GDP deflator is based on a “market basket” fix, representing goods and services. Basket size is amended in the light of human consumption and investment patterns. Thus, new patterns of expenditure deflator may arise as a response of humans to change prices.

[edit] Method of calculation

In most systems of national account, the GDP deflator measures the difference between real GDP and nominal GDP.

The formula used to calculate the deflator is nominal GDP/ real GDP
