Measurement
GDP deflator Consumer Price Index (CPI)
![Page 7: Inflation Frederick University 2014. Definition A process of irreversible increase in the overall price level, involving a change in relative prices](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022072017/56649f005503460f94c1669c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
GDP deflator Nominal GDP – GDP at current prices Real GDP – GDP at constant prices (base
year prices – chosen year) Index – the change in the value of an
indicator compared to its previous level, taken as a base (= 100)
GDP deflator =(Nominal GDP : Real GDP) х 100GDP deflator is a current year weighted
index

Consumer Price Index
Consumer basket Relative shares of goods in the
consumer basket - g CPI = [(P1A/ P0A)x g0A + (P1B/P0B)x g0B] x
100 Rate of inflation = [(CPI – 100)/100]x
100% CPI is a base year weighted index

CPI an example There are two goods in the
economy – movies and wine
Р of movies in 2010 г. = €5. Р of wine in 2010 г. = €4. Q of movies in 2010 г. =
400 Q of wine in 2010 г. = 2000 The cost of consumer
basket = 400 x € 5 + 2000 x €4 = =€ 10000
€ 2000 out of these €10000 were spent on movies. This makes 20% or 0.2 of all money spent on movies.
Thus, the relative weight (g) of movies in 2010 = 0.20
g of wine = 0.80 Р of movies in 2011 = €8 Р of wine in 2011 = €3 CPI = [(8/5) х 0.20 + (3/
4) x 0.80) x 100 = 93 Rate of inflation = = (93 -100)/100 x 100% =
= -7%If the CPI were above 100,
the rate of inflation would have been positive.
