Not quite. B is correct.

GDP measures the market value of final goods and services produced in a specific period to avoid double counting inputs.

A: why it's wrongGDP excludes intermediate goods to prevent double counting, and it includes government-produced goods and services, not just those from the private sector.

B: why it's wrongBy definition, GDP measures the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country over a specific time period.

Why

Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.

Not quite. D is correct.

In the designated base year, the prices used to compute nominal GDP and real GDP are identical, so real GDP equals nominal GDP.

A: why it's wrongBecause prices generally rose after 1980, nominal GDP is actually greater than real GDP in years following the base year.

B: why it's wrongReal and nominal GDP only coincide when the price level equals the base-year price level (i.e., in the base year).

In the designated base year, the prices used to compute nominal GDP and real GDP are identical, so real GDP equals nominal GDP.

A: why it's wrongBecause prices generally rose after 1980, nominal GDP is actually greater than real GDP in years following the base year.

C: why it's wrongSince the price level was much higher in 2002-2008 than in 1980, nominal GDP exceeds real GDP in those years.

A: why it's wrongBecause prices generally rose after 1980, nominal GDP is actually greater than real GDP in years following the base year.

D: why it's wrongIn the base year, the price deflator equals 1 (or 100), meaning output is evaluated at current-year prices which are base-year prices.

Hedonic pricing decomposes a good into its underlying characteristics to value quality changes over time, helping distinguish price increases from quality improvements.
