Report: The economy of the United States has shown a wide difference in the nominal GDP and the real GDP. Inflation in the country has led to the increase of the nominal GDP at an accelerating rate than the real GDP. The nominal GDP of the nation is calculated by the nation's level of output multiplied with the prevailing prices in the economy. The nominal GDP is also likely to increase even is the nation thinks of producing a level of output as he did the year earlier. This is because of the inflation in the economy will cause the products to increase its value in the next year. The rise in the real GDP is not witnessed due to inflation rather it is a control for the inflation. Over time we have noticed that there has been an increase in the real domestic product as well. This was due to the growth in the economy. The productivity also increases with the increase in normal GDP.

The increase has reflected in the increase in the individual expenditure of consumption, increase in the level of exports, increase in the level of spending by the private sector in the inventories and the increased spending by the local government (Mankiw, 1997). The gains were affected by the lower spending by the federal government and fixed investment in the residences. The rate was also affected due to the enhanced imports made by the country.
