually due to better quality or larger apples? What if we dealing with iphone 10 vs iphone 11? What about services, if we had a price increase due to improvement of services?

[@nik4546]

The reason why prices increase is usually due to better quality or quantity. GDP calculates total market values of good and services; we can measure if it increased or decreased, not why. In this case, that extra 91$ might be because of quality, not necessarily quantity. Hope I helped.

Let's say: if you want to assess the growth of productivity of a certain country during a period of time - use PPP GDP figures, BUT if you want to compare current productivity of say two countries against each other - use nominal GDP figures. Any opinions?

[@InspirareGlobal]

I think that measuring the growth in productivity of a country over time should be done in real GDP, not PPP GDP. If you're only looking at one country then you'd want to take the real GDP value as it mitigates inflation (thus, showing you only how much productivity increased rather than prices). Additionally, the currency of that country makes no difference because it's the same currency that's used year after year. I think PPP GDP should be used when comparing the productivity of two countries because of currency differences. For example, comparing a GDP value in British Pound versus US Dollar is meaningless because each currency is valued differently. This is when you'd want to use PPP to compare GDP.

[@kennethkey7401]

What are the answers

[@benwetherbee]

Mmmmm TI-85 Rom... Would it be accurate to measure this against the population? In my mind it would be similar to an artificial interest gain in a bank account where that interest is actually lower than inflation in currency. Say you made $50 one year on an account with $20,000, but inflation for that year was 1.7%. Effectively, you've still lost money. The point would be that even if production goes up, it could and probably does go down per capita.
