To calculate the GDP deflator for 2017 and 2018, we use the following formula given in the text:
The GDP deflator = × 100
The GDP deflator for 2017 = × 100 = 100
The GDP deflator for 2018 = × 100 = 107.1
Since the value of the deflator is 100 in 2017, 2017 must be the base year. Since the value of the deflator in 2018 is greater than the value of the deflator in 2017, prices must have risen.
