问题如下:
Assume the GDP in Country X of year 2016 and 2017 is $200 billion and $220 billion respectively, using 2016 as the base period, the GDP deflator for 2017 is closest to
选项:
A.110
B.90.9
C.10
解释:
A is correct.
The GDP deflator is calculated as 100*(220/200)=110.
考点: GDP deflator
解析:直接依据定义计算100*(220/200)=110.
老师,好:
2017deflator=2017 nominal GDP/2017 real GDP。nominal GDP有了,但real GDP=current output×base price,base price是2016年的,但是current output没有提到。如果2017 real GDP直接代入200,那就默认16和17年的产量相同。可是题干就没有提到两年产量相同,直接代入200让人很费解啊。
