How do we compare the standard of living in two different countries or in the same country over time? Comparisons of per capita Gross Domestic Product are one possible answer but what is GDP? What is nominal GDP? What is real GDP? And how do we compare US GDP of say 14.5 trillion dollars with Thai GDP of 9.5 trillion baht? It's more complicated than it looks! Exchange rates, for example, fluctuate much more rapidly than does the standard of living. Thus, in this video we look in more detail at the GDP statistic and how we compute Purchasing Power Parity adjusted GDP.
