Reference equation: Real GDP per capita growth rate = Nominal GDP per capita growth rate - Inflation rate - Population growth rateThis equation is an approximation of the exact rate of growth of GDP per capita, and so it results in some errors when calculating this rate. However, the simplified equation both is easy to use and results in small error terms when inflation, nominal GDP growth, and population growth are low, and so it is a useful approximation. The...
