What is the difference between nominal GDP and real GDP
Nominal GDP (NGDP) is the GDP measured at current prices. Real GDP (RGDP) is the GDP measured at constant Prices. RGDP is a better measurement of economic well-being, since it eliminates the effect of price changes.

What is the GDP deflator?
The GDP deflator is the ratio of Nominal GDP to Real GDP. Hence, GDP Deflator = NGDP/RGDP. GDP deflator is a measurement of the overall level of prices in the economy.

What is the difference between the CPI and the GDP deflator?
a) GDP Deflator measures the prices of all G&S produced in an economy. CPI measures only the prices of G&S included in a Basket. b) GDP Deflator includes only those goods produced domestically. CPI includes also imported goods.Some countries can, therefore, export inflation. c) GDP Deflator assigns changing weights since the production changes over time. CPI assigns fixed weights to G&S included in the Basket.
