The average annual growth rate of real GDP

Concept introduction:

GDP- It is the macroeconomic measure of the value of economic output in a country in a given year. Algebraically, the GDP equation is written as:

    Y=C+I+G+(XM)

    Where Y=GDP, C=Consumption, I= Investment, G= Government, X=Exports and M=Imports. The value of C, I, G and (X-M) changes with a change in the method of aggregation of the income.

    Real GDP- GDP adjusted for inflation/deflation is the Real GDP of the country. It is also called the “constant price”, “inflation corrected” or “constant dollar GDP”. It is the significant economic measure indicating the economic growth and purchasing power in the economy. Algebraically it is expressed as:

      Yr=GDP/D

      Where Yr=Real GDP, Y=GDP and D=adjustment factor

      Population growth rate- The average annual growth rate of the population of the country.

        p=PtP(t1)

        Where p= Population growth rate, P=Population, t=current time period and (t-1) = previous time period.
