    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?

    @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.

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.

  • @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.

  • @savata71
    @savata712 жыл бұрын

    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

    @savata71

    2 жыл бұрын

    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.
