Is it accurate to use changes in real GDP to measure changes in the welfare of a country’s population? Explain. 3 Marks
False
According to the definition of the GDP, it is the production of goods and services within the boundary of a country in a financial year.
Real GDP talks and consider with respect to a base year and in terms of inflation also
However, changes in real Gdp do not measure the welfare of a country population
The reason behind this is that it ignores many factors that actually tells about the welfare of the people living there
For example Standard of living, happiness index, GIni coefficient, etc which actually helps in telling about the real scenario of the people living there.
So it is not accurate measure

We were unable to transcribe this imageWhy is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP? O Real GDP does not include the value of intermediate goods and services, but nominal GDP does. Real GDP is not influenced by price changes, but nominal GDP is. Real GDP measures the value of the goods and services an economy produces, but nominal GDP measures the value of the goods and services an economy consumes.
a) Explain why the traditional fixed-weighted measure of real GDP is preferred to nominal GDP for assessing changes in an economy's production over time. b) Explain why a chain-weighted measure of real GDP is preferred to the traditional fixed-weighted measure of real GDP.
