Reference equation: Real GDP per capita growth rate = Nominal GDP per capita growth rate rate. - Inflation rate – Population growth This equation is an approximation of the exact rate of growth of GDP per capita, and so it results in some errors when calculating this rate. However, the simplified equation is both easy to use and results in small error terms when inflation, nominal GDP growth, and population growth are low, and so it is a useful approximation. The table below lists a fictional country's nominal GDP, real GDP, GDP deflator, and population over two years. Year 2019 2020 Nominal GDP $1,100,000 $1,200,000 GDP deflator 100 102 Real GDP (2019 dollars) $1,100,000 $1,176,471 Population 1,000 1,005 a.

Inflation rate – Population growth
This equation is an approximation of the exact rate of growth of GDP per capita, and so it results in some errors when calculating this
rate. However, the simplified equation is both easy to use and results in small error terms when inflation, nominal GDP growth, and
population growth are low, and so it is a useful approximation. The table below lists a fictional country's nominal GDP, real GDP, GDP
deflator, and population over two years.
