GDP Deflator
The GDP deflator is a price index that measures the change in the price level of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders. Unlike the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is based on a specific basket of consumer goods, the GDP deflator's scope covers all components of domestic GDP (consumption, investment, government spending, and exports). Consequently, it includes the prices of exported goods but excludes the prices of all imported goods.

Formula for the Inflation Rate from a Price Index
GDP Deflator
An economy's fixed consumer basket consists of 10 books and 20 coffees. In the base year, the price of a book was $10 and the price of a coffee was $5. In the current year, the price of a book is $12 and the price of a coffee is $6. Using the base year as the reference, what is the value of the price index in the current year?
Interpreting a Price Index
If the total cost of a fixed basket of goods has increased by exactly 25% since the designated base year, the price index for the current year will be 125.
Calculating Basket Cost from a Price Index
An economy tracks the price of a fixed basket of goods, which consists of 5 pizzas and 10 sodas. The prices for these goods over three years are shown in the table below.
Year Price of a Pizza Price of a Soda 2021 $10.00 $2.00 2022 $12.00 $2.50 2023 $15.00 $3.00 By selecting 2022 as the base year, what is the calculated price index for the year 2023, rounded to one decimal place?
Analyzing a Price Index Calculation Method
A country's price index for the current year is calculated to be 95, using the previous year as the base period. Which of the following statements accurately describes the relationship between the cost of the fixed basket of goods in the two years?
Analyzing an Incorrect Price Index Calculation
An economy's fixed basket of goods consists of 20 apples and 10 bananas. The table below shows the price of these goods over three years. Using Year 1 as the base year, match each year to its correct price index.
Year Price of an Apple Price of a Banana Year 1 $1.00 $2.00 Year 2 $1.20 $2.50 Year 3 $1.50 $2.00 An economy's fixed basket of goods consists of 5 pizzas and 10 sodas. In the base year, the price of a pizza was $10 and the price of a soda was $2. In the current year, the price of a soda has risen to $2.80, and the overall price index is calculated to be 140. Based on this information, what must be the price of a pizza in the current year? (Enter a numerical value only, without the dollar sign)

Formula for the GDP Deflator as a Ratio of Nominal to Real GDP
An economic price index is calculated to measure the average price level of all new, final goods and services produced within a country's borders during a specific period. This includes items like new machinery bought by businesses and goods sold to other countries, but it excludes any items that are imported. Given this definition, which of the following events would directly cause an increase in this specific price index?
Impact of Price Changes on a Broad Economic Price Index
Analyzing Price Changes and a Broad Economic Price Index
An economy produces only two goods: apples and bananas. It imports oranges for consumption. In a given year, the price of oranges doubles, while the prices of domestically produced apples and bananas remain unchanged. This price change will cause the economy's price index, which measures the average price level of all final goods and services produced within the country's borders, to increase.
