GDP is the total value of all final goods and services, produced in an economy, during a particular period of time (usually a year). When this value gets adjusted for inflation, it becomes real GDP.

In other words, the inflation adjusted total value of all goods and services, produced in an economy, in a year is known as real GDP.

For measuring real GDP, first nominal GDP is measured of the given year. Then this value of nominal GDP is divided by GDP deflator of that year. The GDP deflator measures the level of prices of all new domestically produced goods and services, in that country during that year. GDP deflator is a measure of inflation.

The long-run growth is measured as the increase in real GDP per capita and this measure has changed over time and it also varies across countries. A country’s standard of living depends on its ability to produce goods and services (productivity). How do we measure long-term economic growth of a country? What are the key determinants of long-run economic growth? What is the relationship between economic growth and productivity? What is the major source of growth in labor productivity?
